Oh, I totally agree. Women do run the sex industry. We use our bodies because we can.
I think you'd be surprised at how many girls have not told their families what they really do for a living, and I'd imagine if they were found out, they'd say they were coerced and/or exploited.
Most of the dancers in the club I worked in were not local to the area I live in. Most of them make sure they work in towns/cities where they're not likely to meet anyone they know while working.
Which, you know, I can see their point. How awkward would it be if you're parading around in bedroom clothing and your dad or uncle were to walk in while you were working? I know I wouldn't want to take that risk. ;)
