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.
- ikiru ( @ikiru@lemmy.ml ) 26•8 months ago
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.
- Coasting0942 ( @Coasting0942@reddthat.com ) English13•8 months ago
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.

The only thing that can stop a bad health insurance CEO is a good health insurance CEO.

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?
- scubbo ( @scubbo@lemmy.ml ) 28•8 months ago
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”.
- helenslunch ( @helenslunch@feddit.nl ) 4•8 months ago
Its called an analogy bud. It doesn’t mean the two things are identical, it means they share similarities. Usually, a specific one. In this case, “selling your body”.
- doggle ( @doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 23•8 months ago
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.

Found out my work is getting a new chemical. The chemical is so volatile that if it splashes on you, it will potentially burn you into nothing.
I am fodder for the machines of industry.

Sex workers are the original social workers.
- Karyoplasma ( @Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de ) 2•8 months ago
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.
- fossilesque ( @fossilesque@mander.xyz ) English6•8 months ago
That may just be her, and I kinda feel bad for her. That sounds like a lot of maladjustment and projection. My friends say they had some regulars who’d start the sessions telling them about their lives and showing them pictures of their kids. Touch and validation can be a form of medicine. Everyone needs to feel wanted. We are social creatures. Incels are one example of those starved from such things.

What’s so bad about not wanting the mother of your children getting fucked all over the Internet?
- DessertStorms ( @DessertStorms@kbin.social ) 23•8 months ago
What’s wrong is framing another human being entirely by how they serve you, and what they can or can’t do, possibly before they ever meat you, by how it makes you feel 🤮
- CaptnNMorgan ( @CaptnNMorgan@reddthat.com ) 3•8 months ago
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.
- CaptnNMorgan ( @CaptnNMorgan@reddthat.com ) 3•8 months ago
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.
- lightnsfw ( @lightnsfw@reddthat.com ) 9•8 months ago
No, you can disqualify partners for whatever you want. Anyone can. It’s all personal preference. Just don’t be an asshole about it.

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.

We live in a free society. Nobody is telling her she cannot work. She’s just mad cause nobody respects her because she has no dignity left.
