I find it perplexing that so many liberal feminists who argue vigorously that ‘sex work is work’ are hyper-sensitive to any suggestion of sexual impropriety in their own workplaces. These women recoil at being asked out for dinner by a male colleague or being touched casually on an arm or leg, describing such acts as ‘sexual harassment’. But if that is sexual harassment, then how should we describe what goes on in a brothel?
