Why, when women are struggling financially

[cero]

do people so often suggest Only Fans or selling intimate underthings to pervs, debasing her even further, and by extension, all of us by reinforcing the notion that we’re the sex class?

There are other ways to earn extra money ffs

OF is a pyramid scheme and most of the women earn a pittance. It's not the way to keep a roof over one's head.

I can see why people do it too. I just can’t see why anyone would suggest it to a parent already having a really shit time.

Gosh, I'm struggling financially but this has never been suggested to me

I don't see it as a common suggestion on MN. But actually, if my dc had no food in their tummies and I was absolutely fucked financially it would probably be a better option than having my dc removed by social services due to neglect.

My understanding is that while the top earners on OF do pretty well out of it, many more make bugger all while demeaning themselves.

I think it's quite ignorant to suggest to a stranger online, as you don't know their circumstances.

What if they've got kids of an age where their schoolmates might find it? What if they're not very good looking and unlikely to get enough money to justify the costs of running it? What if it's against their religion? What if amongst so much indignity when you're poor, they'd like to cling on to the little bit they'd lose by doing OF?

I don’t think anyone makes any money on only fans except people who already have a large social media following. A percentage of their followers will be willing to pay to see more.

If you’re a normal human I don’t think you get much money for putting intimate photos online.

Yes I thought it must be a pyramid scheme.. hence why they have to create the impression they make a lot of money in order to reel in the tier beneath them

This is certainly wrong and nobody should be giving such suggestions. Especially as sw does have, at least culturally, am element of debasement.

While sw is an option some women choose, it is a very personal choice, and come with much cultural and physical baggage. It should not be suggested as an option.

Here's the thing, if by sex class you mean the class of people sexually desired by the other class - that can only get it on the terms of the first class - then women are actually the 'sex class'.

It mystifies me when feminists have a problem with women being portrayed as the gatekeepers of sex, when they so clearly are.

Obviously there are many exceptions, but as a rule men have a (far) higher sex drive than women, which means women have the power in that regard.

Not really though. There are very few options for high pay for unskilled workers.

What sort of things? I didn't know there were lone men on there really..

Well i imagine gay men would be looking too. Men with good bodies, muscles a big 🍆 Would women have a subscription on there to ogle men??! Idk not something id do but each to their own i guess
