Unpopular opinion: sex work is highly manipulative, but not in the way you expected. 

Women sex workers take advantage of a biological weakness of men, and manipulate them to give up their money, often for "work" that is insanely overvalued. It's basically equivalent to men taking advantage of women's weaker strength to force them to do something against their better judgement and will.

P.S. This post isn't intended as an argument against sex work of any kind, just more of a food for thought for anyone claiming that women are being exploited in the various sex work industries.
Also, it's just something that came to me like 5 minutes ago. Don't take it too seriously.

@alyx how do you manipulate someone into giving you cash? what is the "expected way" in which it is manipulative?

Do I really need to spell it out that they're taking advantage of your higher sex drive?

re: Unpopular opinion: sex work is highly manipulative, but not in the way you expected. 

@alyx the same way restaurants take advantage of your hunger. (not much at all.)

You do realize you don't actually need sex to live, right? Really bad comparison. Try again.

re: Unpopular opinion: sex work is highly manipulative, but not in the way you expected. 

@alyx you don't need to go to a restaurant to eat nor does hunger being necessary to live mean it's not taken advantage of within your frame. they're both voluntary exchanges where you know what you're getting.

You're still missing the point, but whatever.
