The sex industry (nochmal) and "giving voice" viewed as a conservative practice

I got yet another comment on the postion of Sexworkers as women who has to be given voice in feminist work and I had to... Well this is not some cool analysis just a quote, just... to me the majority (or I don't know, but at least quite common) Berlin queer-feminist position to the sexindustry is sooo strange. It is not just about legislation, it is the understanding of the whole field, I think. Well, I keep making noises...

To authenticate a work, it becomes therefore most important to prove or make evident how this Other has participated in the making of his/her image; hence, for example, the prominence of the string-of-interviews style and the talking-heads, oral-witnessing strategy in documentary film practices.This is often called „giving voice“, even though these „given“ voices never truly form the Voice of the film, being mostly used as devices of legitimation whose random, conveniently given-as and taken-for-granted authority often serves as compensation for Lack (the lack of imag-ination or of believability, for example).*

These words come from a different context, their „original“ point being a critique of „the Master's“ techniques in documenting „the natives“ through inscribing text upon them. But to me these words are so right on one of the main points where feminist positions on prostitution legislation stumbles, sometimes fooled by the own use of the technique of „the Master“, or, maybe more correctly, techniques are dangerous, easily become conservative. For who would ever argue against listening?

For me, feminist positions calling on Sexworkers say this, Sexworkers say that and then through several quotes formulating one postion - that of the self-made business woman, angry with stigmatizing and burdened by it, but content with her work - are not dealing sincerly with the responsibility of interpreting the world as feminists. Sexworkers say they are Subjects, Not Victims. Women say they do not experience patriarchy – we are not victims. We are do not wish to be victims! Therefore we must be free and happy. Or can I, fighting to interpret the world to my best survival, find other questions to ask me, and ways to ask that give me leeway? When, anyway, did I become representative of Women?
