Escort Girls
People who are affected by prostitution may not always see themselves as victims or survivors. Many individuals view themselves more objectively. An investigation on Miami’s 294 prostitutes found that almost all of them “prefer the labels escort girls and working women and refer to themselves as such.” Regardless of how women identify themselves, authors who take an extremely radical feminist perspective oppose the idea that prostitution qualifies as “sex labour” since doing so could legalize prostitution.
Just the proverbial “tip of an iceberg” floating in a deeper theoretical quagmire, these problems. Any acceptable definition of radical feminism states that the extreme version used as the basis for these studies is a false notion. An empirically testable scientific hypothesis is one whose premises can be proven to be true or untrue. Unfortunately, very few of the radical feminism’s claims about prostitution can be independently verified or debunked. These assertions are presented as undeniable universal truths. The cliches that customers are predators, prostitution is rewarded rape, or, as one individual put it, “when males utilise women in prostitution, they are expressing a genuine loathing for the female body”. I’m not the only person to raise these questions. Gayle Rubin claims that there are many “sloppy definitions, unsupported assertions, and absurd allegations” in the radical feminist literature on prostitution and pornography. The “worst accessible instances” and the most upsetting abuse incidents are those that these authors pick and present as indicative. Anecdotes are commonly used as irrefutable evidence while ignoring contrary information. This particular body of literature does not meet the majority of the standards for meaningful, serious, methodical, scientific thought. Rubin, Goode, and others are particularly concerned by Dworkin and MacKinnon’s views, but their criticisms apply to many other authors who write about the sex industry as well.
