the capitalist logic of housework =/= work can also be extended to sex work, where this form of labour is also devalued (even if it is waged, precarity is still dominant for many SWs). the idea of workers in struggle must extend to sex workers as well, not just women in the household. in fact, SWs themselves often ARE also women to have to juggle domestic labour. they are all intersecting

The idea of an empowered sex worker isn't universal --> can't force down the rhetoric that all sex workers are empowered by their work especially when you have to consider prevailing social conditions and intersections at play
