ex bff shamed me for doing sw
After months of no contact she randomly sent a long message shaming me & wishing me the worst in life, basically.
I’m very happy with my life & what I do. I know sex work is unconventional & I’m A-okay with that, but I guess this predicament just made me wonder how you gals deal people irl asking about what you do (when you feel like it’s safe to be truthful) & how you reason with doing sex work despite people arguing against it.
My opinion is that the real problem is the patriarchy, not sex work. The patriarchy is NOT how things have always been, & hopefully not how they always will be. I could go on about how sexism bleeds into our everyday lives. Men have ruined so much for us already, so women having more control & authority in the sex industry should is a positive imo. People say porn harms women but the reality is that men harm women, & porn is just another byproduct of that. Because sex is so intimate, the repercussions of sexism are bold, highlighted, & underlined, and I feel like it’s exactly this that causes such a misdirected response. The root of the cause (evil men) permeates MORE than just the sex industry. If you want women to be safer in society then let women have more authority & power. This is the unfortunate reality we live in, but we can still make the most of it & I feel like that’s what we’re doing.
What are your thoughts?
