“Prostitution is a classist, ageist, racist, and sexist industry, in which the disadvantaged sell services to those who are more privileged. It is classist because for the most part it uses the sex labor of poor and disadvantaged persons largely for the service of those with disposable income to spend on sexual gratification. It is ageist because it recruits and preys upon very young people, often people who are still children, and discards them when they are past the artificially created stage at which they are considered sexually attractive. It is racist because it often victimizes black and Asian women and thrives on race stereotypes of sexually insatiable yet subservient women of color who exist only to serve the needs of whites. Last, and most important, it is an industry in which, for the most part, women are exploited for the purpose of serving men’s desires” (717). "Unlike other forms of labor mostly performed by women, prostitution is dependent on both for its value and its very existence upon the cultural construction of gender roles in terms of dominance and submission” (719). How might Brennan and Jaworski respond to these claims?
