Moody doesn’t seem to care about the abuse or victims that is rampant in the industry, she just wants to get paid.

If you can get paid reliably then abusers have less leverage in the first place. I've been friends with a lot of sex workers and their #1 gripe is that prohibitionist types create the conditions for abuse.

  A lot of the people being mentioned as abused aren't sex workers and do not want to be sex workers. They don't want to be paid for or involved in sex work.

    My argument is that the criminalization of sex work is what incentivizes abusive people to set up criminal enterprises around it.

Most people wouldn't be happy to give up a large percentage of their income to help someone they didn't know. If they were then charity donations would be a lot higher than they are.

Few seem to care enough about the abuse that exists in Hollywood and in tech, so why the hullabaloo over sex work? Oh, yeah - sexism against women because they're not supposed to be sexual.

Not getting paid for your work is a form of abuse. None of us can solve all the world's ills and most of us focus on things that hit close to home. Think of all the foundations that have been created because some wealthy celebrity (or a relative of theirs) had a particular medical condition. Michael J.

  > Think of all the foundations that have been created because some wealthy celebrity (or a relative of theirs) had a particular medical condition. > Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research This is a tangent, but I remember a minor news item of Michael J. Fox appearing in an ad soliciting donations for Parkinson's research, Rush Limbaugh (maybe?) criticizing him for "exaggerating his symptoms" in the ad, and then Jon Stewart (definitely) lambasting the criticism on the Daily Show, something along the lines of "How DARE Michael J. Fox appear in an ad trying to fund research into the crippling disease that Michael J. Fox has?!?" I've been trying to find a clip of that, if anyone knows where to look?
