This made me wonder about something- how much of anti-swer sentiment is about the general lack of solidarity in these dumpsterfirestates of america.

Ex: The last transit strike in NYC. Transit workers went out on strike in the winter because the MTA wanted them to give up (cont) https://twitter.com/dejadollz/status/1303351820027334657
benefits for future hires. TWU stood firm, not wanting future members to have to pay more for health benefits. It was smart organizing and solidarity for them to fight back.

Some of the people of NYC appreciated that solidarity!
Others, when interviewed, said 2/x
"why are they striking? Listen, I have to pay for MY health insurance, why should they be any different?"

Not- we should all strike. But I suffer, so you should suffer too?

I think that's a very US perspective. Not solely, but largely.
So I wonder, for Americans, how much of their anti sw sentiment about perception of SW as "easy" and wishing they had the flexibility that SW gives some SWers.

Obviously, there's a lot more to it (puritan bullshit, misogeny, being mad that marginalized folks can actually (4/x)
make a decent living) but I wonder if this is a piece of the sentiment here- and in other countries where there is more solidarity, if that's a factor or no?

Anyway, sex work is work, solidarity forever, and if this thread is out of line say so and i'll cheefully delete it
