Resumen
Históricamente la prostitución ha sido vista desde diferentes perspectivas como una situación y problemática que permea los imaginarios colectivos en donde se segrega , excluye , estigmatiza y rechaza en donde la aprobación u aceptación de violencias misóginas que se tiene al analizar la connotación de la prostitución frente a la forma en que la misma sociedad la analiza , se puede reconocer a la prostitución como una actividad en que la mujer es oprimida y vulnerada esta misma actividad en la que su sector poblacional que mayoritariamente está compuesto por mujeres , en donde estas no pueden ejercer sus libertades sexuales porque se convierten en un objeto de consumo , objeto que es consumido en su mayoría por hombres reflejando una realidad en la que la sociedad contradice los principios de igualdad entre hombres y mujeres
En la actualidad existe una estrecha relación entre los medios digitales con la prostitución , pues ahora las redes sociales y plataformas digitales cuentan con una gran influencia dentro de la percepción social de la realidad que se tiene y de las situaciones que se abarcan (Trillos Pacheco, J. J., & Soto Molina, J. 2018) lo que en si tiene repercusiones en la manera en que la sociedad percibe a la misma y las mujeres que la ejercen lo que termina generando un resultado amplio de opiniones respecto a dicha problemática con argumentos de cualquier tipo para justificar su propia decisión y opinión orientadas en su mayoría hacia la desigualdad de género y opresión patriarcal .
Con todo esto muchas veces estas posturas particulares ignoran por completo las implicaciones, impactos y repercusiones de la prostitución en la creación de más imaginarios machistas, misóginos y desiguales esto por medio de debates en redes sociales o producciones audiovisuales que se usan para inclinar la opinión hacia la continuación de estas ideas patriarcales tradicionales.
A todo esto, surge la problemática sobre la forma en que influyen las plataformas digitales y el contenido de las mismas en la percepción social de la prostitución, misma por la que se realiza esta investigación, para conocer esas percepciones desde distintas posturas , la presente investigación da un aporte a partir de evidencias de situaciones , en donde compara los discursos a favor de la despenalización o la legalización de la prostitución , con las violencias y desigualdades que se exhiben en lo que se denomina una industria de comercio y distribución sexual , entendiendo así las dinámicas sociales y contextos cambiantes ,así podemos relacionar esta problemática con enfoque de género lo que da una importancia a la percepción social y a las subjetividades de esta .
Históricamente se hace referencia a la prostitución como “el oficio más antiguo” mencionando de cierta manera a este de una manera en que se pude naturalizar lo que promueve a precisamente naturalizar esta problemática, pues a ojos de la sociedad como algo inherente a las dinámicas sociales esto dificulta la aceptación de esta como un problema uno que lleva violencias además de muchas mujeres víctimas que no se les reconoce como víctimas.
Es por esto que la naturalización de la prostitución como dinámica social se relaciona con la estigmatización hacia las mujeres que las ejercen percibiéndolas como sujetos sin ningún valor social, solo con la función e intención de satisfacer sus deseos sexuales la figura de la mujer que ejerce la prostitución es sesgada y estigmatizada , totalmente diferente de quienes la consumen y promueven ,porque no las perciben como personas que se deben respetar sino como objetos de consumo a disposición de satisfacer las necesidades sexuales de quienes son consumidores.
Ahora bien según Jeffrey Weeks afirma que la “industria del sexo” que va desde prostitución , herramientas sexuales , pornografía y demás , tiene como motivo de expansión en relación con el modelo capitalista y su capacidad de extensión del mismo, es así que las plataformas digitales como herramienta de divulgación de contenido sexual tanto desde el punto de plataformas directas de venta y mercantilización sexual digital como la postura publicitaria en redes sociales o videos para promover la compra y venta de contenido sexual digital
En la investigación se abordan también las diferentes perspectivas de la prostitución y el modelaje webcam, relacionado con las plataformas digitales y la interconexión de la sociedad lo cual es un factor determinante y significativo pues tiene aspectos psicosociales en donde se ve la estigmatización y esclavización hacia las mujeres, que sufren esto por los estándares impuestos por un patriarcado en relación a su poder.
