Sex Work And Prostitution: Compared To Other Forms Of Service Work
Number of pages:
20
ABSTRACT:
20 pages in length. That sex work and prostitution have been singled out from the fundamental standards of service work speaks to a combination of patriarchal and religious underpinnings. Indeed, the very nature of service work is to provide a valuable service to the paying party; whether or not that particular service proves useful to anyone but the recipient is not the question. Both sex work and prostitution have been commodified no differently than other forms of unwaged labor, however, the social stigma long attached to this particular type of service work changes one's conception for the worse. Attaching the word 'work' to pornography or prostitution only serves to confuse the already muddled attitudes about this way of living when, in fact, it is no different from myriad other forms of feminized labor. Bibliography lists 18 sources.
