Today, women and feminists from all over the eastern region of the world still fight for equality in terms of gender policy, wages and social status. However, some of them contradict their values about what women can and cannot do.
There is no single type of feminism - believe it or not. Orientation has different branches that can dominate the way a woman should think, work and live.
Two subdivisions are known to be in conflict with each other: Liberal collective feminism and feminism of choice.
Liberal collective feminism throws itself into the way we should not act on our own instincts, and any decision they make in their lives can affect the standards and overall image of other women. The choice of feminism is reflected only on the standards and well-being of the individual. Some of the phrases I can think of are
"I choose to do this, because that's what I want to do."
Or "I think so, because it sets me free."
Furthermore, this may refer to women who assume the role of escorts, porn stars, etc. and feel liberated while working in the sex business.
While the radical rules of some religious beliefs are not embedded in our thinking today, we do not feel ashamed when we commit fornication with another man ... or woman ... no matter in which direction. As the religious stigma began to fade, so did the social stigma of wretched men and women.
I'll tell you an anecdote. One of my ex-best friends studied law and, as a part-time job, to make some spare money, he made video chat. He earned around 600-800 Euros per week. Besides, she told me that she doesn't just do it for a good source of income, but she feels good about showing her sexy ass on the screen.
Comparison between porn and Hollywood
For some women who are curious to learn and experience the professional life of an escort or a pornstar, this may seem quite daunting. This is mainly due to the reputation that the sex industry has been interpreted in certain parts of society, which regards the whole system as rubbish.
However, there are many women who have worked in business for at least 2-3 years and have received positive results from showing off their shiny bodies.
Adult movie star Stoya mentioned in previous interviews that she has received several lead roles in porn productions, rather than in Hollywood or independent films. Her goal right now is to try to make the industry more open to women and add new ideas to broaden the creativity of pornography.
Now, compare the commercial lifestyle of Hollywood or fashion with the nature of porn and escort.
In Hollywood, you have to look for a certain way to please producers or directors. You need to have a suitable hairstyle or a certain type of waist measurement that satisfies what is trending in today's world. Fashion is stricter, especially Haute Couture. You need to be able to wear a pair of jeans that can hold a 5 year old and have horizontal tits like a flat line on the heart monitor screen.
I may become tangent here, but I feel it is a crucial point. Even if the fashion and modeling industry opens its doors to more diverse women, they must still remain within the standards in which their bosses want to work.
Therefore, if you put on or lose an inch of your hips, your contract will be terminated.
In porn and escort, the door is open for all shapes, sizes and races. Why is that? Because there is always a kind of preference that will float someone's boat. The amount of sections you find on adult websites have different amounts of fetishes or styles that suit everyone’s ideals. You can be the size of a truck, and men will still pay you to be fucked by them. There is always something for everyone.
This leads to the notion that women or men in general should not feel shit about or act in a certain way. It goes back to the point I mentioned earlier. Many women, not all, but many, feel good about the way they look and what they do when they get involved in the sex industry.
Thus, feminism of choice helps women not to feel that their integrity is in danger.
When there is a top, there is a bottom
However, with whatever work you do, you will get the pros and cons.
I could rustle some feathers here or make people walk "right?" ... But because there are many people who are against sex work. I will use one of my favorite porn stars, which was the highlight of this topic: Sasha Gray.
I don't want to go into details, but I know that the socialist has done MANY things in his previous videos. She started at the age of 18 and left the porn industry at the age of 23, concluding in her statement that "her time as a porn star has expired." After filming her on the TV show "Entourage", she decided to leave work for adults, and continues her new career in media and entertainment.
Maybe her role in the show, where she played like herself, made her form a rhetorical question if she could have a relationship if she continued to be a pornstar. Depending on how you view it, sex work is work, and sometimes work can affect your personal life in a negative way. In reality, there are still sex workers stigmatized by their colleagues and others.
Many blogs and articles have been written about leaving the industry, because he realized that the ethics behind sex work refer to consensual degradation and sexual objectification. Just to inform you, one of the blogs from which I read one of the articles is called "Liberation Collective" ...
Gray's mandate to be a movie star has changed over the years, she just felt that double penetration on the set no longer satisfies her. The reformed DJ / actress left the industry because she thought it was what she had to do for EA. Not because it goes with the crowd of "any kind of sex work will play you out." Otherwise, she would not have chosen to start working in business at the beginning.
Personal note: I think that women today should come to the conclusion that they have control over their own mind, body and soul. They should not fall under the pressure of fellow clickers, where a single set of standards follows, and if something is in conflict, they are ostracized or turned into scapegoats to show the world how they are damaging their unique system.
See what I mean by the conflict between choice and collective feminism?
Shooting gentlemen
If a woman chooses to take part in sex work, why should she be convicted for taking advantage of it?
An escort would receive many private calls and messages from her clients, she could set a date that can range from a coffee with someone or a meal while she is being paid. A lot of women would think, “It's so cute! Getting financial and sexual satisfaction at the same time is like a dream come true. ”
The escorts are the ones who take care of the ropes, and she ends up choosing what kind of services she wants to offer them. Similar aspects are found in porn companies. What many producers are doing now is asking porn stars what they are and what they would not do on set. People who do not do any detailed research on the sex industry miss that respect is always considered between business and employee.
In general, you will always have an argument when it comes to women working in the adult business and how it is morally wrong. However, you cannot deny that the sex worker population is growing every year and not because it is a last resort for them.
I think that if we give up the taboo of sex work, which has been incorporated into our social thinking for decades, it would not be a very sensitive article to write about. Having said that, I open my doors to all kinds of discussions, whether for or against pornography and escorts, but I am a woman with my own opinions on this subject and I am all in favor of personal liberation.
