Female content workers. Are they exploited?

[gigi]

...here in the states they all think their asses are plated with gold.

HAHA, this is sooooooo true. I had a 'dancer' friend who owed some money so she posed for some pics. She then decided she didn't want her face all over the net. I tried to convince her otherwise, and she said....exact words.... "Like it or not Tara, I'm a known face."

I laughed and laughed....and tried to explain to her that she was one of a million faces online....lol...it was rather amusing.

As far as exploitation....I can't say I agree with everything that was posted here....for me, there are definitely limits...whether a girl 'chooses' to do it or not.

The exploitation part comes in for me when you look at WHY she is doing what she is doing. Is it soley for the money to get her out of a 'bad' situation? Is it because she feels it is empowering for her? Is it because she just plain likes the money? Is it because the producers offered her MORE money to do certain things and she just couldn't turn down the cash?

If a girl decides to do plain old 'nudes' at the beginning of the shoot, signs the contract and they get shooting....and by the time the shoot is over she has broccoli up her butt because the cam dude pushed her on and on for more and more $$.....that's exploitation IMO.

If she had every intention of sticking broccoli up her butt from the start....all the power to her!

All the fantasy rape crap out there is not necessarily exploitation of the individual girl.....but of women as a whole....
