Crow posted:It makes me so angry when people say, “We never hear from people who are happy doing child labor.” Well, that’s because they’re working. The activism privileges people who hated doing child labor, are no longer doing it, and have a job at a social service organization, for example, that trains them on how to speak to the media. We are hearing from those people quite a bit.

discipline posted:oh and for the record: I think prostitution should be decriminalized, but I think that pimps and johns should get the chair
sincere question: why do you hate johns to the point of wishing death on them, but defend troops

We have lived the demeaning, degrading violence that is prostitution – the same violence you tell the world is just ‘harmless consenting-adult fun’. You know that you can get away with telling much of the world that, because much of the world has not lived prostitution – but we have, and you know that we are engaged in accurately interpreting it and putting the truth of this oppression before the public, and that is exactly why you are so frightened of our voices. Every time you attack us you only put your own fear on display, and your enforced silence will never work on us; our days of being intimidated, coerced and compelled are over.
the social justice crowd sure likes to equate criticism and debate with being silenced. i assume its a result of being spoiled first world white people who can't handle the slightest bit of conflict healthily

Her point that anti-prostitution feminists ignore the actual experiences and opinions of sex workers.
The experiences of people who lack class consciousness is irrevocably tainted by their failure to understand of power structures.
A woman who "chooses" to shave her genital area is choosing to do so because of social expectation to do so, mostly coming from male consumers of porn. They are choosing to self modify to meet the expectations of a dominant culture. This makes their choice forced. For the same reason, anyone who picks up women at a bar is a rapist.
This applies to class as well. No one chooses to be a garbage man, but they may self rationalize that "choice" in the same way that a prostitute or stripper might.
Basically the lady writing this article is reactionary scum, a purveyor of rape culture and by the transitive property of rape, a rapist herself.
what's wrong with being a garbage man

getfiscal posted:the maoist internationalist movement had a period where they were like yup we've concluded that all sex is rape (which is obviously true). so like they started discussing what that would actually mean for themselves. and some maoist groups took the correct position, which is that revolutionaries should never have sex, ever, which is something i live by. but MIM was like umm lol no... no... okay... our position is that all sex is rape, but, like, some rape is okay, if you keep it monogamous. which is like animal farm level reasoning, which is about par for course for sexhavers.

There are some gaps in the data though, like which family members molested them, what prescription drug addictions they're doing porn to pay for. It also fails to mention that you're average pornstar has more PTSD than a troop who has served in Iraq or Afghanistan.
