“Money buys protection. It buys time off and privacy. And it buys nice, pretty shit. Money also buys food, housing, and health care. Getting paid enough to meet our needs—and more—feels good. I’m not romanticizing the sex industry, I know it has risks; I’m just not going to romanticize economic deprivation in the name of being a “good girl,” either. So do sex workers feel pleasure at work? Yeah. Because you know what feels amazing? Surviving capitalism.” MoneyEconomyFeminismCapitalismSex WorkSexworking Book:Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good Source: Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good
“Women and femmes who love money are free to be demanding. The world has tried to fool them into thinking that getting paid for care or sex “cheapens” it. Please. You know what’s “cheap”? When men think they’re entitled to free and unlimited care, attention, and sex. That’s cheap.” SexCapitalismSexworkingSexwork Book:Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good Source: Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good
