How is sex work seen as empowering to women? “We’re in control” but not entirely??? And that sentence leaves out women who are defensive/survival prostitutes (women who sell themselves in order to stay alive) or forced into prostitution who really can’t afford to be in control of the situation. Thing is, it’s been proven that it’s getting harder and harder for men to be aroused unless there’s some violence against the woman they’re trying to have sex with. Men who regularly watched porn had more difficulty getting aroused than men who didn’t. It’s been proven. People reblogged it, and yet people still say this. And men’s opinions don’t change about strippers/sex workers. They will always see those women as objects for their enjoyment and subsequent disposal. They don’t care whether or not you feel like you “make them pay” to touch you because it won’t change how they feel and honestly, of they don’t like what you do, they’ll just move on to someone else who WILL do what they want. It’s still men using women for sexual gratification. It’s still men using women as objects and not caring about them afterwards. It’s still men objectifying women. Sex work is empowering for no one. -- source link
