"The idea that sex workers forfeit any right to assert consent or to be angered when the consent of other women is violated perpetuates the myth that sex workers are inherently morally compromised, or interested so single-mindedly on earning a profit from sexual services that she gives up her right to assert boundaries, agency, and solidarity with those whose consent is disregarded.

I am disheartened and repulsed by the pernicious idea that sex workers are convenient receptacles for the world’s predatory men, eager and able to absorb whatever predilection comes their way, so long as the price is right. Zeroing in on the allegedly anomalous sexual act that Louis CK performed is to lose sight of the criminal act he inflicted on the women who were present for this violation. Believing that sex workers can serve as a Band-Aid for the gaping wound created by masculine sexual entitlement is an avoidance tactic that won’t shield anyone but predators.

Sex workers are not a life hack. They are human beings who have every right to choose what sexual acts they will perform, whom they will perform them with, and under what circumstances. That there exist so many who would deny them these basic acknowledgments is a sicker joke than any of the ones I’ve heard about dead hookers."
