SWERF is the most garbage term get it out of my face and off my dash

#also stop legitimizing prostitution by calling it sex work

Are you fucking for real right now?

Like dude, I normally respect your opinions, but this is garbage. All I can think of reading it is that is this post.

Are you really going to throw a tantrum over a post written by sex workers about their experiences with the criminal justice system, its corrupt victim advocacy, and the privileged class of feminists who aid it, and how harmful that ideology is to them? Come on!

Also, the term sex work refers to more than just “prostutition” but the term prostitution is one that is explicitly used to justify state violence against woman who engage in that particular form of sex work and, to a lesser extent, sex work more generally.

So, you know, that’s where you’re at right now.

The poster in the post I was referring to was making a (clumsy) argument for the Nordic model which decriminalizes prostitution, while criminalizing demand. When I say sex worker is a garbage term I’m ascribing to what Rachel Moran, a former prostitute, has to say about the term (I’m on mobile, ill post it after this). I really think you should hear what she has to say, and also consider paying more attention women who have left the sex trade.

I really think you should hear what she has to say, and also consider paying more attention women who have left the sex trade.

I should consider paying more attention women who have left the sex trade?? Fuck you. How about I listen to women who are still in the “trade” and how their biggest fear is being raped by a cop.

Yeah, like my friend Bella is a fucking trafficking survivor and activist for decriminalization, maybe you should listen to her instead?
