       | It's incredibly disappointing that this has become the quiet part
       | that must be said out loud.
       | 
       | There are probably a relative handful of women in this line of
       | work who genuinely do enjoy it, though whether it's a healthy
       | enjoyment is beside the point. it's just enough a cohort to
       | sustain a core systemic cycle of self perpetuation as the POV of
       | these women becomes the focal point for the narrative of all the
       | people who enjoy or otherwise benefit (i.e. financially) from
       | having women in these situations.
       | 
       | The vastly larger outer ring of women who do not want to be
       | there, or are rationalizing their actions out of an
       | understandable need to survive, don't get any press (except the
       | most spectacular and lurid or fatal cases of exploitation or
       | abuse) as there is no money to be made from stating what should
       | be plainly obvious to anyone who is capable of feeling anything
       | at all, as this article does.

       | This is a very interesting piece. We are at a stage where we're
       | supposed to consider sex-work as "empowered", and in some circles
       | bringing up the negatives can be seen as "non-progressive" or
       | even misogynist.
       | 
       | It's healthy to be able to have a debate around this issue, and
       | it's most definitely necessary to hear testimonies and take them
       | at face value.

         | Yeah you get a lot of internet philosophers on these issues who
         | for some reason insist on failing to understand the dark side.
         | Most people would be horrified constantly having sex with
         | strangers they aren't attracted to.
         | 
         | I've also seen this on the issue of assisted suicide. It's
         | shocking how many people go on reddit with some "enlightened"
         | idea about how anyone should be able to kill themselves. Who
         | are you to say their life is not worth living? Well it turns
         | out that there are countless people in programs that both want
         | to kill themselves and to live. If we just let everyone
         | immediately kill themselves, as these people advocated, it
         | would be a bloodbath of incomprehensible proportions.
         | 
         | So in either case you have tens to hundreds of people being
         | hurt for every one that legitimately fits the profile of
         | needing to die, or genuinely enjoying sex work. Yet we're
         | supposed to focus on that one unicorn, and ignore all the
         | needless suffering.

         | Not spam as far as I can tell. Rather it's an anti-prostitution
         | piece.
         | 
         | Regardless of how you might feel about prostitution, that
         | doesn't make it spam.
         | 
         | Or am I missing something?
