I was pointing out the hypocrisy of feminists while objectifying themselves.

These are two different sets of feminists and screeching about objectification is a hypocrisy itself. "Grrl power! You can choose what you want! No no not like that!! You are not allowed to participate in sex work!"

Why do you think men have a harder time getting paid for sex than women?

Because it's incomparably easy(-ier) for women to get sex for free?

I think there is a difference

It's a difference between skilled and unskilled labor and sex work is just one of many unskilled jobs, isn't special in this respect. You don't need any skill set, knowledge, or talent to flip burgers either.

I didn't mean that the issue is that it decreases the demand of sex for me or other women. I meant that it decreases how much society and potential partners value women as a whole. It ruins the ability to form meaningful relationships and shifts society's view of women entirely.

We agree with this right here. I am literally saying that women should provide something more valuable than the hole between their legs!

I'm not sure how else to put it. Sex workers do not affect how much the society values women, just like sewer cleaners don't affect how much the society values men. Sex workers only affect women who don't have anything sex workers don't provide (access to genitals) by being better competitors. There is also nothing wrong with unskilled labor (like sex work), millions of people don't have skills or talent to any lucrative activity, yet they have to earn something.

You're welcome to disagree with this, but lately, men (and women) have been coming out and writing about how much porn has destroyed their views of women and has ruined their mental health and relationships with others in real life.

If porn allowing people to become clear-headed and break from their hormone-intoxicated state destroyed their relationships then maybe these relationships weren't "meaningful" and healthy in the first place.
