The modern generation of feminism has a complicated relationship with sex. On one hand, it's generally sex-positive. On the other hand, there is a much greater willingness than with previous generations of feminists to acknowledge that men and women don't perceive sex in the same way. There is still a deep-seated feeling that sex is something men take or earn and women give up.[1] That feeling is what makes sex work, if not inherently exploitive, at least inherently susceptible to being exploitive.

[1] Go to Manhattan and talk to a bunch of 25-35 year olds. Count how many men are sick of just "giving it up" and want to get married versus how many women express a similar view.
