Can You Separate Empowerment from Exploitation in Sex Work? A StirredUp Debate.

from StirredUp · host StirredUp

Sex work sparks strong opinions—and in this episode, we dive into both sides of the debate. On one hand, legalization creates safety, autonomy, and opportunity—Alice Little is a prime example, building a 7-figure business in a regulated environment. On the other hand, the illegal sex trade exposes a darker reality: exploitation, danger, and a world far removed from empowerment. So how do we reconcile these two truths? Can we champion the women thriving in legalized systems while acknowledging the harm of underground markets? We wrestle with our own mixed feelings, challenge each other’s viewpoints, and spark a conversation that doesn’t have easy answers. 👉 Tune in for a thought-provoking, unfiltered discussion that will leave you questioning where you stand.
