This one really confuses me. I have seen a number of blogs/ articles talking of sex work.

It suits many to pretend there’s no difference — as it suits many to pretend there’s no difference between a woman and a “trans woman.”
Pull on the slightest thread of pretense in these arguments and they completely unravel. They need an investment of belief in order to function. And that should tell you all you need to know.

So the difference from being an inappropriate creepy stalker and a welcome sexually suggestive flirt is… whether they like you or not.
Sex has been a go to trade off since humans had wants needs.
Trophy wife does it for a life, some do it for a fix.
The false argument above is lack of choice. If both can walk away and don’t …isn’t that consent? Rape has no consent. Paid rape is an oxymoron.
If on the other hand the “work” is UNPAID or paid to another … the story is different
“49.6 million people were living in modern slavery in 2021, of which 27.6 million were in forced labour and 22 million in forced marriage.
Of the 27.6 million people in forced labour, 17.3 million are exploited in the private sector; 6.3 million in forced commercial sexual exploitation, and 3.9 million in forced labour imposed by state.
Women and girls account for 4.9 million of those in forced commercial sexual exploitation, and for 6 million of those in forced labour in other economic sectors.”

The activist bullshite penetrates so many aspects of our academic institutions. It says so much about how the values of the Left can be distorted into perversely anti-female stances and ideology.

We need to encourage more people to be thread pullers. There is safety in numbers when it comes to debunking this stuff safely in society, when enough people feel safe enough to say “no” we can begin the long task of undoing the activist Left’s long march through our institutions.

It’s totally confusing. You see a lot of people say sex work is work. And it is from this we have decriminalization pushes and so on.
