Whether you think you’re selling sex voluntarily or not (hint: still exploited), you are still serving men and validating patriarchy, sexism, misogyny and violence towards women.
Hint: You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.
Anybody in any industry is going to potentially be “serving” men.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a astronaut, writer, retail worker, etc.
At some point you’ll likely be under the authority of a man.
Posting ignorant things like this is a prime example of sexism and misogyny.
Not all clients are men.
Plenty of women are interested in the services of both men and women.
Trying to shame female sex workers while claiming to be a feminist is literally moronic. You can’t just be a feminist when it’s convenient.
You telling a woman in any way how she can use her body is misogyny.
Men aren’t told how they should handle their bodies or told their being exploited because they’re comfortable in their sexual nature.
Women being told they asked to be rape is violence against women.
Women being sexually harassed but unable to report it due to fear of losing their job is violence against women.
Trans women being murdered strictly for being trans is violence against women.
Defunding critical health care sources for lower income areas such as Planned Parenthood is violence against women.
Sex workers being physically and emotionally harassed by law enforcement is violence against women.
You telling a woman how to live her life is violence against women,
Being a sex worker is not.
Your body = Your Rules
Our bodies = Our rules.
I would suggest getting off your high horse and taking time to actually educate yourself on the issues before speaking on things you clearly know nothing about.
That’s interesting you think you know who I am? Have you ever even talked to former “sex workers” that FIGHT AGAINST THIS EXPLOITATIVE INDUSTRY? Do you even know any?
Let me breakdown your stupidity for you (lack of education sure does stifle some people):
“Anybody in any industry is going to potentially be “serving” men. It doesn’t matter if you’re a astronaut, writer, retail worker, etc.At some point you’ll likely be under the authority of a man.”
Prostitution is the arguably the world’s oldest profession, women throughout time have had to sexually service men, you are not doing anything groundbreaking or feminist (even if you think your illusion of choice changes this core systematic aspect).
Women have never, throughout history, been able to be astronauts, doctors and so forth. These are careers that have always been closed off to women. The very fact that these positions are now filled by women is a step in EQUALITY. When women reach high positions in their field, their very act undermines patriarchy and sexism. They do not serve men, they serve (all) people and society.
There is no high level of prostitution you can reach to change the fact that you service men. At best, you will be a MADAM that exploits other women FOR MEN.
“Not all clients are men. Plenty of women are interested in the services of both men and women.”
LOL do you even know the statistics on johns and prostitutes? If you seriously don’t think that the overwhelming majority of customers are men and the overwhelming gender of prostitutes are women, you’re too delusional to even talk with. I suggest you look up those stats yourself and do some research.
“You telling a woman in any way how she can use her body is misogyny. Men aren’t told how they should handle their bodies or told their being exploited because they’re comfortable in their sexual nature.”
Can you even define misogyny? It doesn’t seem like you understand what it is?
I’m not telling you how you can use your body, do whatever the fk you want lol you’re still harming yourself and validating an exploitative and dangerous sex industry that harms women.
A few boys can be exploited in the sex industry too, they grow up to be men that can’t escape the “sex work” = “sexual slavery”
(watch the kidnapped and exploited children that serve the same industry you’re in , youtube the video on “Boystown” and the “Franklin coverup”) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQHrbJPhus4
and if some men were here validating that same industry as righteous and not harmful, I’d be telling them the same thing lol.
But the subaltern in the sex industry does not get to speak. The children in Boystown do not get to speak. You’re here instead speaking for them, SAYING THE SAME INDUSTRY THAT EXPLOITS, KIDNAPS AND RAPES THEM IS OK.
“Being a sex worker is not.Your body = Your RulesOur bodies = Our rules”
What you do affects OTHER people and society, it’s not just YOUR body when you harm others with your words that validate rapists and an exploitative sex industry. You just THINK it’s “your” rules, but it’s not, it’s the same rules it’s always been, wake the fk up.
Your stats are bad, the former sex workers you’re talking about are mostly liars, I know trafficking survivors who fight for decrim, and equality will come when more women patronize sex workers, not when fewer men do
I’ll bet none of you consider that some of the tumblr blogs you see, ones that say things like “Daddy and his little princess” or “Daddy and his little girl” aren’t run by women BUT MEN pretending to be “sex workers”.
Do you know how to do a reverse image search? Lots of the tumblr blogs you see ARE FAKE, RUN BY MEN TRYING TO GLAMORIZE “SUGAR BOWL” LIFESTYLE TO YOU. THEY LURE TEENAGERS INTO SEX WORK ON THIS SITE.
Did you just call the subalterned and exploited “sex workers” that finally speak as “liars”? Because being trafficked and exploited in this rape culture, exploitative, sex industry is so impossible? What a disturbing person you are.
Wtf are you even rambling about?
“ equality will come when more women patronize sex workers, not when fewer men do” ???
So sexism and rape culture is something to be solved by women? LOLOLOL?
You need to take a class on “critical thinking skills”.
* Decriminalizing “sex work” simultaneously validates the industry,validates that it’s OK FOR MEN TO BUY SEX AND BUY WOMEN’S BODIES. That’s the problem. If selling sex if not a crime, is buying sex a crime?
Everytime the authorities find a sex transaction, they should criminalize the male for exploiting the woman and create a support system for the exploited woman to find other means to live and get help for the mental suffering they’ve endured. Psychological counseling, drug counseling and access to other jobs and careers.
You justifying rape culture, sexism, and misogyny helps no one.
I’m a prodomme, and yeah gross dudes do gross shit, most sex workers? Not that easily fooled, you have to be tough to do this job. You need to take a class on critical thinking, and stop being such a disgusting whorephobic monster. You don’t give a shit about sex workers, most of us (outside of studies run by SWERFs with an agenda) are fine. We don’t sell our bodies, we sell a service, decrim is the ONLY way to protect us from rape, abuse, trafficking and massive exploitation, you drive us underground and endanger us by keeping our work criminalized.
I mean honestly, I’m a commie, I’m for the complete elimination of market economies and the act of buying and selling, but even after the revolution there will be people like me, whose societal contribution is by helping people work through their sexual issues and desires.
You justify rape culture, misogyny, and violence against women, you blame men’s actions on their ability to pay women for sex, as if somehow that’s what causes their behavior. You’re blaming women for men’s violence.
Oh, now you’re trying to lie some more? Where did I call you a whore again? What a disgusting liar.
Yeah a service BASED ON YOUR (female) BODIES (wtf? lmao), it’s funny, it’s like you don’t know that there are countries where sex work is not a crime, and guess what? WOMEN ARE STILL BEING EXPLOITED EVEN WHEN ITS NOT A CRIME.
Wtf are you going off on communism now lol.
Your last paragraph is so disjunct and wrong it’s hilarious to look at. I don’t blame women for men’s violence, they’re going to be violent either way but it sure doesn’t help when you validate it and support that industry, when you say that when every time a man buys your body, it’s just YOUR CHOICE! You can’t escape being exploited within that kind of specific transaction that at the core, is subjugating you.
How interesting you take men pretending to be sex workers to lure and brainwash underage girls here as merely “gross dudes do gross shit.” RATHER THAN A CRIME.
Seriously, WTF lol. Talk about normalizing rape culture. Look in the mirror and wake up!
Do I buy my plumber’s body when I pay him to fix my drains, not joking, serious question? Also I’m pretty sure teenage girls are smarter than you’re giving them credit for, but nah, gross dudes being gross definitely deserves to be treated as a crime (identity theft comes to mind) but it doesn’t mean it’s effective
