I don't carry the burden of proof in a pointless reddit discussion. Why would I waste my time compiling evidence for someone who just thinks sex work is inherently bad? Let me ask more frankly, would you actually change your mind? Wouldn't someone who has firsthand experience in both online and in-person SW, who also has many friends with their own experiences in this industry, who follows non-profit organizations dedicated to the decriminalization of SW, have much more experience on this topic than you? Unless you have something else to add other than discussing how violent FSSW is. What are people supposed to do with that information? Because I promise you the violence this study references intersects with other social issues like systemic racism, poverty, police reform, and privatized healthcare. Your research ends with linking one study on reddit to appear like you know what you're talking about. Your intentions may be good but at the end of the day it stops at reddit for you, because like you said, you wouldn't vote for someone who actually wants to work towards harm reduction. As she points out here. If you actually did proper research on this you would know that decriminalization is the only way to reduce violence in this industry.

Edit: Ah, your argument is making more sense now.

I’m not going to do the work for you. Reddit has a way of making people do work for others, and really, even if I did.. Would you actually care and listen? You can search on google yourself and fine tune your results to only include research papers. Or better yet, use a scientific article database. Maybe remind yourself of the #MeToo movement?

The study you linked is aimed at the use of psychotherapy in conjunction with women exiting the sex industry to “… lead more fulfilling lives.” While the statistics on violence in the sex industry is true, it doesn’t take into account why that is. This paper only talks on how to help women exit the industry, which is narrow and not inclusive on a few fronts. Mitigating violence in the sex industry isn’t just about helping people exit it. Just like how prohibition never works. It only further marginalizes people. It’s easy to say that in person sex work is bad and therefore it shouldn’t exist, which isn’t even really what that paper concludes.

You should look up studies on how many women, or people in general, experience workplace sexual harassment and how that trauma impacts them.

There’s no hope. That person just wants to believe sex work is just sitting there and being attractive. You’d think they’d have more of an issue with nepotism.

No. If you think stripping or any other occupation only requires you to be attractive, then you clearly don’t think they qualify as jobs. Just because you say it’s a job doesn’t mean you actually believe it.

Found another woman hater in the thread.

No. You said “those individuals still have to get actual jobs”, asserting that you think stripping isn’t an actual job.

If stripping isn’t an actual job why do strippers still have to pay taxes?
