What kind of job is it where people are just casually talking about hand jobs? At the very least, taken out if any context, a workplace where chit chat about who made whom come and by what means is normalized is likely also one where sexual harassment is completely acceptable.
I’m sure the point of the conversation was to reinforce the idea of power differential between their club and all others. Going to a business like that when you have just attended on police matters and they will recognize you is an inherent threat and the subtext is that an abusive relationship will be established or reinforced.
Imagine if a school teacher wraps up a parent teacher meeting by enquiring on matters in which the parent is in business. E.g. you have gone to see the teacher because your child is having a difficult time and the teacher immediately starts asking how much you would charge for graphic design or landscaping or if you’ll loan them money. Your business need not be illegal and there need not be anything intrinsically dicey about the transaction, but the context in which it takes place renders it unethical. And my example is significantly toned down, without any violence or anything.
I entirely agree and then some. I feel like my comment has been widely misconstrued as some measure of condonement, when it was just one on legality. I’ll reiterate that I’m not defending shit.
Also
Two cops admitting to crimes very clearly in front of their colleagues, on recorded video.
“We have investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing”
Not to defend any of this truly awful shit, but I didn’t think engaging in prostitution was a crime.

She is a fucking traitor who has worked with far right christian organizations to demonize sex work (https://hexbear.net/post/237975).

I agree with the article, I been saying what it says for decades. But I was only talking about the legality.
Not brothels, only independent sex work. Any sex work from a massage parlour with more than one worker is brothel work.
Ah, now I understand, thanks
In many places, it is not illegal to offer services, but it is still illegal to solicit them.
It is unless in Vegas AFAIK.
