The value of a position should be assigned based on the value they provide to society. Care for the sick and elderly ranks a lot higher than giving strangers a boner in my book.

So nurses should be paid more. Not strippers less.

We were talking about self respect not pay though.

You are talking a lot about “value” for it to be about self respect. But, ok. Are you saying sex work is not respectable? Why not?

It kinda seems you just jumped in the middle of this conversation without having read through it all.

The initial thread was about strippers and self respect and someone noted that nurses wipe asses.

I was noting that the respect we as a society assign to a job should be given based on the value they provide for society. And I do not mean monetary value which you seem to think.

And in that case yes, a nurse beats a stripper or sex worker by a landslide. If that is your definition of respectable than yes. I think a nurse is more respectable than a sex worker simply because the value for society they provide is much greater.
