Now, you are talking.  Very good.  This sets you apart from moralist feminists.

Yes, though one shouldn't underestimate how brutally bourgeois men
can behave toward bourgeois women.

>Sexual work is a form of wage labor that involves exploitation.

See my last post.  I don't equate the term "sexual work" with wage
labor -- sexual work under capitalism, however, is wage labor or
petty production.  When capitalism gets abolished, sex work, like all
other kinds of work, cease to be alienated labor.

>We will have sex under socalism, but it won't be out of economic compulsion.

Under socialism, neither sex work nor any other kind of work will be
out of economic compulsion of the market.
