#this article is so thought provoking. 'listen to sex workers' okay but the sex workers are hating on jakey.#realised why this article feels so refreshing to me#andi think its many things including the polyvocality#but it also just. doesnt bring desire into the equation at all#let alone attraction. the conflation of which with desire is already a huge problem when talking abt women#but like atp feminism has like failed to know what to do w the concept of desire#as a result this article doesnt really have any room for lesbians (unless they r selling sex to men) but its interviews w sex workers so#i both get why it doesnt and yet it feels like a very pressing absence.#really interesting 4 the ppl where it took being paid for sex to realise that men dont really have anything to offer them#and to just like..de-exceptionalise the concept of male desire#as like an addendum to 2nd wave criticism of romance. like if you conceive of sex as something worth money#what are you actually recieving in exchange for it in a 'romance'
