    This. Also find it odd when ppl call sex work 'selling herself'. That is not where the self is. More just to say of ppl who sell their mindshttps://twitter.com/drsprankle/status/722307392663199744 …

    If you think sex workers "sell their bodies," but coal miners do not, your view of labor is clouded by your moralistic view of sexuality.

        Even that is not quite selling one's self. If selling the use of one's brain for work's projects. Maybe artists get closest to selling self.

        When your daughters say they want to be doctors or engeneers,tell them they can make more money as a prostitute ...

        I don't think money is the only issue. Women are much less likely to prioritise raw income than men. I'd prefer her to have a job with greatest fulfillment.

        Indeed ,nobody wants this for their daughters, and prostitutes that weren't particularly buiseness wise end up in women's mental health centers,lets not glorify this career move

        I doubt anyone wants 'sewage worker' for their son either. But there will always be a need for both & the best we can do is make sure everyone has options and make the less attractive ones well-compensated and safe.

        Ppl using the term 'sex-worker' have a skewed sense of employment (morality). In my experience they often either misunderstand liberalism, or have suspicious motives.

        Employment and morality are different things.

        Not at all. There are thousands of provisions/laws to regulate morals in the field of employment. We as ppl also attach moral values 'en masse' to different fields of work.

        Sex is non-trivially different. All cultures "constrain" it and the most currently successful ones became successful while constraining.

        I am agnostic on prostitution-legalization, BTW. I just think it's unhelpful to refer to sex taboos so flippantly.

        I think its unhelpful to accept them uncritically even tho we have underlying psychological issues around them.

        One point is that sex can create babies and bringing children into a world where they won't be properly cared for seems immoral.
