Is the irony not lost on you making such a statement on post about prostitution?

A "sex worker" is just a euphemism for a whore. You know what they say about lipsticks and pigs.

> that most sex work is done in desperation, that our society doesn't give everyone even close to a level playing field.

Cry me a river. That is such a lame copout. Not all of these prostitutes are desperate, and even the ones that are make a better living than some software engineers. You are telling me that a person can't find any job other than selling their own body??? What would you tell all the other women making minimum wage? Should they all become whores too?

My whole point was that desperate men don't even have the same luxury of such a fallback "job", so your statement is rather ironic.

> - Some comments showing veiled resentment that they have to pay a woman for sex, that women have it easier, that men are the unlucky ones, the oppressed ones.

Well, is it not true? In the sexual marketplace getting sex for women is effortless, and for men it takes all the effort in the world.
