Basically everything you're saying isn't true. Factually inaccurate. For multiple reasons. First of all, many jobs have age requirements. Many things in this world have different ranges where you can't do it until after a certain age. Perfectly legal. Also, other industries other than movies, including TV, radio, modeling, etc exist and do the same things. Sports and athletics related jobs have gender requirements. So even if we want to pretend that what you're saying isn't BS (it is BS), then it's still wrong because it's not only movies.

Next, OP specifically says the word discriminate. Discrimination is unjust/prejudicial treatment of people based on their given categories. It isn't unjust or prejudiced to pick a person based on their age, race, gender, etc for a role in a film. It's appropriate for the work that is being done. Which is my point. You're the one missing the point trying to have a Reddit "gotcha" moment and you failed.

There are many jobs held by men and women that get paid a lot more in one paycheck than a lot of us will see in a year or in a lifetime. It definitely seems like you're blaming those people for having those jobs and not the system, which is dumb.

No one is saying that you should spend money on a sex worker either. It's just an option for people and I'm not sure why that makes them dumb for utilizing that option.

Also men can be sex workers and make a lot of money as well. Not just fuckin' other dudes either lol.

They run the risk of getting beaten, killed, or raped in some cases, and in the best circumstances have to perform acts on some men that wouldn’t be desirable to touch let alone let them penetrate you. There’s some regard in them earning what they get paid for their work in there somewhere, Jesus Christ.
