Bigger repo of theory / resources:
Books to check out:
Shifting back to the term “sex work” is a solidarity statement. It’s also the term chosen by many workers who chose to have sex with individual people for a living. That is the type of job the woman in the video I posted works in. The workers doing a job get to decide what they call it.
Fully legalizing sex work solves most of the issues around client violence, workplace accidents, healthcare, and state violence.
There is nothing sexist about my claim.
Calling sex work “social rape” is fucking sexist.
I do think the scandinavian solution of keeping it illegal to purchase but legal to sell works the best for keeping dynamics in the favor of the prostitute.
you think this ‘works the best’ based on what? your direct experiences organizing? Your wide array of SW specific theory? help me understand, where does this knowledge come from?
