"The real message of anti–sex work feminists is, It’s the women working against sex work who are the real hard workers, shattering glass ceilings and elevating womanhood, while the tramps loll about down below. As political theorist Kathi Weeks notes, to call a woman a tramp is to judge the value of a woman’s sexuality and labor. Every tramp, she writes in The Problem with Work, is ‘a potentially dangerous figure that could, unless successfully othered, call into question the supposedly indisputable benefits of work’—and home and family, and women’s commitment to all of it.” — Excerpted at The Nation
