I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it’s forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?

    Yes. In an ideal world, people won’t have to do any dangerous or difficult jobs. But for now, we can’t start with the worst offenders.

    do you believe that all sex work is dangerous or difficult?

    do you believe that easy & safe but compulsory work as a means to get obtain food and shelter is an ideal world?

      Emotional toll aside, putting yourself at the mercy of a stronger person who has already shown that he does not care about right and wrong, day after day, is very much dangerous.

      do you believe that easy & safe but compulsory work as a means to get obtain food and shelter is an ideal world?

      People do enjoy work when it is pleasant and interesting. Should it be compulsory? I don’t know. Rich people who don’t have to do any work often lose touch with the world. So perhaps even in that ideal world where we have amazing robots that can do anything, we should have people do a little bit of some work of their choice.

      But all this is just speculation. For now, the focus should be on freeing people from the most dangerous and difficult jobs.
