Why is a teen magazine promoting prostitution to their 13-year-old readers??????????

Why Sex Work Is Real Work... https://www.teenvogue.com/story/why-sex-...ce=twitter&utm_brand=tv&mbid=social_twitter&utm_social-type=owned&utm_medium=social&utm_social-type=owned&mbid=social_twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_brand=tv

The absurdity of the argument is perfectly represented by the following excerpt...

I find it interesting that as a medical doctor, I exchange payment in the form of money with people to provide them with advice and treatment for sex-related problems; therapy for sexual performance, counseling and therapy for relationship problems, and treatment of sexually transmitted infection. Isn't this basically sex work? I do not believe it is right or just that people who exchange sexual services for money are criminalized and I am not for what I do.

If one reads the article, one would think being a prostitute is just an everyday job with no negative ramifications at all, except those who frame the argument via morality. The author fails to mention... sex workers are largely uneducated, become drug-addicts, are abused, and being infected with a sexually transmitted disease is extremely high for prostitutes according to the CDC.  https://www.redstate.com/brandon_morse/2...e-readers/

Exchanging service for money IS work.  The fact that there are risks doesn't change that.  Being a football player has a LOT of inherent risks, but I don't think anyone is going to say it's not "work".

Disgusting magazine.  To promote a vice which is moral turpitude, involves loss of self esteem and leads to health issues, is really unbelievable for a teen magazine.

No one said risks aren't present in every occupation.
The writer failed to mention any of the risks associated with sex work.
But, this writer also equates MDs providing medical services to prostitution and being a stripper.

Again, why is Teen Vogue promoting and glorifying a life of prostitution, stripping, starring in porn to their 13-year-old readers?

I agree, but I would never let my daughter subscribe to Teen Vogue, anyway.

Teen Vogue is an example of a society with no moral foundation.
