            By isolating and moralizing sex worker's right to work, you implicitly differentiate their work from others and make it more difficult to have legitimate labor discussions around legalization or organizing.

            It's not really about being an incel. It's about how people treat fellow workers.

                    You feel differently about your private parts. You shouldn't speak for everyone in that. As someone who used to be a sex worker (because it was the easiest way for me not to starve), not everyone sees it the same way you do.

                    Of course, there's room for exploitation in sex work, but that comes from it's illegality moreso than from anything else.

                    I'm begging you and anyone who feels simarly to listen to that podcast, read work from the sex workers project, or both.

                        No matter the society, not every person feels sex as an innately intimate experience.

                        All of the examples or situations you named (which there are a lot and I'm not sure exactly where to even start) aren't specifically sex work. Those are situations (like a relationship) or hierarchies (like with your boss) that's nowhere near the situation a safe sex work Environment has.

                            I don't think your viewpoint is horrible by any means. I just disagree with you.

                            I also don't think you come off as debate-bro-y and hope I don't, either.

                            In the end, sex work under capitalism will be exploited in the same way as every other type of labor. There can be no real liberation until it's outside a capitalist system. All sex workers are asking for, though, are the right to be treated as actual and legal work.

                            Edit: just as a side note, if your boss asked you to wash his car or clean his feet that would be weird and uneasy, too. Not because they're sexual acts but because it's a weird fucking thing for a boss to ask to do inatead of regular labor.
