Former SWer

As a former SWer I’m happy to see a story where the SWer keeps their job. It’s natural to have feelings of jealousy and insecurity, but it’s literally his job. I don’t think a lot of people have interrogated their own biases and whorephobia. And the expectation that your partner has to give up their job, when they even met through that job, is really harmful, especially when it hasn’t been brought up before they got together either.

“I only bake for people I like, so because of that any baker I date has to give up their job and every person they sell baked good to will seem like they’re flirting to me, and if they don’t give up their job they’re in the wrong”

    Except, baking doesn't require fucking people, the fuck? It's valid to not want your partner to be sleeping with other people even as a job.

    Labour requires people. Both as producers and consumers. You aren’t selling yourself, you are selling a service. But maybe a massage therapist or a doctor would have been a better comparison, since apparently you cannot understand what I am trying to say without a person touching someone else.
