I am going to wade into this. While agree with you on most points, I will have to respectfully disagree on some, and perhaps you will at least see my point.

I feel that SESTA/FOSTA is a large part in what we are seeing with client bad behaviour, though, face it, this is nothing new. BackPage made the entry into professional domination so easy that there were a lot of women who just put out a shingle without even knowing what it was, hoping to make a quick dollar. It was what it was. Now there are a flood of "subs" who are used to this almost "casual" "low end" service, without the constant influx of these dommes the guys are contacting us. Surprisingly, we don't care what Queen Rhianna did 2 years ago for what price. It doesn't fly with us. Arguments ensue--if you allow them.

Gender roles/expectations/behaviours are changing. Me Too was the earthquake, but aftershocks remain. I wish it could be so easy as: "Nice tits!" "Oh, yeah, thanks, but that doesn't really come across as great as you think it does." "Really? I meant it as a compliment." "I think that you did, but it makes me feel uncomfortable in this context." "Oh, I did not know. I will be better next time." Men are angry trying to find their way in this new paradigm. Women are not always taking the higher ground and using it to justify themselves being the asshole now. It is a big confusing mess and I see it getting worse before it gets better. I do prefer the growing pains to not growing at all.

Where I do disagree with you, and we have touched on this before, is the SWer line. Perhaps we are very different SWers than the woman on the street. But I turn that back on the clients. NO WOMAN should be treated poorly, no matter what. I am not a female supremacist, but a stanch humanitarian. I am probably not going to change your mind, but I hope maybe you can take pause to think about why it would ever be okay to treat some one less.

I say this as I also know many different flavors of SWers. It is not what you are willing to do per se, but how you interact with people. I know escorts that are treated like they are made of gold.

Yes things are changing. It is up to all of us to make it in the best way we can.
