Understanding the Dynamics of Gender and Sex Work
Men and women collaborate differently in life, influenced by inherent wiring and evolutionary factors. Historically, behaviors like finding a job, pursuing education, or staying fit enhance one's appeal to potential partners, much like traits evolved in various species to attract mates.
Key Points:
- Human collaboration includes cooperative child-rearing (alloparenting) money for sex is optimizing child survival and care.
- Traditional roles assign men to provide resources and women to handle childcare, influencing societal structures.
Relation to Sex Work:
Sex work is more than just a job; it's tied to human mating behaviors. Capitalism often tries to strip away this human aspect, viewing sex work as a mere product that can be owned and controlled. Recognizing the humanity in sex work is essential—it's not just a service like changing a tire or offering a ride. Noam Chomsky Work,pay and raising children: (youtube here)
Why It Matters: capitalist distortion
- Viewing sex work purely as a job risks dehumanization.
- Sex work involves a deep reproductive and social exchange.
- Terms like "dates" highlight the blend of social and work aspects in sex work.
By acknowledging the natural human elements in sex work, we can better respect and safeguard the individuals involved.
Courtship mating behavior: Monkeys get your money up front:
Can include things like food delivery, dance moves (displays) , and mutual preening in the animal kingdom. In humans it can mean money for sex. 99% of the time it’s that men buying sex. 80 for the time its to women. 20% male sex workers. But also showing off (displays) both women and men do this various ways; sexy pictures for women and status displays for men.
Men and women are inherently wired to collaborate differently, a crucial dynamic in life. When examining dating behaviors across genders, it becomes evident that various species engage in behaviors to enhance their value in the mating market, leveraging evolved traits to attract potential mates. Similarly, in human society, actions like finding a job, pursuing education, or maintaining physical fitness enhance one's marketability to potential partners, whether consciously acknowledged or not. Drawing from evolutionary perspectives, men historically diversified food and shelter to support their potential genetic offspring. Understanding human alloparenting as a form of cooperative breeding sheds light on how individuals collaborate within a group to breed and care for all children. This cooperative behavior likely evolved alongside human monogamy and preceded alloparenting and cooperative breeding practices. The positive feedback loop between paternal caregiving, sibling relatedness, cooperative breeding, and alloparental care highlights how human societies have optimized child-rearing strategies for increased child survivorship and decreased inter-birth intervals.
Exploring the dynamics of risk and gender roles, traditional roles assign men the responsibility of providing food and shelter, while childcare remains a dangerous endeavor. The evolution of sex as an incentivized behavior linked to pleasure with the natural outcome of childbirth has profound social and biological influences that shape hierarchies and societal structures. Human beings, as social creatures, utilize sex as a social lubricant, with parallels observed in bonobo societies where sex is employed to diffuse tensions and settle disputes.
Now what in the heck does this have to do with sex work. Well sex work is not just work it's a human mating behavior and strategy. The capitalist try to surgically remove the human natural mating behavior aspect to sex work. If it's just a capitalist product then the capitalist can own it. Seeing our normal human mating behavior says something that could just be owned and controlled is inhumane. Sex has to do with social hierarchies. If sex work is just work then you can be fired.. you can be replaced. If your boss decides that you need twice the level of workload. Bringing back the humanity to sex work is important. You're not just changing a tire here. You're not just a cab. For someone just takes a ride. You have a reproductive and social exchange. Sex workers famously called their client “dates”.. and did proposition their clients by saying "do you want a date” because it is difficult to disseminate having a date where you have sex and having sex as a job. Who's to say..
