Maybe for some women. But I hesitate to call trading one's body to be empowering. Personal value statements aside, it is dangerous and always has been as you rightly pointed out. Whatever individuals decide to do is up to them. I am not here to pass judgment on their choices. But I do take issue on how this dream is being sold.
I know the 9-5 grind is tiring and taking the slow route to wealth building gets old sometimes. But we see the highlight reel of these select few women making money hand over fist. What we don't see is the vast majority of creators barely breaking even in a saturated platform.
