Do Women Have Such a Difficult Time Declining Offers for Prostitution, Modeling or Pornography Because-?
Question by Brand: Do women have such a difficult time declining offers for prostitution, modeling or pornography because-?
– women often times don’t have any other marketable skills? And these opportunities represent the best routes for women to make a good financial living even considering their limitations?
Note taken Deegu. I’m saying ‘often’ times, not ‘every time’, or ‘all-the-time’. And i’m also considering the entire world, including women in developing or struggling countries -where i’d assume it’d be difficult to disagree with me that many of those women don’t have any *marketable* (i.e. skills for which people within their own economy are willing to pay the women money in exchange) skills.
I’d be surprised if you didn’t know one person who could do his/her job damn well, but is still out of a job.”
-Ada, that’s what i’m hinting at. A person could be the greatest blacksmith of all time, however if noone is willing to pay them for that skill- then they have no ‘marketable’ skills. Btw, Asia Carrera is one person (who btw had an incredibly dysfunctional past along with her sizeable intellect). But yet still, I doubt she’d have gone into porn had someone offered to pay her millions a year for her intellect.

alex, ada, Deegu-
Prostitution, pornography, stripping, escorting etc.. are all occupations that are looked at negatively (on basis of morality and integrity) by most societies. Why then would millions of women even accept that negativity unless they were to gain more than they’d lose? (Either by their social esteem being so ‘low’ that they don’t care what society thinks of them. Or the value offered by prostitution being so ‘high’ that the women find the trade viable anyway.
The only reason women would take on such risk is because they don’t have ‘better’ options (‘better’ in regards to benefit/cost). These millions of women don’t have better options because they don’t have the power to create better options for themselves (e.g. socially tradeable skills more valuable than their sexuality). Very simple to understand.

Michelle J- (Hows it goin darlin’?)
No, I don’t think I’m contradicting myself by saying yesterday that there are more women only jobs than men’s only jobs, and then today that women have fewer marketable skills than men (as per generating money in an economy). Note that many of the ‘women’s only’ jobs I referred to often play on those same few marketable skills that women do have- namely sex, and plain ‘femininity’. Jobs like hostess, nanny, housekeeper, waitress, prostitute- all ask for a similar ideal: that being a (relatively) cheap, unskilled, ‘nurturing’, ‘feminine’ personal or public servant for hire/rent.

“women often times don’t have any other marketable skills”
Your generalization might be a bit extreme
Answer by ada1612
It depends on the circumstances, but overall no. Theres been pornstars in MENSA (Asia Carrerra). You can have plenty of marketable skills, but if the economy is in bad shape then it makes no difference. I’d be surprised if you didn’t know one person who could do his/her job damn well, but is still out of a job. I know a woman who has a masters in biology yet she was laid off and now works as a bartender. She shows some cleavage and makes good money to get her by. Its not what she wants to do. Other women are in worse situations (must feed families, have addictions) so they turn to prositution out of desperation. Its a dangerous job that often has severe mental repurcussions. Other women simply do it because it is easy money. Who are we to judge them as a whole? Why make irrational extrapolations about them as a group (like your assumption that they must have no skills)? And the main question: why does it upset you that somebody uses their sexuality for money anyway? Are you insecure about the unmarketability of your own sexuality?
