many women actors ("actresses"?! 1995 called) and models are indeed sex workers. The term "sex worker" is in fact a term of art engineered in part specifically to capture this reality. I encourage you to read up about sex worker activism and third wave feminism more generally.

I encourage you not to conflate the 1% adult models and adult video actresses with the 99% population of models and actresses that are not sex workers.

No such conflation occurred ~ for a conflation, I would need to have said, "being an actor just is being a sex worker."

Words mean things.

What you are uncomfortable with is adjacency, and it points to internal work you need to do.
