Why do some glamourize sex work when it's clearly not good for women?

I think there is a mix of denial and misconception here from both men & women who support sex work. I think the women want to believe it is more empowering in some way to embrace sex work as they think it might give more power to them instead of the men that have exploited women's bodies for such a long time in history.

Perhaps it is similar to African American men and women using the N-word in all sorts of media, daily conversations, etc.

The idea is to embrace things that have caused one harm and fear in the hopes that by embracing such things they will no longer to harm you or cause you to fear.

BUT

The N-word is still a divisive and harmful word.

AND

Women in sex work are indeed exploited, harmed, objectified, etc.

Perhaps embracing something is not the same as making it a part of your life.

Perhaps embracing something is to understand what it really means and not shy away from it.

From this, one can chart a better course or path

An African American man or woman can embrace the truth of the N-word and decide to not use this word in any capacity in their lives. This man or woman can then decide to not use other harmful words or manners of speaking, so as to talk in a more sensitive and deliberate way. This person can become anything, from teacher, nurse, doctor, police officer, etc.

One does not have to use words of hate in their speech.

Despite altering them, they still possess their essence and memory.

A woman can embrace the truth of sex work and decide to not follow on this path as it will cause her great harm emotionally, mentally, and physically. She can become anything she wants, which I think is the best antidote to combating a history of women being used for sexual objects/being seen as sexual objects.

A woman who does this to herself increases the objectification in the world, legitimizes it. The real power belongs to the men, because the woman's actions are dictated by what men want

[The_Maphio]

It's all on women. They want to be everything at once, and have become horrible at everything.
They don't want objectification yet they prostitute online, they want the right to abortion at will, then ask why they are single and alone after they hit "the wall" age.
They want a career but they are sad and pathetic when they see they have no family.

Maybe they should determine what they want before bitching about everything.
The new millennium's women are not worth any effort.

[Ninjazzed]

You realize our bodies aren’t free real estate?

You bitch about abortion yet walk right past the orphanage.

If I was getting a diseased kidney surgically removed, you wouldn’t care.

That’s how it should be.

If you’re not the one carrying and developing a life for the next 9 months, then shut up. Your opinion is irrelevant.

Also, what about a child crying during parent teacher events because he/she knew their parent (s) didn't want him/her?

What about the sadness of a child stuck in the foster care system feeling like they’ll never be loved because the system is all they fuckin know?

What about the infants who experience far more pain than necessary from beatings or sustained injuries from someone unfit, forced to be a parent when they aren’t even stable enough to care for themselves?

What about the pain we all feel reading your pathetic attempt at gathering fake sympathy over something that has nothing at all to do with the issue?

Seriously, I’ve never actually heard of anyone aborting a child that the father wanted. Only when financial reasons were involved.

You know why? Cause chances are, they were never told, or they were told and the potential father said "up to you" or "its not mine".

Make it make sense.

[Ninjazzed]

You act as if you have anything to offer these “new millennium women” like you’re referring to illegal aliens.

And standing up for one’s own rights is hardly “bitching” or are you just shitting in a fit of hysterics because you believe all women owe you something and refuse to have this privilege pried away from you?

You’ve never actually had to fight for your own rights, you’ve always took it them for granted.

Sure, let’s cast stones at anyone who deviates from the collective hivemind. I don’t think it has anything to do with modern women, just your shitty mentality and personal insecurities at play here.

Regardless of their lifestyle, it doesn’t entitle you to object anyone.

Being single at old age as a woman isn’t exactly as detrimental to us as it is for men anyway.. single and lonely virgin men are the laughing stock of society, because they’ve made it that way.

Studies show that lonely women are much healthier overall while single men have taken a devastating blow to their mental/physical health.

This is what’s wrong with men nowadays, as since the dawn of humanity.

No wonder you always senselessly kill each other out of pure ignorance and inflated ego.

[The_Maphio]

@Ninjazzed Two entire walls of text just to empower my thesis. Thank you.

[Ninjazzed]

Ironically, you couldn’t even empower your own “thesis” but nice theory.

[OlderAndWiser]

I think this is a strange offshoot of feminism. Yes, "sex work" uses women and makes them valued only for their bodies, but calling it "sex work" is an attempt to make it sound dignified and suggests that it is a conscious means for women to exercise some power over their lives. The alternative would be to just call those women dumb whores.

[Ninjazzed]

Such a shame, and to think I had a lot of respect for you.

That’s long gone. I have no respect for slut-shamers.

A better question would be.. why do men indulge in paying for hookers only to talk shit about them later? Two-faced Neanderthals.

[Ninjazzed]

Let’s flip the narrative. If it were a man, you’d call him a “king” or a “pimp” because you to love to perpetuate the double standard.

[OlderAndWiser]

@ninjazzed. Since you are capable of telling me what I am thinking and what I will say, I will allow you to finish this dialogue by yourself. Please let me know when "we" are finished.

