This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit sexcult1.substack.comMargot’s Got Money Troubles(WARNING: spoiler alerts so don’t read if you want to watch this show, read after. And I do recommend you watch this show).What can I say, watching this show purely from the standpoint of your average American’s perspective of sex work or just any average white westerner, it’s great and probably challenging even. It comes at you from a totally new perspective for some of the storyline (not the sex work part unfortunately). In that she has the baby, she doesn’t have the abortion, the baby daddy is her English professor, who wants nothing to do with the baby because he is married etc. Ok now it starts getting cliche.He doesn’t take responsibility, blah blah, but then suddenly, this is where this show comes from left field again in that Margot doesn’t care that much that he is behaving like this. She’s not in love with him and if anything she may secretly have wanted him out of the picture in her modern day fantasies. Nevertheless, after having the baby, Margot obviously has to make more money now, so to sex work she turns! In the form of tit pictures and erotic fiction on Only Fans. This part starts to become not as original, but it’s modern and it touches on what it can be like to be any kind of content creator as a female (different experience to men I assume). Not so original, but watching it visually is very entertaining. I don’t know if it’s Elle Fanning charm, or the director or writer or all three but it works for the most part. I also love that when this show gets real, it gets REALLY REAL, and I really liked that.Some might think, she doesn’t have to turn to sex work, “many women have done it without”… really? How many? That YOU KNOW of?Sex work is usually a very anonymous industry, so you probably know a former sex worker or current and don’t know they are doing it and for good reason. However, this makes the job problematic alone. The reasons these women are not telling you they are in the industry are because of the fear of being shamed, discrimination from literally everywhere and everyone, female hating, sex shaming, not being taken seriously (this is more in America), huge resume gaps, it’s mainly night work so it will start taking over a woman’s life if she allows it (and I believe sometimes it can do so quickly without them noticing it), it’s a thankless job, even though it prevents rape, satisfies problematic fantasies so they aren’t acted out on IRL and it also is a death trap.xxxx support female writers xxx
