One more time: in a capitalist society, wage labor is often brutal, alienating, and dehumanizing. This is just as true of corporate lawyers and retail clerks as it is of sex workers. To single out sex work as a specific type of labor that is not "peachy keen" is divisive and unnecessary.
Slogan: Under capitalism, all workers get fucked. It's just more obvious with sex work!
