A woman has created a buzz on the Internet after she added 'sex work' in the work experience of her LinkedIn profile.
Arielle Egozi posted a screenshot of her LinkedIn profile's work experience section that included "Sex Work. Self-employed". She explained why she mentioned it.
rielle said that she left an in-house job with fancy benefits recently. "The reason I could do that was sex work. I had just enough saved from selling and engaging my image that I could ask myself if I was happy. I wasn't. Yeah, the few grand I'd stashed up over time helped, but the biggest reason I could walk away is because sex work shows me what my power can do when I own it intentionally. I charge exorbitant amounts," she said.
She continued, "I have no problem taking rejections from those that don't want to pay it, because I charge what emotional labour is required right into the fee. I set and hold boundaries, and engage only in ways that are safe, playful, and abundant for me. I don't waste my time with anything less. I stopped pitching and negotiating. I have nothing to prove. I've done the work up front to make my value evident."
She asked, "Why is this different than any other client work?"
"The answer I come to, again and again, is that it isn't. So it's now up on my linkedin. Because not only is my new standard for incoming creative clients that they be at least half as respectful, generous, and grateful as the John Does online -- but that anyone who I partner with celebrates and accepts every experience as one i will inevitably bring with me into a project. They don't have to understand it, but they better respect the hell out of it," she wrote.
The post has gone viral on LinkedIn with netizens sharing their thoughts about sex work and putting it on public resume. Here's what netizens said:
"We talk about women's rights in the context of abortion but we don't see much talk about the right of a woman to use her body (physically or graphically) to earn income. Athletes, musicians, models, acrobats, and even construction workers use their bodies to generate income, and everyone seems good with that. We can't all work behind a desk at a computer. As long as the woman is voluntarily using her body to earn income, I am good with it, even if the activity is related to sex. Her body, her choice. And of course you might get a more favorable response from some of our readers if you promise to wear a mask and get a shot in your arm while providing your services!"
"Sex work IS real work and a great paying one at that! We shouldn't minimize the value of those who take it on as work whether full time or a hustle; just because sex is considered a practice that 'should be free'."