[Ninjazzed]

Judging by your original comment, it’s brutally obvious what you were thinking.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Ninjazzed You are offended because I referred to prostitutes as dumb whores? Are you taking this personally? Are you a prostitute?

[Ninjazzed]

I’m not a prostitute.. and nothing implied I was.. but being so doesn’t render them as “dumb whores” because you know nothing past that. It’s unfounded, only indicative of your hatred of sex workers.

All you know is that they’re prostitutes making a quick buck. You praise men for having the ability, yet you don’t think women should have the same?

Because you don’t respect sex work or its providers yet use their services only to talk shit later.

Not only are you being pretentious, you’re just heavily opinionated.

[Ninjazzed]

If they decided to fire all the pornstars on earth you’d be crying then.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Ninjazzed

"You praise men for having the ability, yet you don’t think women should have the same?" WTF are you talking about? I praised men for having what ability?

"Because you don’t respect sex work or its providers yet use their services only to talk shit later." Please remind me when I used the services of a prostitute, because the way I remember it, it has never happened. Not once. But you have no problem fabricating facts so you will have a reason to disagree with me. That makes you a mean-spirited and hateful person.

"If they decided to fire all the pornstars on earth you’d be crying then." I highly doubt that.

Obviously, you have an inability to tolerate people disagreeing with you. You should focus inward and try to resolve that matter because it is inevitable that it will create problems in other spheres of your life.

Good luck.

[HeelyGod25]

No, this is just you deflecting the fact that you have aimed irrational animosity and contempt towards a select group of people who haven’t harmed you in any shape, way, or form in this case?

So who is really mean in spirit? You should reevaluate your comment.

Such hypocrisy.

[OlderAndWiser]

@HeelyGod25 Someone asks my opinion and I give my opinion. I am not driving around town looking for whores to attack. They have the right to do what they want with their lives and I have the right to form opinions about their actions. I do understand that the snowflake left wants everyone to sit around the campfire and say nice things about each other but I don't succumb to that stupid PC pressure.

[Ninjazzed]

It’s just another job. No matter how you look at it.

You can work any job that is considered “taboo” or “odd” and cut yourself off from it, emotionally. Doesn’t mean it’s glamorous.

Take Dieners and forensic teams, for example.

It’s difficult and gruesome but life goes on. You get used to it.

You watch porn don’t you?

Then clearly you support sex work.

[Account]

Sex work is mostly in demand by men though. Also let's not forget that many women who do it are trapped and cannot escape.
Plus there are women who choose to do it. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. It is their choice to take advantage of a job that has always been high in demand.

[Dazed0N0Confused]

The oldest profession in the world 🙄
What you choose to do to make a buck & the color of your skin & any derogatory terms deriving from it are TWO VERY DIFFERENT FUCKING THINGS

[Asker]

I do not think you understood anything that I wrote.

[KrakenAttackin]

Sex is the source of women's power. The "go girl" movement has encouraged girls and women to use their "power" indiscriminately and with reckless abandon to "empower" women. What it has really accomplished is to so dilute women's power that they have been reduced to nothing but whores.

[Ninjazzed]

So in other words, guys can have sex casually and be “go-getters” with relatively little consequence?

Sugar-coating the double standard?

Sex isn’t the source of women’s “power” as you coined it. Sex is just the only thing you personally value in a woman. It speaks volumes of your vain nature.

How is it diluting their “power” when said “power” would render them as whores by default?

It’s like you’re contradicting your own opinions.

[Ninjazzed]

Maybe there’s a good reason you’re divorced.

[KrakenAttackin]

@Ninjazzed No. Wrong. Women hold the keys to sex and men hold the keys to marriage.

You say sex is all I value on women? Take 5 minutes and look around GAG or any advertising and you will see how focused on sex women are.

Your virtue, or lack of having sex, is an asset a women can either preserve or spend like a drunken sailor. Women pursue men who are seen as desirable by other women (i. e. Chad Thundercocks), so yes, men are go getters if they have sex with many women. This is not a "double standard" , it is a fact of how humans are wired.

[Ninjazzed]

Women don’t value pussyhounds, but whatever helps you cope. You just prove my point with every sentence that you know jack shit about women.

[GoldenTulip]

It is very u healthy! I also don't understand the popularity. I guess it is only men who glamourizes it? Because they presume those women are super good in bed?

[hellionthesagereborn]

No idea. Though as long as its of their own volition I think women have the right to do it, I just think its stupid and self destructive.

[princeofromance]

I do not glamourize sex work. However, If they are not forced into it; and that is truly what they want to do. It is not up to us to put them down for what they do. They are human, just like You and I.

[Tamera952]

I don't know if they glamorize it, but it's not always bad.

[888theGreat]

And they complain about Covid being dangerous. Porn = Child sex rings.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I agree with what you said!

[Agape93]

It pays well and it can be liberating

[SamA_nold]

So sex work is good for male sex workers then?

[Ninjazzed]

Men perpetuate a double standard. 🙄

[exitseven]

Movies are nothing like real life.

[Gwenhwyfar]

I have no idea
