The whores: Heroes of the 21st Century

We've heard a lot about whores lately. Prohibitions of France, regulationists, abolitionists. We fill our public debates with powerful words, and by the way, we distort our reality through a magical game. Again, some speak for others. In the meantime, things are the same. Why doesn't our society want to see whores?

I would like to propose an alternative play on words to answer this question. To do this, it will be necessary to link different social situations that are not linked. For this work, glasses composed of double standards must be removed from the eyes, and among others, the connections between sex workers and marriage must be understood.

In this game the whores will be the protagonists, at least we will put them on the site of our speech. This placement on the site, when we place them in the periphery and in the ideological marginalities, will lead us to see the role they play in the society. Connecting marriage and sex work is very easy. Until very recently, sex work was defined in marriage contracts. Romantic love these days fools many women. So strong is the deception that every day women come to give their lives, but does anyone advocate the abolition of marriage?

In contrast, sex workers, for the most part, voluntarily agree on the amounts of services. In addition, they are free from forced custody tasks that are associated with marriage. A lot of people sell worse things than sex work.

This will have to be joined by the segregation between whores and other women. Why are sex workers separated from women who have a marriage contract through total isolation? Men with the same contract, on the other hand, have every opportunity to reach whores.

What are the secrets that sex workers keep? The secrets of our placagizones, many like transvestites, a very high number wants to take it from the ass, others develop their sex life for money... I wouldn’t say that this should be harmful.

What I find harmful is stigmatization, our society severely punishes sex workers. It victimizes them and steals their voice. Here are some superheroes from the world of sex workers, some revolutionaries who survive: Virginie Despentes, Bea Espejo, Cristina Garaizabal, Itziar Ziga, Amaia Lasheras, Hetairak, L.I.C.I.T... search them on the Internet.
