People in power work to marginalize it because they’re threatened by it. It’s pretty successfully marginalized if a woman can get arrested for it even while sacrificing economic profits to a pimp or massage parlor. Maybe the author could have been more explicit about it but to my reading sex workers can’t be both marginalized and calling the shots.
- whimsicalism 3y ago> sex workers can’t be both marginalized and calling the shots Disagree. Calling the shots in the business, not in society. Just like a drug kingpin might be calling the shots in their organization.
- ses1984 3y agoComparing a drug kingpin to a prostitute is kind of ridiculous but if that makes sense in your mind then I doubt we would see eye to eye on pretty much anything.
- whimsicalism 3y agoIt was a counter-example in the analytic/math sense, I was in no way suggesting that a sex worker is equivalent to a drug kingpin. Merely an example as to why your assertion that [calling the shots is incompatible with overall societal marginalization] is wrong. Happy to not continue though, I think you struggle with good faith discussion and/or reading comprehension (:
- barrenko 3y agoIt's marginalized because it's a shitty job, like every other shitty job (source: I've worked a lot of shitty jobs.)
