It's interesting to me that we single out prostitutes as being
different than all other groups comprising the "Working Class". Sex
Workers are selling their services just the same as I and my wife do.
We sell to the State of Washington our expertise as Rehabilitation
Teachers. The Prostitute, or Sex Worker sells the use of their body
and their expertise in its use. By making it a degrading activity, we
have not helped solve the needs of those who become trapped in the
Field of Sex Work, and wish to get out. We are also demeaning toward
In Home Care Providers, waitstaff, sanitation workers and most other
menial workers. Do we really think that what we do is so damned more
important than the work other perform? Is the person who runs your
bank more important than the person who picked the food you will eat
for dinner? Or the person who unplugs your clogged toilet? Or the
person who sorts your mail? Just stop one job. say that of the mail
sorter, and after a month or two, ask yourself if the Banker is really
more important.
As long as we entertain these silly notions that our work is more
important, and that makes us more important, we will continue having
strife, and we will continue being angry and spreading hatred.
Respect for one another will promote love and peace. Can we bridge
the gap and get to such a place?
