The latest release of Epstein files has further laid bare what most of us already know, that powerful men exploit vulnerable women.
Not intending to cast aside the minors who were abused by these men, but being that there were also many women who were over the age of consent, I'm curious as to why pro-sex worker advocates haven't come out in defense of the men implicated in the Epstein files. I mean after all, they're all allegedly consenting adults, right?
Where are the pro-prostitution advocates who would simply label these activities as sex work? A woman is offered the opportunity to sell her body to a man, she accepts, what's the harm, right? No different than a desk job? I mean, could it be that Epstein and his ilk truly show the depths of danger and depravity that occurs when men believe they should have free rein over women's bodies? And that women who are coerced (or forced) into such situations are actually at risk of being abused and exploited, not "empowered?"
Would love to hear statements from sex worker advocates on all this.
