Is it not true that in almost every way possible, corporate life is demeaning to the average worker? Your employer will exploit you any way they can; it's the American Way. I posit that it's more prevalent in the sex biz not because it's intrinsic to the mentality, but because we are exempted by those outside the industry from the protections and recourse extended to other workers.
I offer, too, that mainstream media demeans and defiles women much more.
Like I said above, I definitely think there is quite a bit of sexism in the mainstream world, probably more. Women in mainstream media that are smart but not especially attractive are made fun of, women still have stereotypical sexist roles in tv shows (mostly comedies though)and women are still treated less than men in corporate jobs. Any woman who has worked in corporate has likely dealt with things like seeing less qualified men promoted ahead of her or harassment. However, there is a thing called EEO that is supposed to cut these issues down.
The sex industry doesn't have something like this. While women in the industry are moving into management positions, the reality is those at the top are men. How many video companies or strip clubs are owned by women or have women at those levels? A few but not as many as they should. Of course the same is said about corporate jobs too.
