Many s*x workers (including myself) advocate for decriminalization.
Decriminalization removes the legal penalties to selling s*x. This allows workers to report abuse, exploitation or trafficking without being evicted, arrested, deported, blackmailed/extorted, assets seized, or r*ped by the hands of the police.
The personal empowerment of workers should be irrelevant to the fact that police and the state are the largest hands of violence of many s*x workers. Because s*x work is criminalized, workers are unable to report abuse or exploitation without the fear of arrest (or worse).
Removing the legal penalties to selling s*x allows both victims of trafficking and consensual s*x workers to seek justice and valuable resources by removing the discretionary power of police.
Decriminalize, Destigmatize, Decarcerate!

The ongoing debate surrounding s*x work often overlooks vital aspects of labor rights, including economic necessity and systemic inequality. Advocates argue that empowerment should not be a threshold for human rights; rather, it is the inherent dignity of every worker that warrants protection. The s*x industry, much like other low-wage sectors, can fail to offer empowerment due to socio-economic pressures and systemic stigmas. Many s*x workers enter the field driven by necessity, facing discrimination based on class, race, gender identity, and other factors. This complexity calls for an understanding that while some individuals may find empowerment in their work, it does not diminish others' struggles or the need for legal protections. The push for decriminalization aims to create a safer environment for all workers, enabling them to report abuses without fear of criminal repercussions. Advocates also emphasize the importance of destigmatization to foster more supportive communities and better resources for s*x workers. Ultimately, the conversation should focus on creating equitable systems that honor every worker's rights and safety.
the brainwashing in these comments is beyond insane. SW is not empowering, especially for the ladies who insist their men stop watching it. When women stop providing content, prn shuts down. prn shuts down, the objectivity of women shuts down. SW is FAR from feminism, it is simply providing men what they want.
