Author view Altink s.m. And I agree, it is quite ludicrous and harmful to anyone involved to consider the social networks of sexworkers as pimping networks.
Some women feel they are exploited by 'a pimp'.
Maybe we should call this situation of 'theft of earnings and blackmail with the stigmatization attached to sexwork', instead of pimping. As for the business managers, even if we are talking about 'good brotheloperators or managers' they are quite a different party from sexworkers. Let us consider the issue in the light of labour relations. It could be argued that the relation between sexworkers and brotheloperators resembles that between workers and employers. Certainly there is an inequality in the field of powerrelations.
