Have any of you ever worked customer service?? People act like you should be bowing at their feet. I remember when I worked as a customer service attendant, and a customer rushed me, yelling at me because her kid's bus was about to be at its stop. She was yelling at ME because she was gonna miss the bus!!!

And the coworkers there were gross and gossipy and horrible people. I was sexually harassed so much and no one did anything about it.

Most jobs are like this, too, so you can't just pick out one position and be like WOW IT MUST BE SO HORRIBLE.
Most jobs require co-workers or policies the employee doesn't like. Customer service can definitely be one of them.

I think the reason a lot of people look down on sex workers isn't just because they see it as demeaning but because they see it that way AND it requires very little skill. It's kinda like a social totem pole in my opinion. Those with high-paying AND well respected jobs are near the top (doctors would be a good example). And I think the criteria for the totem pole is a combination of education, experience, service to society (does it benefit society?), and pay scale. I'm sure there are others factors, but those seem to be main indicators to me of where someone falls on that totem pole solely based on their job.

So when you consider that sex workers are probably one of the more looked-down-upon jobs, I don't think it's very surprising. The money can be pretty good, but it requires no sort of education or credentials (Maybe you could argue being attractive for those hott enough to be in big-time magazines and porn productions) and no experience. I think the biggest factor is the service to society or lack thereof that sex workers provide. Most people would probably consider sex workers to have some of the lowest services to society. Helping a fat, bald 45 year old get off in his computer room really isn't seen as beneficial to anyone except for one individual for a few minutes. I also think society in general believes sex workers lack virtue. I think future consequences of the job (pics/videos) also leads people to question the intelligence or morals of sex workers.



Lots of generalizing of course

Since hermione claims to be a sex worker, do you consider yourself a prostitute?

I don't know why you say it like that, she claims...what reason has she given you that you would doubt it?

you don't even know though. If that 45 year old bald guy didn't get off in his computer room he might have gone out and raped some women.

Surely that is a benefit for society , helping to channel his sexual urges so he just doesn't act on them out in public and take what he can't get otherwise or get released in one way or another.

it's called thinking outside of the box, it's not like it will happen all the time but it COULD happen.

I completely agree with DJ actually. I mean it is ****ed up but is a reality. All that porn that has barely 18 year old girls dressing up like little schoolgirls, while being messed up and definitely wrong) does serve some purpose. I mean how many guys watch that instead of going out and harming a young girl? Im sure its been the case on more than one occasion.
