"Safe" and "Privileged"? High Class Prostitution Harms Women


Listen Later

In today's livestream, Elly Arrow discusses why so-called "high-class" prostitution is not so different in terms of risks to women's well-being as other forms of sexual exploitation. She goes into some of the psychology of the "expensive" buyer and how women in the sector have fared at the hands of such men. This also reckons with victim-blamers who label traumatized "high-class" women as "professional failures" and abolitionists who frequently label them "patriarchal collaborators" and "traitors".
