>Consuming sex work isn’t misogynistic

Something very much up for debate amongst leading scholars. I - personally - think buying sex is bad, and degrading to both parties.

Who are those "leading scholars" and what gives them authority to be the judge what consenting adults do with their body for a living or for entertainment?

I actually know people who have worked in various different professions in the sex industry and it really depends on an individual to individual basis just how “degrading” it is.

There are obviously people who are exploited. So those instances should be treated with the full severity of the law.

However there are genuinely others who enjoy the work and find it more empowering than degrading. So it’s not just an industry full of stereotypical sleaze bags exploiting vulnerable women.

I’m not making an argument for nor against sex work here by the way. Just saying that you cannot treat this kind of topic with Boolean arguments like you have done. It’s a hell of a lot more complex than that.

In my opinion what we really should be doing is spending more time making this industry safer for those that choose it, rather than pretending it can be eradicated and thus pushing it into dark corners where vulnerable individuals cannot be kept safe.

Interestingly, none of that fits the definition of misogynistic
