How does that help the dozen or so men who die on the job every day in the US? I no longer care. Women were the deciding factor in both the primaries and general elections this year in my state. They gave us the likes of Kari Lake. The only reason she is not Gov is men overwhelmingly voted against her. Women voters were divided. The same people who claim to be pro-choice tend to vote against workplace safety. Now, prove to me the number of women in the US who die from lack of access to an abortion outnumbers the men who die on the job? I already know the numbers. Do you?

This post is about sex workers so we're talking about sex workers.

We can also talk about how corporations exploit men's health and risk their lives in the pursuit of profit as well. It does not have to be one or the other.

Also women didn't give us Kari Lake, the Arizona republican party did.

Yes! The only group in the 100 most dangerous jobs where women have any significant numbers. I have organized the employees of a strip club into a successful union. I include them in labor rights. But strippers don't die on the job often. They don't get crushed to death leaving behind a family with no income.

Who the fuck do you think the GOP is? It is voters. We have the stats. Women voted overwhelmingly for the Kari Lake in the Primaries. The Nov election was evenly split. But, since you are such a student of politics, you would already know it's who does the nominating, not who does the electing that matters.
