I'm not disagreeing, but then why is this argument limited to sex work? I say this because I've only ever seen it made in discussions about sex work. There are oodles of jobs where people routinely get injured, suffer strain injuries and damage their bodies in various ways, and those are often low-paid jobs with exploitative work relationships as well. Is it because (unlike porn) much of the world is - literally - built on that? Or because it's easier to care about some than others?
- AlecSchueler 5y agoThere's plenty of discussion about workplace safety in just about every sector where is relevant. The rise of health & safety laws enacted by governments the world over throughout the past century should show you that. We used to have people working with asbestos without any personal protection as one example
- belorn 5y agoThis is good. We should have work regulations in place to prevent people from doing work that is harmful to the human body regardless of much a person volunteer to do it (in context of people wanting to get paid). It does mean that labor costs will go up, especially in work places that pay low and require a lot of people doing physical work. It also mean we need to start having a different view about work places injuries. Every injury that occur because of work is a direct failure of either regulation or enforcement of said regulation.
