While the notion that it’s “good” is nonsense, I’d call it a lesser evil, or at least something she and countless others have decided is a lesser evil, infinitely preferable over further poverty, homelessness, and other similarly demeaning and underpaid work.
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen you posting about it and- well, yeah. Sex work is not good, yes. But within capitalism and a wildly imperfect world, people need their bread, and this focus on the people simply trying to make the best of terrible circumstances and the terrible system they live within isn’t exactly productive, rather the opposite.
To simplify this: if you want to end sex work, stop picking on the sex worker and actively work to destroy the system that drives them into sex work in the first place. Create a system where everyone’s needs are met and their reasonable wants are achievable. Once that happens, the conditions necessary for sex work to exist will disappear.

On the scale of not good things to be doing, diligently paying taxes in a western country does more harm than any form of sex work.
100% agreed.
