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?

leaves you with less options in your social life, pays barely enough to get by, and is way way more intrusive to the laborer. it's clearly not like other work.

Yeah, I forgot about all the incredibly fulfilling fast food and coffee jobs that pay a living wage and are easy to get by on.

It clearly is like any other service work, unless you believe sex is a magical, special sphere of human activity. And if you do, then you're thinking magically and not materialistically.

love having my reasons ascribed to me when I already laid them out, clearly I'm just a dullard while you have seen every possible argument one could make. Enjoy your sex treats I'm done wiht you all.

Clearly you don't love having the giant Bronze-age patriarchal bullshit sized holes in your reasoning pointed out.

Go on pretending anyone who isn't exactly the same kind of ascetic you are is just a "Treatlerite". It definitely doesn't make you look ridiculous to leftists and liberals alike.

Ok now it's getting funny again

Clearly you don't love having the giant Bronze-age patriarchal bullshit sized holes in your reasoning pointed out.

You didn't engage with my reasoning at all lol

It definitely doesn't make you look ridiculous to leftists and liberals alike.

I am a leftist and guess where I got my current stance from? ๐Ÿ˜‚ also what else is there except leftisr and liberalism ๐Ÿค”
