The Problem With Burlesque Dancers & Vintage Lovers Who Shame Sex Workers

My only issue with “we’re the same” is it doesn’t acknowledge the systemic differences in treatment of women who do “the classy version” and those of us who do the “trashy evil version” but yeah basically 

 Though admittedly I feel really fucking resentful of people who do get to enjoy the cultures we created without experiencing social stigma sometimes, even if they’re not being actively whorephobic, but like it’s not that I resent sharing the culture really so much as resent the fact that they get to have sexy fun times (often because of societal privileges actual sex workers lack) while we’re treated like shit, and like I think a lot of them don’t understand fighting, and the struggle involved in carving out those spaces for ourselves, you know?
