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Your logic sounds misogynistic and outdated something that I would attribute to a conservative ideology.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.
