The question you have to ask is whether or not a "booth babe" would choose such work over others if they had a choice and not merely because it pays the bills.

I would assume attractive women have more options open to them, not less. Same for atrractive males. Attractive people earn more, on average.

Being a booth babe is an option not open to unattractive people. Seems like a superset.

Or a Brogrammer chooses to program over other thing he would rather do? How is that different than the 'push' to 'get women in tech'?
Would you choose the job you currently have if you had another choice and not merely because it pays the bills?

The arguments against capitalism and against sex workers are two completely orthogonal things. Sex work is a consequence of capitalism + enforced class systems perpetuated by leadership.

Fix those things instead of claiming women who have complete personal agency in what they do with their bodies are still being exploited. Of course they are. All of us are being exploited.
