Women who feel they are forced into sex work choose to feel they are forced. Power only comes when we choose to take control over our bodies and lives. Two, women's bodies are exploited in the minds of men every second of everyday in male-female interactions everywhere. The only difference between strippers and other women is that the dancers charge men for looking at their hoo-tots, and the rest of us get angry. Angry people aren't in control.
Rich people are.
And there are those of us who know that since sex work is the oldest profession in the world, men are never, ever going to change. Sex workers are scholars in the theory that the strong gain from the weak. Each and every weekend they exploit their way around their titty bars, magically transforming blank stares and crude remarks into independent lives lived in true feminist fashion.
