    Here’s a possibly-controversial take, but joining the army isn’t really even close to the best analogy for a male-dominated industry where you “sell your body”.

    Being a labourer is. Working in industries like construction, but not as a skilled tradesman. It doesn’t carry the same moral weight riley was going for though.

      True, but it’s not just about labor.

      To join the US military you have to literally sign over your bodily autonomy to join. Once you do then they can pump you full of experimental drugs, or run whatever other ungodly experiments, all they want. I know someone who considered joining then backed out when this allegedly happened.

      Anyway, never heard of Riley before but seems nice. Hope she supports our troops and offers military discount for her OnlyFans.

    What I hate with this is that is defines that the army itself is good or bad. But in reality it is what it is used for. If its actually used for defence, then it’s very honorable. When it’s used as a tool to exploit resources to the rich, (aka generally being the aggressor), it’s not.

      Even simpler than that. People trying to slot sex work/army/any job into “good/bad” columns aren’t worth your attention.

      Except for health insurance CEOs, those definitely bad.

        But war means more than sacrificing your body or personal reputation. War is giving up your whole personal conscience to fight for what the group believes is the most direct action in response to an event

      See, that’s an easy question to answer: Did you, or whoever, join the military while the US, or your country, was being attacked?

            Point 2 on your source: American forces liberated concentration camps including Buchenwald, Dora-Mittelbau, Flossenbürg, Dachau, and Mauthausen.

            They all helped. Your comment doesn’t invalidate mine.

                In that case I might respectfully suggest looking into an introductory course to logic if you’re at all interested. http://intrologic.stanford.edu/chapters/chapter_01.html

    I would never compare, being a sex worker is obviously incredibly more honorable

    But…saying that something is more honorable than something else is comparing them?

    EDIT: to be clear, her point is absolutely valid. This isn’t (to misquote a replier) “But I must find way for sex lady be dumb”. Her actual point is spot-on. This particular linguistic evolution just feels weird to me - feels like the new “literally”.

    How much Kool aid do you need to drink to think a soldiers job is “saving people”? Except for medics that’s pretty much the opposite of the point.

      According to my ex, who prides herself to be a social worker and a conflict solver, relationships are built solely on sex, not on interpersonal connections. But then again, she also thinks that you shouldn’t ever apologize because it shows a lack of self-esteem, called the police on her best friend because she was jealous of her hooking up while she didn’t and regularly posts “memes” about how terrible everyone else is on Facebook. Maybe she’s just a nutcase.

        What? How did you get any of that from what I said? Anybody can do anything with their lives, but I’m not wrong for choosing who can be part of my and my future children’s lives. Have you never thought of the consequences for a kid who’s mom has her pussy being fucked all over the Internet? Kids in school get shit from others for having attractive moms, literally that’s it. The amount of bullying a kid would get from others for having a wannabe pornstar mom could be detrimental.

      Just don’t impregnate e-whores… There’s plenty of women that don’t do this if that’s what you want. It’s their decision and their life. It has nothing to do with you at all.

        But isn’t saying that bad in the current culture? I couldn’t care less what people do for a living if it has nothing to do with me. But if I’m considering someone to be part of my life I don’t want them to have an only fans, past or present, and a lot of people act like that’s a terrible view to have.

    I’d compare sex work to sex work. War is war whether or not you want to include women or not. It just happens to be that most straight people prefer not to have unnecessary wars without personal benefit. If we created conscious war machines with their own minds, autonomy and conscience, then we would probably have trouble. Especially with all the anti-war memes and how peace loving myself and the vast majority of humanity is.
