I would think that would make her uniquely qualified to teach it.

Yes, many academic disciplines view fieldwork as essential. Those who abstain can even be labeled as armchair theorists.

Legalize prostitution and get rid of the stigma. It being illegal only hurts the women (mostly) in the long run. With legalization you could get rid of a lot of abuse and make it easy for these women to come forward if there is abuse. I think it would also make underage trafficking harder if prostitution was legalized.

I think we’re a long way from that, but one can hope for society.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 92 points 11 months ago

Hurting women is the point. By keeping some people's primary form of income illegal they can be superexploited, just like undocumented migrant workers. It's no coincidence that they're also similarly at risk of kidnapping, trafficking, and violence. No work insurance, no safety net, no legal protection, no rights, no dignity, and if you get caught you are the one that gets punished instead of the people who exploit you.

Conservatives need prostitution to be illegal. If anybody with some cash could go out and get laid then the right would quickly run out of incels to recruit.

[-] VubDapple@lemmy.world 41 points 11 months ago

They need sex to be shameful all around. The more shame they can induce, the more leverage and control they have over everyone.

Sex work is work. This woman did nothing wrong. Fuck the puritans who fired her.

[-] jarredpickles87@lemmy.world 38 points 11 months ago

Fuck the puritans who fired her.

Ironically, there's a chance that she may have been doing just that.

I paid for my teaching degree by working as a prostitute. Prostitutes aren’t extra horny degenerates or something, they’re just folks trying to survive. I’d probably be a better teacher if I could still do it, because I could cut back the hours at my second job 🤷‍♂️

Seems like we hold teachers to higher standards than CEOs and politicians, for less money than a Walmart GM makes…

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 36 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

More like hold women to stricter standards than men.

Men can and are celebrated for being absolute sluts. Hell, its actively encouraged in most spaces.

Woman sleeps with more than 2 people and an inordinate amount of people will look down upon her and say all kinds of horrific things.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 33 points 11 months ago

It's almost like we should be paying you more... But... Nahhh, MuH tAxEs!!! Wahhhh!

Doesn't this ironically make her more qualified?

[-] ladicius@lemmy.world 32 points 11 months ago

That makes her completely unironically more qualified.

"Over qualified"

[-] AnotherOne@feddit.de 89 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The fact that prostitition is illegal over there still baffles me. It's just a job and if anyone knows about safe sex it's someone who works a profession tied to it. If i wanted to learn about some hobby i'm sure i could learn more from a professional than some random guy.

[-] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 41 points 11 months ago

I'm sure the misogynist gym teacher with the emotional aptitude of a 15 year old who's partner has to drink themselves ready for the same missionary sex they've had for the past decade is a great teacher of sex-ed.

[-] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 32 points 11 months ago

we were like 14 years old when dude said "well, today's the day". then he took a banana out of one drawer of his desk, and a condom out of another drawer. like they had always been there. like they belonged there. like the box his desk came in said "sturdy construction, faux wood grain paneling, and advanced banana and condom storage solutions." he then took ten minutes to explain to us that condoms don't work, and we shouldn't trust them, and that only by not fucking will we be safe from wrath, rack and ruin. He then tried to put the condom on the banana, struggled with it being upside down for a bit, and BROKE THE FUCKING BANANA.

This was the state of sex ed in the wilds of Pennsylvania circa 2000

I am against prostitution being illegal. I am also against slut shaming. And I am even more against ruining someones future opportunities of ANY kind for having been in the sex work business. But befor you let anyone teach: Make sure they are a teacher. If you want to teach biology (which sex ed is a part of) to children, you better have a degree in biology and teaching, ffs.

So what's the problem? They're blaming her for keeping up-to-date on topics she was teaching.

[-] nublets@sh.itjust.works 40 points 11 months ago

Per the Post, parents discovered several Lola Brea profiles, and noted her to be an expensive and "well-reviewed" escort, who warned that no-show clients could face a penalty of up to $3,000.

Sounds like teaching was her side-gig...

The publication reported that a judge had signed an injunction in 2016 that prohibited specific children to visit "any place of Ashley Villalobos' residence" because she was a "known prostitute."

Lmao it's like she's poisonous or something, what the fuck

[-] Harpsist@lemmy.world 30 points 11 months ago

That's Exactly the woman I want teaching sex Ed.

We had a priest... Teaching sex Ed... That's like having a blind person instruct drivers Ed.
