Isn't that massively debatable?
Even if you find someone that says yeah I want to do this - what in their background/life story pushed them into that and made it what they "want"
- rendall 5y ago> Isn't that massively debatable? Of course! Anything is massively debatable, if you want to be unreasonable enough about it. I've had discussions with people who were on the pro side of the "slavery debate", which is a thing apparently, and then tell me off using woke language to stay in my lane. But, yes, all anti-sexwork positions must begin and with the premise and insist that the sexworker does not really have agency. Not really a reasonable perspective, no matter how cleverly you try to twist it.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 5y agoI have difficulty following this argument. It seems to me that if I were to apply this to myself that I would appear as a victim of "math work", where I have a background / life story that pushes me to "want" to do math.
- s1artibartfast 5y agoBy that definition, basically every person on the planet is a victim. I am a victim of my middle class upbringing that made me want to be highly compensated and do white collar work.
- Manuel_D 5y agoThe same could be said of plenty of other jobs. Does your waiter "want" to serve you food? Does your office's janitor "want" to clean toilets? If we adopt the position that workers who do their work because they need to earn a living are victims, then huge swaths of the economy - perhaps the majority of workers - are victims.
