Truly thought provoking and empowering. Thank you for another excellent essay about the nuances of protecting and uplifting stigmatized feminized labour. I appreciate your honest and academic approach to lifting the veil of sex work - without any of the usual sensationalism associated with traditionally taboo topics.
This is an incredibly rigorous breakdown. As a social scientist (and only considering one aspect of issue) I totally see that forcing any sector into the shadow economy creates a massive market failure. Especially critical n this case, where all the systemic risks are absorbed entirely by the workers. Hence, both efficiency and equity strands of arguments in related literature can and should be used in support of your article.
Strong voices are indeed needed to highlight this issue and improve protections in legal statutes. Thanks for sharing!
This is a great primer. I love how much you pack into such a short space. I think especially helpful for civilians who have been seduced by SWERF narratives around sex work activism. Ty for writing
This is excellent. I think you would really like @Füsun Aydin’s Substack and also @Diyana Vasileva. They are sex workers in Amsterdam who write about their work and lives, and the labor issues that sex workers face.
Wow, thank you so much!! I had no idea! Also, I'm from Montreal, and had a couple of friends who were strippers in our younger days. Will go see how the strike went.
