#but even if you're pro sex work you have to concede that medieval prostitution was hell

[alsethwisson]

Funny, how grrm is able to understand the problematic nature of the sex trade - the inherent consent issues, the inherent power imbalance, the trauma etc - when it comes to MALE sex workers... but not female.

With women it’s always about happiest of the mythical “happy hookers”, including special (black, huh) nation of dedicated sex addicts who for some reason mistake prostitution for free love.

I mean, pretending to enjoy involuntary sex act for money is kinda furthest from what god of pleasure would like, but of course Summer Islanders are all into sex work and sell themselves into brothels for fun and profit. Otherwise grrm would have had to notice that women may’ve been far from happy to service his male characters.
