Hands Up If Middle Aged White Men Scare You More Than Anyone Else

Do you engage with commentary by sex workers at all, including those who advocate for decriminalization or who aren't activists but oppose their clients being criminalized regardless? It seems to me that your concerns are for women generally, because you falsely believe that decriminalizing sex work would lead to further misogyny by validating the purchase of sex, but that you don't seem aware of what sex workers think and feel about the subject at all.

When you're speaking over a marginalized group and insisting you know better, that tells me you don't value their opinions or see them as worthy of listening to.

Yes, and I disagree. I’ve read and listened to plenty of sex workers who argue for full decriminalization. I still fundamentally disagree. That disagreement doesn’t come from ignorance, it comes from looking at the broader consequences. And as it turns out, many current and former sex workers agree with me. Do you 🫵🏾 listen to them?

I’m very aware of what pro-decriminalization sex workers say. Sex workers can be wrong. Being directly involved in a system doesn’t mean you automatically have the clearest view of its harms.

Also, "falsely"? Wdym "falsely"? How can validating purchasing sexual access to women not lead to further misogyny, a cornerstone of which is male access to and control over women's sexuality?

The opinions of pro sex work workers are not more or less valuable than anti sex work workers. I take issue with the idea that disagreement equals dismissal. I’ve listened. I’ve read the arguments. I still believe the normalization of sex work hurts women and that includes the women working in the industry. I am not obligated to fall behind a line of thinking just because a particular person is saying it.

In conclusion, feminism isn't a girl's club. It isn't here to support anything a woman does. It's about female liberation, and that doesn't change because some of the people working against our liberation are also women. There are pro-life women too. There are anti-suffragette women too. Why don't we listen to and validate them as well?

It is not more feminist to align with pro sex work rhetoric simply because a sex worker asked you to. Not everything a woman does is feminist. not even everything a feminist does is feminist. we can't advance if we're too busy coddling and "listening" and being too afraid to question.

If you want to know why we live in a rape culture, it's because men believe that rape is just sex a woman wasn't crazy about.

So this " straight guy" solved a problem for sexism which feminism couldn't ..

Gee ! Just have a mini penis ....simple

No vagina,no problem!

Apparently ,vagina is badly designed ,secretive and makes women unhappy !!!

Women live in shame because of their poorly designed anatomy ,wow ! what a genius..

Sometimes i wonder what it is, men are more retarded or more illiterate .

I keep thinking about this and laughing it's like too much for me

TW: SEXUAL HARASSMENT/ASSAULT

TRANSWOMEN ARE NOT YOUR SISTERS.

Taken from r/ftm, this topic was about transphobia from other trans people, but just ended up being women talking about being sexually assaulted or controlled by trans-identified men. These transwomen don't even respect transmen's identities, yet demand their identities be respected, they are not your allies or your friends. Don't let people fool you into thinking transwomen are the most oppressed when they regularly sexually assault female trans-identified people. Remember this when people say transwomen are not socialized male, or that sex isn't real or doesn't matter.

i wish dog owners would shut the fuck up sometimes

look idgaf about selena gomez or her drama and everthing I've learned about this relationship has been against my will

but this story reminded me of so many conversations I have been in with leftist men, back when I was still trying to a be cool kweer girl

men meeting their partner's friends and then paying for their porn but "babe, you can't be angry about that because I'm just being supportive and I didn't realize you were so sex-negative, especially since you keep claiming to care about sex workers :/ it's just like any other work. it's no different from you paying for your friends' art"

I loathe them

"what if the genders were reversed???"

they are. like an overwhelming majority of the time and you say nothing. get real or stfu
