OK now, maybe laundry and child care is best left to the ladies.. but must you call prostitution “women’s work?” You’re only discouraging young men from going into this line of work. ;p
*dies laughing* @ both Julie and Mama
i feel a little confused about this comic, too. current thoughts of sex workers is less about degradation and prudishness and more about workers’ rights, opportunity, exploitation and legal protections – sex workers get the brunt of the arrests, not pimps and johns, etc. my own views are conflicted.
and is mothering/parenting getting lumped in with sex work? im confused. maybe i just need to stick in through the end of the series. i blame this killer head cold i have.
too funny.

Awesome.
This falls under my list of things I will not delagate in my life – being a mom and being a wife. Two very important jobs that require my full attention and all of my skills
Lisa – wife and mother to 3 great kids
didn’t Betty Friedan call marriage legalized prostitution?
now that’s just funny!
lmao…
In Montreal, the (female) sex workers have a union. It’s called Stella (named after a famously cultured stripper who held a conversation salon in her apartment after working hours.)
At any rate, the members include prostitutes, strippers, escorts, masseuses, etc. They do not believe that their work is degrading. And they certainly expect to be paid for it.
Of course the point in this comic seems to be that the feminist “establishment” doesn’t respect certain types of work – child care, sex work, etc. And that is true. But just as some commentators here have pointed out that child care isn’t necessarily ‘good’, sex work is not necessarily ‘bad’.
Hi Ms. Krieger and all,
thanks for the information about the sex workers union, that’s awesome. This part of the series was a little obtuse, another example of the need to simplify and go for the joke. I went for the prostitution joke, knowing that the situation with sex work is far more complicated than my little one page comic could get into! Thanks for clarifying, posting, and giving me the benefit of the doubt. I’ll just say, Yes, I agree.
xox,
Heather
