Paying a sex worker is payment for services rendered. It's negotiated beforehand.

Same with sugar babies. You're getting what you set a price to.

Wives do work. You men agree to cover her financially in exchange for her focusing on providing you a home, having and caring for your children an focusing on advancing you in your career. In a very real sense, this is a paid position too, only she's not earning accrued and taxable wages. This is an agreement you both came to in order to raise a family and/or advance the man.

Most of the situations men of the manosphere refer to as gold digging are in fact, situations they agreed to, wanted, and even advocated for but now they're acting like stingy, money grubbing skinflints who thinks theyre being persecuted and oppressed because they got exactly what they wanted and it STILL didn't make them happy.

Shocker. 🙄
