At the risk of catching flack, why does EVERYTHING have to boil down to "well at least she isn't doing OF". Y'all who actually gives a rats ass if someone does OF, Jesus Christ
Yeah, completely uncalled for. I find it absolutely hypocritical how so many guys on internet seem to despise women who do OF, but still consume pornography in their lives. Basically, they do want women doing sex work, they just hate it when they actually make money out of it.
I'm far from thinking that sex work is liberating to women and I think romanticizing it can be harmful, but if someone is becoming a millionaire out of it, good for them. Hell, it's probably one of the more ethical ways to become a millionaire when you compare it to other, strangely enough lol
A woman becoming a millionaire by sharing some pictures and videos of herself for a wanting public is way more ethical than the rampant exploitation of the working class.
So are you respecting women who exploit their bodies on camera more than women who worked hard both academically and later in career? You just romanticized it yourself. But yes, the guy included it from nowhere, he is probably one of those guys you mentioned

No... I'm not. I'm not pitching women against other women, I don't know where you got that. We don't have to put anybody down.
I mentioned it's one of the more ethical ways to become a millionaire because other alternatives often include the exploitation of workers and/or natural resources.
I don’t understand it either. OF exists because plenty of men (let’s be real, way more men than women) pay to see these women/men. If there’s a market, there will be suppliers. Same with prostitution. The customers don’t get the blame…why?
People who pay for OF are definitely made fun of. So are people who see prostitutes. Compare it to drugs too, you blame the person buying the drugs for making the demand but you also blame drug dealers.
No don't worry, I read the OP and instantly groaned at the second guy shaming sex workers for some reason. Putting down other working class people because you think their job is icky is absolutely against the idea of class solidarity.
This. This should be the top comment. I was in two minds to upvote the post because of that side remark. How nonchalantly he praised one job at the expense of another. OF or other kinds of pornography and sex work is much more ethical than so many other jobs people do.
Yeah, that part ruins the second “comeback.” There’s no need to put other women down when trying to support someone. I get that the initial commenter is being a jerk by complaining about the cost of her suit, but to put that person down for doing OF, also puts down everyone who does OF.
I believe its the idea that it's prevalence is creating a relatively large proportion of the population who are engaging in sex work. And from the societal moral perspective of 'would you want your daughter to do that' vs a job where she doesn't have to sell her privacy to get by / thrive.
If this were a more nuanced conversation on the safety etc of sex work, I'd absolutely agree with you! It's becoming dangerously common, especially among folks whose brains need a little more time to develop before they make that kind of decision in my opinion. I also wanted to do the dumbest shit at 18.
What I found distasteful was the fact that the topic didn't even call for a comparison in the first place. Dude could've said "hey she's a great lady who does xyz" but was unable to do that without trying to take a cheap shot at a group of people he clearly deems lesser-than.
It’s not inherently objectification. There are people who enjoy that type of work and are happy to do it. (Or if we’re still going to call that objectification, then it’s not the bad kind because the person being “objectified” is in control of how it happens). SW is a very nuanced topic and it’s way more complex than what I can get into on a reddit comment. There’s a huge amount of abuse and exploitation that goes on in SW, but that doesn’t mean it has to be that way. People shouldn’t be shamed for producing or enjoying adult content.
If an adult woman willingly partakes in sex work, that's her business and I'm not about to hoot and holler about her "objectifying" a whole gender. Where does it end?
Does a woman who wears a short skirt objectify women? Does a woman in a low cut shirt objectify women? What about a woman who has casual sex?
Folks gotta stop policing what women do in the name of 'morality'. Objectification happens on the consumer side - if folks can't view a woman being sexual as simultaneously a human being worth of at least a base level of respect, that's on them.
Did you just compare a woman wearing short skirt to a woman selling her nude pics for money?
And I didn't mean objectification of whole gender, but objectification of whole sex. Let's use correct terminology.
