It’s always weird to me to watch amateur women freak out whenever some famous man is caught using his power, wealth, or influence to obtain the kind of sex he craves, despite the fact that men in such positions always, virtually without exception, use their power, wealth, or influence that way. Yet somehow, amateurs seem committed to the irrational and dubious belief that some individual man they find attractive or admirable will be an exception to the rule. The problem is that women who have never done sex work really never stop being naive about male sexuality. Sex work teaches you that male politicians, teachers, doctors, scientists, engineers, clergymen, writers, artists, sportsmen, musicians, accountants, etc, etc, are all rather uncivilized where sex is concerned. But there’s little point in our trying to explain it to them, because most amateur women absolutely refuse to admit that whoring might actually grant some desirable skills that it’s difficult or impossible to gain otherwise. Suggest that other female-dominated professions such as nursing or teaching might grant unique perspective, and they’re good with that view. But say it about dirty-bad-icky harlotry, and they won’t have it, because it would interfere with their ability to look down on us regardless of their own education or situation. And so they’ll keep failing to be on guard around men with power, and keep being surprised when they abuse that power in the way powerful men always do.
