minus-square@unfreeradical@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish4•edit-22 years agoI agree, but I for one am not enamored with the idiom of selling one’s body.
minus-square@Sklrtle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink19•2 years agoThat’s the point, isn’t it? If the term wasn’t specifically coined for this, it’s been long used to shame sex workers. Which is sort of funny, considering all labor involves selling your body in some form or another.
minus-square@unfreeradical@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-22 years agoI am not following your explanation. The phrasing is extremely unclear. The idiom is at least somewhat derisive, both historically and intrinsically.
minus-square@edgemaster72@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink11•2 years agoYeah, it’s probably more akin to a rental or timeshare setup (or so I’ve heard).
minus-square@unfreeradical@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-22 years agoIt would be a more direct and accurate metaphor, though of course still potentially stigmatizing for the same reasons. Unfortunately, others are often unwilling to engage thoughtfully or sensibly. They lurk on the shadows, ready to pounce on a straw man, in order that they may claim they slew Goliath. Their tactics are successful in the same way as clickbait.
