can’t be pro sex worker and anti sex work tho sorry

Totally can be tho sorry, I can support women who engage in sex work, as I do not fault women for doing what they need to do to get by in this world, but I sure as hell can judge the men that profit off them or who have no qualms about sleeping with a woman who does not want to sleep with them. See, quite simple really. 

Unless you turn that into a broader critique of capitalism, it’s a garbage critique

Also like once upon a time I was one of those people who was really dismissive of theory

And then I started reading theory and like… it gave me so many incredible and nuanced ways to describe my situation and the world around me, and gave me so many frameworks for analyzing situations and what not… that I can only say… read theory, and like I know academic language is dense and a pain in the ass sometimes, but like, once you get through the layer of dense academic language it’s like reading the secrets the bourgeoisie have been trying to keep from you all your life.
