There's a song I like that speaks on this fairly poetically, so I'd like to start by just directly quoting it:

So when you bled on the bed as you fed those expectations, as a whore and not a human, you embraced with hesitation the very parameters of all you can be. Not a mother, not an aunt, not a sister who's not subdued. Because dignity's not physical, and your flesh means more than you.

Many (NOT ALL) of the people purchasing sex look at the worker as a commodity and not a human. And many (NOT ALL) of the general public look at the sex worker as undesirable. And many (NOT ALL) of sex workers are coerced into the industry, either by force or by life circumstance. Until we can truly establish a society which views sex work as "just another job," and rid ourselves of all the aforementioned biases, the people purchasing it are feeding into a broken and hurtful system.
