Korean 'Ethcort': the hidden part of the structure
06.29.05 (2:28 am) [edit]I feel strangely unhappy although I should only get excited now: I will start working from tomorrow in the agency that I mentioned in the previous date. The interview was all right, without a hitch or any coersion for sex. The only complaint that I have now is this same old strange convention they have as the 'house cut,' the commision the agencency assigns workers other than the 'break down,' which would not leave even 50% of the price a client exactly pays to a girl for the session in total.
This weird convention is the notoriety that the nachronism and systematic mysoginy causes to the houses, along with the institutional sadism againt workers in the industy. (In NY, the Asian ethnic escort industy is monopolized by Koreans. This is the hidden part of their huge national fund made abroad and brought back to Korea.) Those Korean agencies charge extra fees on the workers on top of getting their 60% or so as for break down although they have no logical explanation for the bad convention, except the belief for it to be 'the way' to manage the business. You can substitute 'the business' with a word such as 'slavery'.
They make the tradition to make women's lives helpless in the society so that women become vulnerable and have no option other than being a house or a sexworker, from either of which men can benefit anyway. The society is the institutional slavery for women.
Regarding the slavery of the Korean ethcort (I think I'll use this made up word, which seems to capture the essence of what is to be described) business, it is so unacceptable that I feel an urge to let it all out to people outside who has no access to see how horrendous the violation of human rights is. Besides, it is noteworthy that all the Korean workers are blinded to acknowledge how much they are being abused and exploited in the environment. Persely they are rather made to be grateful for the owners of the business to have jobs and the source of income: their unawareness of the condition is greatly attributed to their culture that is premised to exploit women and works for men. They are too imune to it to articulate what is tolerable and what is violation for sex workers' rights on top of what human rights can be. This is what is going on in the US where American women benefit f eminism even without any awareness or struggle.
