fully informed informed sex work with protections for the workers themselves is fantastic, and good for all those involved. However I personally do think we should question where the pressure for commodification is coming from, and be more honest about the risks involved.

Almost nobody arguing for the legitimacy and destigmatization of sex work is saying there are no problematic aspects to the industry, or that there are no problematic aspects to how society treats women's sexuality. But the fact that we live in a world in which both misogyny and commodification are pervasive societal forces has no effect whatsoever on the fundamental legitimacy of sex work.

Sex work is work. Sex workers are workers. Stigmatizing sex work and sex workers is irrational, unjust, and socially damaging. We should stop doing it.

Also, sex work, as an industry, can be predatory, parasitic, and callous. That's bad and we should take steps to minimize these harmful aspects of the industry--just as we should take steps to minimize the predatory/parasitic/callous aspects of all industries. We should also take steps to help the people who are employed by an industry to be less vulnerable to possible abuse (as long as said "help" doesn't involve victim blaming or infringing on people's rights to self-governance).

We should also continue feminisms fight to make society less of a misogynistic shitshow.

All of these things are true and none of them are in conflict with each other. What's constructive is the recognition that all of these aims exist in harmony with each other; they are pulling in the same direction. What's damaging is many people's desire to treat these aims as things that are separate from, and in opposition to, each other.

AYRT I don't think we're actually disagreeing all that much. I never said that sex work isn't legitimate or is somehow morally wrong, and I don't think OP actually did either. All I am saying is that people entering this field, and especially young people who are particularly at risk, should be prepared for the world that exists--with the predation and possible abuse, as you mentioned, which in sex work is unfortunately an even bigger risk because of the illegitimacy, of course--while we work to create the world that we want, where it's not an issue.

I just think it's a bit disingenuous to encourage young people to enter a world that's STILL full of issues BEFORE we find reasonable and actually helpful ways to fix those problems. That has nothing to do with the morality of sex work itself.
