It makes me so sad to see underage SWERFs, like not that I thought all of sex work was glamorous at 14 but I remember copying makeup looks from the AVN awards, watching movies about strippers, loving any reality show with sex workers like Girls Next Door or Rock of Love, and basically every song I loved had a music video set in a strip club. Oh and adoring glamour models. I guess I could relate to be ostracized for your sexuality or how you look and I didn’t understand whoreohobia, but I thought strippers and porn stars and glamour models were the epitome of cool and I can’t imagine being that salty so young. And I guess we shouldn’t go in on minors for being ignorant but when they try to talk over my lived reality of marginalization and oppression it pisses me off like, idk just be normal and get someone to buy you smokes or booze or go have sex in a movie theater like normal teens, stop trying to “rebel” by actually spouting harmful views omfg.
i’ve seen a lot of garbage posts on this website, but advising teenage girls to stop giving a fuck about misogyny and instead devote themselves to self-destruction has to be the shittiest thing i’ve seen in a long time.
I’m sorry fuck you fuck you fuck you.
teenage girls who aren’t in the sex industry need to stop spouting off about shit they don’t know about and talking over people’s lived realities. jfc. it’s not that hard.
“self destructive”? lmao. coughing on a cigarette, thinking you’re hxc for drinking a smirnoff ice and fucking in a movie theater because unlike adults you can’t do it at home isn’t fucking self destructive. maybe for some people but where I grew up there was a lot worse shit. Sorry you didn’t grow up in a rough area get your sheltered whorephobic ass out of here lamo fuck you
you’re not the only person who grew up in a rough area— i did too. i saw what it looked like when seventh grade girls did coke and cut their arms to shreds and got drunk in parks and had sex with twenty-year-old guys. it’s not remotely pretty. it’s not the kind of life i would ever tell anyone to get into.
honestly, i don’t even want to fight with you— this is just really sad. i’m sorry that you had such a shitty time growing if you think these things are okay, and i’m so sorry about what happened in your life to make sex work a necessity.
can you stop using whorephobic tho? don’t call women whores ffs
Wait a sec so you’re telling young girls that instead of trying to figure out their lives and how misogyny and oppression affect their lives they should be smoking drinking and fucking guys in movie theaters? What the fuck that’s the worst advice I’ve ever fucking heard.
What you just described to us all of the idolization of glamour models and copying looks from them and looking up to them as cool is exactly the kind of conditioning and brainwashing that we’re talking about when we say that young girls are socialized into preforming sexy rather than discovering their own sexuality. You just described your own socialization into femininity. Now you may think this is healthy for you and as an adult you’re free to make your own choices but for the majority of teenage girls especially girls as young as 14, this is not healthy because their sexuality is based off performing for somebody else rather than discovering what makes them feel good. When girls grow up like this, when they have boyfriends for the first time they don’t learn what feels good sexually to them, they learn how to be sexy for their boyfriends. We need to be encouraging girls to explore their bodies on their own, independently of men, and to be critical of media that encourages them to be sex toys for someone else.^^^^^
This is just.. Depressing. Like, jfc…
Literally the stupidest, most f’ed up thing ever.
It makes me so sad to see underage SWERFs, like not that I thought all of
sex work was glamorous at 14 but I remember copying makeup looks from
the AVN awards, watching movies about strippers, loving any reality show
with sex workers like Girls Next Door or Rock of Love, and basically
every song I loved had a music video set in a strip club.The media keeps making these kinds of shows because they want to influence teenagers/kids and get them to buy their shit. They actually have business meetings planning how to influence teenagers/kids.
Oh and adoring
glamour models. I guess I could relate to be ostracized for your
sexuality or how you look and I didn’t understand whorephobia,When I was in highschool (15/16) I was called a ‘whore’ by teenage boys. I
was wearing the same unisex uniform as them. I screamed at them and said they had some of their shirt buttons undone so they are showing more skin than I was. I understood what you call ‘whorephobia‘ (not a real word) is really about. It is misogyny and sexism.but I
thought strippers and porn stars and glamour models were the epitome of
cool andMany girls reject this.
I can’t imagine being that salty so young.
You’d be surprised.
And I guess we
shouldn’t go in on minors for being ignorant but when they try to talk
over my lived reality of marginalization and oppression it pisses me off
like.You are speaking over their lived reality and the average age of recruitment for prostitution is about 14. They are affected by this regardless of whether they are in the sex industry or not. Every woman and girl is a stake holder here so we get a say.
idk just be normal and get someone to buy you smokes or booze
So don’t think just drink.
or
go have sex in a movie theater like normal teens, stop trying to “rebel”Hey kids go get kicked out of a cinema! Are you going to tell them to get kicked out of fast food places like the amazing atheist?
by actually spouting harmful views omfg.
