Stray thought: I wonder if people who object to being a free therapist for their partner also object to being a free sex worker.

Probably worth noting that most people (inc. me) won't have a reference for how sex workers are treated, other than transactionally.
I submit that most people also don't have a good reference for how therapists are treated. Even the large minority who have been to therapy are probably quite unclear on how therapy works and the nature of the therapeutic relationship, or what it's like to be the therapist.

I feel like I have a clearer idea with therapists since it's white collar. The more general point I was making is that this seemed like the sort of example that's easy to gloss over until you ask "wait, how *do* sex workers get treated?" and realise you don't know.

Well I think part of the problem is that "sex worker" is a very heterogenous category. But yes it's true I probably have a much better picture of what it's like to be a therapist than I do to what it's like to be a sex worker.
