Right on, as always. I’ve never been married and I’ve always noticed that many married women do not recognize the privilege of having a husband as a breadwinner. It has been a struggle for me to make ends meet all of my adult life, especially with the struggles I’ve had with the gender wage gap. I cannot imagine doing this as a single mother. Even with the best jobs I had, I would not have been able to pay the bills with even ONE kid.
I have considered sex work as an option many, many times. Certain types, at least. The bills have got to be paid! And I am a feminist and would still be one if I did that.
I try to support everyone’s right to be feminist in their own way, but I struggle with women who call out sex workers as un-feminist. I think doing that is far more un-feminist.
As always, I’m glad you are speaking up about this. You have every right to have a seat at this table.
