One thought on “Sex workers talk about their most expensive service: companionship.

  1. Very interesting. In so many ways there are examples of the price paid for being the “human doing”. From Warren Farrell to Norah Vincent to “Girl Writes What” constantly there are observations that males in our society have value for what they do not who they are. This makes it clear https://geediting.com/gen-bt-i-spent-forty-three-years-being-the-person-everyone-could-count-on-showing-up-early-staying-late-covering-shifts-lending-money-i-couldnt-spare-and-the-toughest-lesson-came-at-61-when-i-needed-h/ one can see how this results in the “loneliness epidemic” for individuals and at a societal level the belief that men will still carry on doing no matter what barriers are put in their way or insults aimed at them. And feminist’s constant refrain that women need help in every conceivable way, want it delivered reliably and without any reciprocity or even acknowledged. So much from the glass cellar to exploring space,building and running a modern world, relies on human doings, doing stuff. Doing it competently, reliably and these days pretty invisibly. And then finding a world that can’t have a minister for men and boys, can’t screen for prostate cancer, can’t have just trials, can’t have help in reading, can’t focus on suicide prevention and so on and on because that might “distract” from the people who really count, women and girls.

    If course boys overwhelmingly support “gender equality” because in their innocence they believe it means they too are “seen” and they too are valuable. And of course they become disillusioned as they repeatedly see that that is not what is on offer. Rather to make females “feel safe”, to be reliable so others can have choices and “meltdowns, to provide for themselves and others (even if the child isn’t theirs or their partner rejects them), to respect others when disrespected constantly, meet others needs and not ask for their own to be met. In short to be a human doing rather than valued as a human being.

    And men sometimes have to pay just to be seen.
