Nope, not if sex "work" is the only field that does so! Like I said, it reflects what we as a society value in women, and the consequences of that value system redound to all women, not just the prostituted ones. |
First of all, some individuals choose to work in the sex trade. They are not "prostituted". This all seems fairly demeaning towards those women who utilize their agency to make that choice. What exactly is your take on the individuals who seek these positions of their own volition?
Could you argue that there are sexist issues within what society considers to be "valuable" work? Sure, but I don't really think the sex trade is a good example of that. It is the desire for sex which causes female pay to inflate within these positions, not a sort of reflection of what we believe to be a woman's "true worth". You'll have to put forth a lot more evidence if you wish to make an argument for that...
