How many of you are former sex workers? Did it inform your decision to explore or commit to being 4B?
I was inspired to post this because I recently had a conversation with a former escort about how women in sex work* seem to have a more sober view of gender dynamics and men compared to other women, who are usually shocked to hear the stories coming from sex workers. We mainly discussed how "married, upstanding family men" act around women they consider even lower on the hierarchy and that their clients are not always the stereotypical "lonely drunk" type but average men you'd walk past the street or at your job. She isn't committed to 4B herself but jokingly said that any pro-sex work feminists who decry 4B as "too radical" should try working in a brothel for a month and see if avoiding men is so unreasonable after all.
*TBC I don't like the term "sex worker" because I associate it with the slimy way liberal feminists/pro-SW people sometimes use it. But "prostitute/escort" is a specific term and doesn't encompass camgirls or porn actresses, who deal with different dynamics and issues and whose perspective is also important.
