A second teacher at a high school in Missouri was put on leave after administrators discovered her OnlyFans side hustle.

Megan Gaither, 31, said during an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she was placed on leave from her English teaching and varsity cheerleading coach position on Oct. 27 after district officials found out about her account on the OnlyFans platform.

    I don’t get the problem with sex work.

    Sigh. You must not know any sex-workers then.

    The recent glamorization of sex-work is something that exists solely by those who do not participate in it.

      I think you misunderstood. There certainly are problems with sex work. Woman being forced into it and living under terrible conditions for example is a big problem with the industry. But this post is about the outrage of other people. What I certainly don’t get is the problem people see in others doing sex work voluntarily. There is nothing morally wrong with having an OnlyFans account or doing any other type of sex work if you chose too. It is just as valid a choice as any other type of work. We should just make sure the conditions aren’t abusive.

      I’ve seen a lot of advocates for legalization, if not glamorization, come from the sex work industry. Aella, for example.

        Legalization is different from glamorizing.

        It should be legal, but should not be glamorized. If you don’t understand the latter half, it’s because you don’t know sex workers and probably base your idea of the profession around a few popular outliers.

        The vast majority of sex workers hate their jobs and encourage everyone to steer clear of the profession.
