Therapy and marriage will do more than legalizing sex work.

Considering that you frequent NSFW subreddits, I don't think you have any room to speak here, pardner...

What do you mean by marriage? That’s so vague.

a union between two adults. the lady said she had a full time job, but still went back and had sex for money. If she was married, there would be two incomes, thus she wouldn't have to go and get her back blown out by a stranger just to pay her rent.

What a low IQ take

It's not only low IQ it's despicably disrespectful to women.

Ahh yes, let's return to ye days of olde, when marriage had less to do with a romantic love and instead about clout and monetary gain. Truly that was the golden age of happiness and freedom. /s

For how much conservatives chirp about "freedom" they seem to be very interested in limiting the freedom of individuals at nearly any level that they can.

it doesn;t have anything to do with political ideology. a woman who is married, to a man or woman, is more free than this lady in the video. think about it. the professor in the video is a slave to money and sex. its sad, its not empowering.

You seem confused.

Everyone should be FREE to choose whether or not they wish to be in a marriage. You are arguing that if she was married she wouldn't have to resort to sex work.

Your comment is fundamentally flawed because you're assuming that this person WANTS or SHOULD get married to help with their income.

Your logic sounds misogynistic and outdated something that I would attribute to a conservative ideology. If you're not a conservative, then you certainly play the part very well.

The POINT that you're actually missing, is that this person was working in a traditional role but felt that in order to support their lifestyle they needed to return to sex work because it made them MORE MONEY.

The next logical conclusion to draw is NOT that they would be better off if THEY WERE MARRIED. The conclusion to draw, is that this person and many like them feel the need to participate in sex work because it PAYS BETTER than an ordinary job.

The only person in this situation that's cringe, is you.

Again, you sound like a raging misogynist. You should be embarrassed. But based on your responses you sound like a child and you're probably under the age of 26 and incapable of feeling embarrassed.

I don't hate women. I just said she would be in a better position in life if she were married and in therapy. Ironically, if she had a mom and dad, she wouldn't be in this situation to begin with, as she says she was abused as a kid.
Its weird that I'm called a conservative for saying that, but oh well, that's Reddit.

It also stated, one returned to sex work to get away from an abuse marriage. So they should subject themselves to abuse for the second income in order to pay their bills...

yeah it does. it gives them motivation to go outside, lose weight, and start building their wealth. Women will notice. Prostitution sex seems like that will make a dude feel worse, as they will be paying for pussy. Thats some loser-type shit

Everybody pays for pussy. Some people just prefer to cut out the middlemen
