What I hear you saying is that, even though it has been demonstrated that sex work CAN have positive implications, even those people should not do it because other people are oppressed?
I'm currently watching re-runs of the only 'reality' show I can watch: America's Next Top Model. I really don't see a big difference between 'legit' modeling and sex work. In both you are objectivified and potentially treated like meat. In both you will potentially work nude but in one you show your genitals and one you don't.
I don't see a huge difference.
And I really disagree that stripping is 'reducing yourself to genitals'. When I go to a club, I want to have a woman (girl, actually--but that is another aspect) entertain me. And yes, a part of that is lookin' at genitals but that is only a part.
