In the era of history when we were doing our hardest as a culture to repress women, sex work represented a path to economic independence that most women could travel - so of course we demonized the shit out of it and those who chose to do it.
That's why being anti-porn is so heavily associated with being conservative. It's all tied up with the idea of controlling women's bodies and forcing them into a subservient role.
But this it doesn't just go in one direction - the sex and porn industries in the modern world represent a different kind of control over women's bodies than a pastor preaching about abstinence, but it is a form of control nonetheless.
So that's why I think being blindly pro sex work is bad too, because you end up supporting a certain group of capitalists who profit off of the exploitation of poor women.
The synthesis of this dialectic is to destroy the porn industry and nationalize OnlyFans.