What harmful views exactly? You just encouraged teenage girls to drink and smoke. There is a trope for this.
Jfc you’re speaking over sex workers and that “average age of prostitution is 14” is a myth and a bad study fuck off.
And don’t say the word whore unless you know, you are one like me 😊
Jfc you’re speaking over sex workers and that “average age of prostitution is 14” is a myth and a bad study fuck off.
No it is true the average age for recruitment for the sex industry is underage. I didn’t link to any studies I just stated it because it has already been pre-established. Let’s be honest here we all know it. Anyway here is some sourced research as evidence. (Click the links provide on the post because she just summarised it).
And don’t say the word whore unless you know, you are one like me
You aren’t a whore. No woman is a whore. I don’t go around using the term ‘whore‘ but somehow any given woman can be called a whore or a bitch or a cunt or a skank the list goes on.
“teenage girls who aren’t in the sex industry need to stop spouting off about shit they don’t know about and talking over people’s lived realities”
Whaaaaat the fuck.
They tell them they don’t know anything but tell them about how ‘glamourous’ ‘sex work’ is and encourage them to enter the sex industry.
Op doesn’t know how to to talk to kids and what is age appropriate.
Like, is that where liberal feminism is now? Encouraging teens to enter the sex industry while they’re still teens or else they have to shut up? Fuck I’m glad I left liberal feminism when I did.
You know what? I mean you’re a fucking TERF so whatever, but how many times do I need to reiterate I was a teenage sex worker as well, I’m a survival sex worker, who is disabled so this is the only work I can do?
I am NOT encouraging teens to enter the sex industry. I did because I had to. But I am saying don’t talk over people who ARE.
Just like how I don’t like middle class radfems telling working class women how we should choose to present. It’s bullshit
I’m living paycheque to paycheque, was a month away from being homeless before I got this job. I believe the term is “working poor”. I’m also the daughter of a woman who worked as an underage stripper, as well as the older sister of a girl who once had sex for money. I’m glad if teenage girls are critical of the sex industry, even if they have no experience of it. I hope they never do. I hope they never have to. I hope they never think of it as a “glamourous” job. I hope no one ends up in my mother’s, sister’s, or your position. Those people (mostly or exclusively men, I’m sure), what they did to you wasn’t okay. You did it to survive, that’s not your fault. They could have helped you by giving you food or money and not raping a child.
JFC, way to take away my autonomy, so feminst, wow. When will this BS end? when will you stop harassing me on an untagged personal post?
So you’ve never been in it? STFU then. I’m the daughter of someone who gave birth at 17. does that give me the right to act liek I know what being a teen mom is like? No fucking way!
Sex work is multifaceted. There are good parts and bad parts. If we talk about the bad parts you tun it against us. If we talk about the good parts we’re “glamorizing it”
JFC I was living it up. I got such a fucking rush from working. Once I got over the stigma in my head (took like one shift) it was great. There’s bad parts but I don’t feel comfortable sharing them with you since you’re a SWERF and are harassing me on a post where I keep telling people to leave me alone. Go make your own goddamn post. Fuck you.
And how DARE you take away my autonomy and ability to define when I was raped? Yeah I fucking was but it was a while before I started sex work. I was never raped at work. I was actually monogamous to my partner.
My ID said I was 18, and then I lied to customers that I was 21 once I worked in alcohol clubs when I actually was 18 (tho I was given fake drinks). How the fuck would they have known? I worked for my money. I didn’t want hand outs from strangers. I needed cash. So how dare you say they what they did wasn’t ok.
Yeah I’ve had bad experiences but I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world. It made me stronger. It made me tougher, and tbqh, I can’t relate to people who haven’t at least been through simple things. I can be sympathetic but I can’t understand their fucking cotton candy life.
holy fucking shit the replies on this are so gross where the fuck did you all come from?
i’m so sorry you’re dealing with these horrific people @lilitharcane you are so fabulous and i’m so constantly blown away by the mental gymnastics required to be a SWERF lmao
RIGHT?
No they came from the fact tumblr’s new search system is based on any word in your post so even untagged posts (like this one!!! no fucking tags!) can be found easily.
So what do SWERFS do? they look for sex workers posting in the SWERF tag LOOKING to harass them and antagonize us. They literally hate sex workers that much. ANd this post particularly irked them because it didn’t fit into their moral respectability politics with the last, and the first part I had the AUDACITY to admire sex workers.
SWERFs are the devil
