[Feminism that supports the sex industry leaves power to women]

I'm a pro-sex worker feminist, and I'm a supporter of women putting a price on their bodies, even if that might sound like the opposite of what feminism advocates for the objectification of women.

Analyze, the focus of sex workers is on the "transaction", one side provides your physical needs and the other side provides economic needs. It is an equal and each take what he needs. Regardless of whether men and women use their bodies to make money, it is the same as any other job. The same, it is a legitimate profession, and it is also a transaction of your own will and informed consent.

The objectification of women is that after the man has sex, (rather than a sexual relationship with money / any transaction), there will often still be me "earning" your body, "earning" a beautiful, good figure, The various conditions of women are marked with prices like items, and they come to figure out how much they "earned" one by one, and treat women as items that can be pointed and selected.

Don't just say that girls are good, male sex workers also have to suffer a lot of discrimination on a daily basis, and this discrimination can be seen everywhere. However, if both men and women are engaged in sex work, they will basically be slut-shaming (slut humiliation) more definitely women. After all, society likes to assume that women are always vulnerable in sex, and they are the ones who are "taken away" of chastity. Fang, so they presume that women are victims of sex trafficking, and tell them that after doing similar work, they will be "hard to be treated well, hard to be loved" and humiliated in a way that "no one wants", without any hesitation. The disguised discrimination brainwashes women into losing their physical value, as if the value of the whole person has plummeted.

And what I often think is that the real power in the sex industry is actually women, to understand their own characteristics, to know how to have a faster form, to achieve the money and quality of life they want to have, which may have to keep oneself To be sexy, you have to know how to make good use of your charm, use your flirtatious qualities to make money, and then make a loud and confident quote, it sounds absolutely sexy.

In terms of social needs, the appearance bonus itself is an asset, and it has no gender. If you think that women are in the sex industry to please men, then you are wrong. From the beginning to the end, they are just to please themselves and to please themselves. Goals and desire for money. And when everyone "stops seeing everything women do as conforming to the male gaze, that's the first step toward truly treating women as equals."

I have a few friends in Taiwan and the United States who have been engaged in sex work. They usually need to muster up a lot of courage to share this story. The trembling tone makes me speechless every time. I don’t know what they want. What will be the reaction, will it be comfort? Or do you want to be loved and stopped from sex work? I have no idea. I usually just reply: "It's hard work, it's not an easy job." Like any other job, I don't think they need to explain anything to anyone.

Sex workers don’t owe society an explanation, and they don’t have to have the tragic family stories you expect to be in line with the discrimination that we/society think “will do” the sex industry. Stop making sex work a low-level job where there is nowhere to go, it should be treated equally as any other job, with or without a header, as a legitimate career choice.

I think if I meet a friend who is willing to share their sex work experience with me, or share their new identity as a sex worker, this time I'll just say, "Congratulations, it's great that I finally got a new job. "
