To think there are jobs in the world which no human being should be doing?

Abattoir workers
Online child sex abuse investigators
Are 2 in particular that spring to mind. They require people to become numb to pain and suffering.
In anticipation of snarky replies: no, I don't know how else they should be done and yes, I know there's always been pain and suffering. It's at an industrial scale now though.
Maybe it takes a certain kind of human to do it, which is worrying in itself.

If you think it's normal or healthy for someone to use their partner (or anyone) as a masturbatory aid then that's just depressing.

The myth of the happy hooker. There's a site (can't remember the name) where men write ratings and reviews of sex workers. The stuff that's written there is abhorrent and degrading. They literally see the women as meat with holes. Then they view all women the same way. All women and girls end up paying for it one way or another.

Oh really I've got no issues with my job...any one who is forced ( into any industry) is an entirely different matter (and also disqualifies it from being a 'job').

The people who run health insurance companies abusing their workers by telling them who to turn down for payment. Same goes for veterinary insurance. People having to choose between buying food or paying for a treatment. People losing their homes in the US etc.

It is funny seeing abattoir workers branded wholesale as psychopaths.

That's a lot of psychopaths.

Clearly no one here was ever from a small town where the meat works was one of the major sources of employment.

Out of touch doesn't really cover it.

🙄 Oh no, my partner and I purely have sexual intercourse as a way of expressing our deep love for each other and for making babies... Any sexual pleasure is unintentional. 🙄

Surely insurance has rules and limits that people know about when they sign up for it. They can't pay for everything.

Of course, but there are sharp practices that go on and things aren't always cut and dried.

Example: my cat had cystitis and I took her to the vets who gave antibiotics and the problem subsided for a week then returned. Because I couldn't get an appointment within the two weeks required for a return visit by the insurance company, they wouldn't class it as a return of the problem and wouldn't pay even though it was absolutely a return. They got out of it on a technicality. Luckily it didn't work out as an expensive problem, but imagine if it was a human and it was a significant cost. This is why US Healthcare Insurance has such a terrible reputation. Inhaler for $600? The young patient needing this died by the way.

You can experience sexual pleasure without objectifying and dehumanising someone. But whatever helps you sleep at night!

Great....so we agree!

Interesting reading comprehension (or lack thereof)

Anybody involved in animal testing.
Pretty sure nobody needs to be doing that in this day and age.

For medical purposes?

Cleaning ships engine room bilges takes a lot of beating if you want a really nasty job

Confined space full of a mix of dirty oil and water

That or going into boiler's to mend or inspect them

”A certain type of human” that is “worrying in itself”?

Sorry, but that’s a really fucking offensive thing to say. People do utterly horrible jobs because they’re necessary and keep people fed and children safe, and you decide that makes them “a type of human that is worrying in itself”?

Maybe be a bit more grateful, rather than implying they’re fucked in the head.

I think you quickly need to wise up on your pollyanna view of prostitution.

Are people not allowed to have concerns for others in the UK? Or does everything have to be compared to Africa, India etc?

Celebrating women having the freedom to become prostitutes is nothing to be proud of and is one shitty form of feminism.

So how do you feel about the animals killed in the harvesting of crops? You surely don’t think that huge harvesting machines stop and wait if a mouse or bird gets in the way? They get churned up with the crops.

Whatever they do in Scotland I guess. No bailiffs here.

They’re basically the same thing jsut with a different name (sheriff officers)

Why can't you buy consent? Surely in many professions consent is sold, a boxer consents to being violently hit for money and that's ok, a member of the armed forces consents to killing or being killed for money and we call them heroes. So why can't a woman choose to sell her consent to her own body in your opinion?

I suppose a lot of it's because the engagement isn't equal. Men aren't very often harmed physically,.mentally or emotionally through using prostitutes. The prostitutes often are.

Even those who enter into it willingly often say they have difficulty forming personal relationships with men afterwards and it negatively affects their view of men in general.

Off topic, but I’ve seen a picture of Baldrick captioned “Baldrick receives the news that he is to become a rent boy, believing it to be a promotion to a junior bailiff”.

Why are you bending over backwards to say that it's fine for women to be prostitutes? It's not Pretty Woman you know. It's mostly rough and degrading, with men thinking they can do anything to the woman because they've paid for it. It's not going to be respectful men who go looking for a prostitute, not caring if she's trafficked or being pimped out by some other violent waste of skin. Would you be OK doing it? Knowing that you run the risk every single time of being attacked in some way. Having 10 men in an evening, one after another and the physical and emotional toll that will take on you.
