Sex Worker Rights Music Video

[CatpurrRobertaBobbi]

Not buying it. Women and men who want to support sex as a way to make money are pimps. Its a dead end way of life. You will get hurt. We owe it to all women and male sex workers to let them know that they are worth more than just being a sex toy for someone. You may rent their body but you cant buy their soul.

I used this video in a speech I gave for legalizing prostitution in human sexuality a year ago and now I am going to use it in a speech for rhetoric and arguementation. You rock!!

This is a complicated issue that you raised and I wanted to write about it:

As you might know the spirit Courtney expresses is not uncommon. One could expect sex workers to always issue a disclaimer when they express this spirit, but for a number of reasons I don't think that is even the 'politically correct' approach.

[ScarlotHarlotTV]

We see much evidence that society uses the suffering within our industry as a weapon against sex workers, an excuse to further criminalize, and to shame us. At the same time society, cultures, countries, armies use prostitution against women (and men, young people etc) through forced prostitution, among other ways.

[ScarlotHarlotTV]

I think that there needs to be a space for sex workers to produce cultural expressions of these feelings without including disclaimers especially in light of the tendency of society to use our suffering against us. The image of someone forced into prostitution is used to obscure self-reliance, courage and a rejection of mainstream sexual stigmas. It's also important to discuss these abuses, to help people in need, and to improve conditions in these contexts.
