The Hook Up · Beyond exploitative or empowering: Tilly Lawless on sex work and feminism · 7 Mar 2021 podcast

I also think a lot of it is about class and,

and people who are working class upsetting the status quo and having access to visible money in things like designer clothes and like plastic surgery and stuff like that.

Yeah, so I think we just kind of need to, and sorry, I'm saying we because I'm thinking about women.

Sorry, I generally, obviously there are,

There are men feminists too, but like I generally only think about women in my life.

I mean, fair.

I guess if I was speaking about men's attitudes to sex work, I would say often that comes down to them being threatened by women doing something that they feel like they should have control over, which is women's sexuality.

Or sometimes, you know, it comes down to women being able to access wealth through something that they feel like they can't access wealth from, which is hilarious because, you know, there's only two industries in the world that women earn more than men in, and that's sex work and modelling, which are two, you know, very, like, closely linked industries.

So I'm like, to men, let us have it.

You know what I mean?

Like, this is the one thing we earn more than you in.

Just like, you know, don't be threatened by that.

You've got everything else.

I hope that answered your question.

The Hook Up · Sex Workers In Love · 12 Apr 2016 podcast

First off, thinking about it, God, that was probably when I was like 14 or 15, but I think thinking about something is very different to actually

So I didn't start sex work until I was 20, which is three years ago now.

And how did it all start for you?

It started because I was a uni student that needed money.

I think probably the same story as a lot of sex workers or at least a lot of the ones that get airtime.

because they have the more, I guess, privileged voices in a way.
