    Pretty fucked up to think that sex workers should be subjected to a bunch of misogynists.

    There’s a disconnect with capitalism and culture. Getting laid isn’t going to fix that.

        See… you’re pretty much aggressively agreeing with me and that’s fucking ridiculous, but also clown shit.

        In this thread a bunch of people are suggesting that sex workers would/ should take on clients that have a higher than average probability of hurting them… failing to acknowledge the fact that sex workers may or may not take on a particular client.

        The overall sentiment behind the comments like that is putting an obligation on to sex workers, “fuck this guy and save the world.”

        Sex workers can say, “no” to a potential client just as well as they can say “yes.”

        There’s also several places that already have legal sex workers; yet here we are with this problem.

          Maybe sex workers should also keep a gun in a drawer, or better yet hire a bodyguard

          A few dead abusive johns will go a long way to cleaning up the scene

          Also, why do we assume that them having sex with a sex worker will magically fix the serious mental issues they’re facing? Will they suddenly become likeable dudes that women want to be with after that sex worker experience? I’m pretty sure Elon has had sex with a few sex workers. Let’s ask him…

            100% agreed. Who’s to say they don’t punch a sex worker in the face and determine that they enjoy the experience?

            But at the end of the day, the burden falls onto the sex workers right? Voters and informed citizens shouldn’t have any input…

      Sex work should be subject to protections under the law, including the law, the courts and the healthcare system - rather than subject to persecution, ostracization and having to fend for themselves outside of the law. They’d rather want sex motels decked with panic buttons and security on guard.

      Think before you assume you’re actually concerned for someone’s well being, and if you think continued illegality will somehow eradicate sex work - let me remind you that it hasn’t worked thus far. Please reconsider your stance.

        Again, just because a bunch of assholes on lemmy think that sex workers should bear the burden of fixing the worlds’ incles; doesn’t mean I need to agree with that idea.

        If they want to take that task upon themselves; that’s their call. If they don’t want to take that task on, that’s also their call.

        You’re going on about the legality of sex work… different discussion.

          No, it was a side argument regarding mental health. Fixing mental health is an everybody issue, especially when people are products of their environment. Having a healthy sex life is part and parcel of improving mental health, on top of exercise, a good diet and actually handling or leaving toxic environments.

          You’re not able to see my main point because you want people to suffer, because you think they deserve to suffer, because you want to feel superior and calling me an asshole indirectly at the same time because you’re too much of a pussy to tell me directly.

          So the only asshole I see here is you.

            Fixing mental health is an everybody issue

            No, it’s really not. People with mental health issues have absolutely no fucking business trying to fix some other person’s mental health issues. It’s NOT your place to tell individuals what they should or should not be doing. It’s NOT your place to tell people how to live their lives.

            You’re not able to see my main point because you want people to suffer,

            What in the hell is wrong with you? You’re the one who wants to force sex workers into fucking incels “to benefit society.”

            because you think they deserve to suffer,

            LMFAO - show me where that is in anything I’ve said… I’ll be waiting.

            because you want to feel superior and calling me an asshole indirectly

            If it makes you happier to call you an asshole directly - fine, you’re an asshole and I think you’re dumber than dog shit too.
