| 15. but that is where the argument about force comes in |
|
some people feel that women are forced into sex work because of economic need, sexual discrimination, and lack of pay equity in this culture. And that makes the work degrading because if these conditions exist it isn't wholly free will. Of course that is true of any job. Plus some sex workers don't necessarily feel 'sexual' while they are simulating sexuality, they are acting.
