Sex workers "rights"?
Okay, I’ll bite: What is it about sex workers that makes you think they’ve got no rights?
I find it best to not feed the troll.
I actually thought it would get less creepy.
What are their "rights", and by whom or where were/are they conferred?
You’ve heard of ‘rights’ before. They are described in some of our most important documents. Note, though, that they are not ‘given’ by, say, the U.S. Constitution or the Universal Declaration. We all have these rights, they are simply listed in these core documents.
I’m more interested in why you seem to believe that sex workers forfeit their rights. Why, do you suppose, is that?
I don't care what your "interested in". Try to be specific about documented "sex workers rights".
More specific, you mean, than the Universal Declaration of Human Rights I linked for you?
Yep,........... specifically where "sex workers rights" are enumerated. Of course we can go from there to who, what precisely is a "sex worker", writer, performer, participant, model, spouse, ad infinitum.
Are we not even on the same page about sex workers being human beings?
Where are "sex workers rights" enumerated? Homo sapiens in general, are not the subject.....Your getting off track,......as usual.
" Note, though, that they are not ‘given’ by, say, the U.S. Constitution or the Universal Declaration."......... LOL........only those?
