Look back at your reply. You said there's no way to solve the root problem other than for sex workers not to engage. Why is this situation different in this respect from any other work under capitalism? Huge amounts of misogyny are involved, but it's also like any other work under capitalism.
Also thank you for being kind, considerate and polite to me with all of this.
Is that actually how you think about capitalism, that it's a matter of people simply needing to not allow themselves to get exploited? I'm being genuine here, that's a pretty big misunderstanding of how capitalism even works. None of us can just opt-out of capitalisy exploitation. When I was working my cleaning job for some corp, I was being exploited and selling my labour. Sex workers are too.
I don't think I attacked your character anywhere, other than implying that just wanting your gf to stop doing sex work is a bit swerfy, hence "not a swerf, but".
If I've made any wrong assumptions, I want to know, preferably without so much swearing and insulting me, please.
You said "I'm not a swerf, but". You know the phrase "I'm not racist, but"? And unsurprisingly, you followed it up with a story about stopping this woman from doing sex work, "think I made a positive impact in her life", I don't think it's a leap to say 'yikes' about that.
What are they supposed to do, just not work forever? Permanent strike? People under capitalism unfortunately need money to live, and for the majority of people that means work. Strikes do not stop exploitation, all work under capitalism is exploitative, all bosses under capitalism are stealing surplus value. Having to work as a pre-requisite for housing is exploitation.
Beyond that though, do you think everyone should either strike right this instant until an Employee's Assembly runs every company? Like western governments won't send in strike breakers? and that the alternative is to just be homeless because then your labour isn't being exploited??? I think that's absurd. I got fired last month, fwiw.
also please stop swearing at me.