Ahora en las diferentes posturas abordadas por los sujetos participantes se hace una diferenciación del concepto de prostitución digital y el llamado modelaje webcam en donde se desarrolla el cómo las plataformas digitales crean una gran diversificación de las distintas maneras de acceder a este contenido y su promoción y venta o de cómo se puede hacer desde el anonimato , y de cómo esta misma mirada desde otro sujeto , lo percibe como algo normal y como una forma de dinámica que no debería ser mal vista.
Concluyendo así el cómo las plataformas digitales, ejercen una gran influencia en cada postura, percepción y opinión, en el refuerzo de posturas machistas y misóginas que buscan a todo dar justificar sus opiniones, llevando siempre la vara de la doble moral en donde se es fácil juzgar sin tener en cuenta los factores de incidencia que puedan tener las mujeres que ejercen la prostitución.
Historically, prostitution has been seen from different perspectives as a situation and a problem that permeates the collective imaginary where it segregates, excludes, stigmatizes and rejects where the approval or acceptance of misogynist violence that is taken when analyzing the connotation of prostitution against the way in which society itself analyzes it, prostitution can be recognized as an activity in which women are oppressed and violated this same activity in which its population sector which is mostly composed of women, where they can not exercise their sexual freedoms because they become an object of consumption, an object that is consumed mostly by men, reflecting a reality in which society contradicts the principles of equality between men and women. Currently there is a close relationship between digital media and prostitution, because now social networks and digital platforms have a great influence on the social perception of the reality that is held and the situations that are covered (Trillos Pacheco, J. J., & Soto Molina, J. 2018) which in itself has repercussions in the way society perceives it and the women who exercise it which ends up generating a broad result of opinions regarding this problem with arguments of any kind to justify their own decision and opinion oriented mostly towards gender inequality and patriarchal oppression . With all this many times these particular positions completely ignore the implications, impacts and repercussions of prostitution in the creation of more sexist, misogynist and unequal imaginaries this by means of debates in social networks or audiovisual productions that are used to tilt the opinion towards the continuation of these traditional patriarchal ideas. To all this, the problem arises about the way in which digital platforms and their content influence the social perception of prostitution, which is the reason for this research, to know these perceptions from different positions, this research gives a contribution from evidence of situations, In which it compares the discourses in favor of the decriminalization or legalization of prostitution, with the violence and inequalities that are exhibited in what is called an industry of commerce and sexual distribution, thus understanding the social dynamics and changing contexts, so we can relate this problem with a gender approach which gives importance to social perception and subjectivities of this. Historically, prostitution is referred to as "the oldest trade", mentioning it in a way that it can be naturalized, which promotes the naturalization of this problem, because in the eyes of society as something inherent to social dynamics, this makes it difficult to accept it as a problem, one that leads to violence and many women victims who are not recognized as victims. This is why the naturalization of prostitution as a social dynamic is related to the stigmatization of women who exercise it, perceiving them as subjects without any social value, only with the function and intention of satisfying their sexual desires, the figure of the woman who exercises prostitution is biased and stigmatized, totally different from those who consume and promote it, because they are not perceived as people to be respected but as objects of consumption available to satisfy the sexual needs of those who are consumers. Now according to Jeffrey Weeks states that the "sex industry" ranging from prostitution, sexual tools, pornography and others, has as a reason for expansion in relation to the capitalist model and its ability to extend it, so the digital platforms as a tool for dissemination of sexual content both from the point of direct sales platforms and digital sexual commodification as the advertising position in social networks or videos to promote the purchase and sale of digital sexual content. The research also addresses the different perspectives of prostitution and webcam modeling, related to digital platforms and the interconnection of society which is a determining and significant factor because it has psychosocial aspects where the stigmatization and enslavement of women is seen, who suffer this by the standards imposed by a patriarchy in relation to their power. Now in the different positions addressed by the participating subjects, a differentiation is made between the concept of digital prostitution and the so-called webcam modeling where it is developed how digital platforms create a great diversification of the different ways to access this content and its promotion and sale or how it can be done from anonymity, and how this same look from another subject, perceives it as something normal and as a form of dynamics that should not be frowned upon. Thus concluding how digital platforms exert a great influence on every position, perception and opinion, in the reinforcement of sexist and misogynist positions that seek to justify their opinions at all costs, always carrying the rod of double standards where it is easy to judge without taking into account the factors of incidence that may have women who practice prostitution.
