@the_moep I don't see why I need to spell this out personally, but okay. There are a lot of radical feminist anti-capitalists (ostensibly, leftists) who believe that sex work in itself is exploitation and commodification of the female body separate from its status as labor. I am happy for you if you haven't encountered them. They are known for speaking over actual sex workers.

SWERF ideologies have a pretty decent foothold in some spaces right now.

I say this because I am anti work myself! But while and when people must work, I want them/us to have full labor protections and rights. Which is what I want for sex workers!
