I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it's forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?

Rich people don't to sex work like they don't do any kind of work that requires real labor, more news at 11.

Now being serious, I fail to see how that makes sexwork any special that it needs to be removed completely.

As usual you won't tackle what the previous user said:

Any undocumented farm worker could tell you the same thing.

Because yes! farm workers are usually exposed to chemicals used in farming with minimal protection (gloves and masks) while sweating under 40 degrees Celsius at least on California

You already know why this happens and why it is exploitative

When is the last time a farm worker was raped. Given a std that's permanent. ?

Beaten. Stalked. ?

i was about to tell you they get cancer from these chemicals but it was too obvious for me, let alone thinking only sex workers are raped while working

but at this point you just wanna measure who wins exploitation olympics instead of recognizing they are exploited in radical different ways
