It is why I dislike the generalization on the negative points of SW, and not to trust a single one, or how we are all in it for money, and looking to screw clients over... ect.
Yes we are providing a service for money. But we are people just like you, trying to make our best in the world with the hand we are dealt.
The lovely indy providers I have had the pleasure/honour of meeting, have made me feel better about being an SP, because I see these same qualities in them and supporting our names and personalized businesses, not hiding under someone else's management. Our reputations are our own.
To see comments in other places about don't trust a single one, treat them like products instead of the people they are, insisting because someone is a SW they aren't worth common decency, it's a personal attack on the entire industry and everyone in it.
Unfortunately SEX is an industry that can make easy preditors, and victims on either side of the business. We do our best to minimize the risks as much as possible, but we also become products of what we have been threw in our lives.
Hurt people, tend to hurt people.
