Comments by "Jim Werther" (@jimwerther) on "Aella: Sex Worker, Data Scientist, Libertarian" video.

Sex work is incredibly depressing. Someone with a family and a meaningful life who is scraping by is far happier than a sex worker, a field in which drug abuse and self-harm is rampant, suicide is frequent, and living happily ever after virtually unheard of. Money does not equal happiness or fulfillment.

Reason can try to normalize folks like her, but this is one of the saddest things a person can do. Imagine this being your mom? Or grandma? She won't be young forever, but this will remain part of her all her life. And her family's as well.

Is there a law banning conservatives from watching a libertarian channel?

@wertywerrtyson5529 They are all on drugs and utterly miserable. None of them actually accumulates wealth; their drug use increases as they try to escape their depressing existence, and their addictions worsen. Emotionally they are basket cases. When they age out, they have no money, no skills, no familial relationship, no dating prospects, and are addicted to drugs. This will not end well for her, just as it ends poorly for everyone else. She puts on a brave face here, but her life is on a fast track to nowhere. And to think that she is the best that Reason could come up with.

@davethebrahman9870 The minute they head down this path, these women are permanently damaged goods. Not defending the male side of the equation, but in no way are the buyers harmed remotely as much as the sellers are.

@jax408 Thank you

@davethebrahman9870 There aren't many secrets these days. But even if she somehow keeps it from her husband, she still can't remove it from her psyche.

@wertywerrtyson5529 People who go into this line of work are damaged to begin with, and only make things worse by heading down that path. And no, no one is forced by economic circumstances into such an awful existence. It wasn't the case historically, and flat-out absurd today when welfare programs abound.

The term "trad" was used repeatedly, but never explained. What does "trad" mean?

@youngaspireify How do you know they voted Democrat?

@Dan16673 Lol!

She is absolutely not wife material

@ubermalice9589 Jeez, you're verbose. Did you need me to explain the obvious? She's a stripper/prostitute who uses narcotics. Just because she can string together sentences in an interview and claim to be well-adjusted doesn't make it true.

That's funny. But she's gross anyway.

@jarekkish5515 And those who are "successful" are failures in morality and life.

@hairyviking9248 No, they really don't. Sorry, libertarians, but morality is a thing.

@garypalmer1122 Which woman has to enter the world of prostitution?
1
@garypalmer1122 Total bs. No one has to prostitute herself to avoid starving to death. Coercion is a different story, but that is not the majority of cases.
1
@garypalmer1122 I don't know what country you are in, but there is no woman who starve to death if she wasn't selling her body. That's simply a baloney story. In reality nearly all who are not physically coerced into it are heavily using drugs.

@BruceD1776 1. Basic psychology 2. Google if necessary 3. Proofread your comments before posting

@BruceD1776 Psychologists' opinion of pyschology, actually. Fact is, even voluntary sexual activity without emotional connection is thoroughly damaging to the female psyche; for pay only moreso. Psychologists on the left, such as the late Joy Browne, would chalk that up to it being an invasion of the female body, versus the situation with males. More traditional types would put the focus elsewhere. Your point that whores start out damaged is valid, but there is no real question that selling one's body for money is damaging as well. As to the libertarian argument? I understand it, but I disagree with it when it comes to morality. As a conservative, I agree with John Adams's contention: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

@JoeDirtisawsome Funny, but interviews with former sex workers always reach the opposite conclusion.

Do you really believe she can compartmentalize? Like hell. She is drug-using basket case like everyone else in the field, deeply unhappy with no future in sight.
1
@germpore You sound just like the leftist radicals in relation to folks to "transition" to the opposite sex (an actual impossibility). No, it's not those with traditional values ruining it for them; they are ruining their own lives, to the extent that they were not severely messed up to begin with. Same with your sex worker friends.

@MisterMonsterMan Ah, thank you. Why in the world didn't they just say that?
