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.

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.

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".

I don't sell my body because nobody wants it.

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.

saw this one recently, old school shamers have no chance these days, just pack it up bro

thank you for your service 🤝

Grabs popcorn, sorts by top, scrolls to bottom.

If you work for a living, you're a prostitute - you're selling your physical and mental health just to survive no different than sex workers.

The term prostitute literally translates to "to offer up for sale" - and, guess what, that pretty much describes the entire working class.

I hope she makes tons of money.

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.

I don't think I'll ever understand why women who choose to enter the sex trade are demonised. It's a job, some enjoy it and some don't, but everyone enjoys getting paid. Though the comparison between people who rent their bodies (sex workers do get to keep their own bodies after work) and people who gamble their bodies (soldiers don't always get to come home as part of the job) is a little off.

Do what you want to do with your body, but don't be upset when I don't want to associate with you and educate people about what you do for a living.

What's so bad about not wanting the mother of your children getting fucked all over the Internet?

Neither of them are respectable

Lotta stupid discussions on the internet

Oh, well, hello fellow sophisticants. Sorry, I was referring to someone else.
