do you really think there's any nuance the OP is missing by not watching those shows?

You talk about "sad, unfuckable guys" and imply that your "impression" is that dudes who engage sex workers hate interacting with women. Your anecdotes are valid but aren't really useful when talking about sex work as a whole.

How can we empower sex workers if we mock their clientele relentlessly?

Very very true. We can't empower sex workers while insulting the people who patronize them. One sort of requires the other.

All the months after that one?

Relax.

I wonder how many attractive white actresses have said the exact same thing Shailene Woodley said. "I just see people, not gender."

I do enjoy that their organization is based off of an Old Testament verse. I wonder if stoning your wife is allowed if she isn't a good "helper"?

I honestly couldn't tell if you were critical or supportive of the quote/organization in question, but I think the verse saying essentially that God created women to be men's helpers is a bit troubling.

I feel like this a very... sympathetic reading of: "The first thing God said when He created the first woman is that she was made as a helpmate to her husband."

I struggle every day trying to decide who's worse: up-front, loud, stupid racists, or "intellectuals" who mask their prejudices with big words and faulty-but-convincing-to-fools science.

this post has a fantastic words-to-laughs ratio. kudos!

But it's not the same - getting a tattoo is a choice and I think not immune to criticism.

The BFF bullshit is ridiculous. We are not 12 years old at summer camp, ffs.

The "BFF" shit is so fucking grating. We are not twelve.

It stinks of elitism, and many (though perhaps not you) of the comments here tacitly imply that they are so much smarter and so much more worldly than the poor brain dead Middle Americans who patronize these establishments. Describe the restaurants or the food however you like, but to publicly roll one's eyes at…

Thank you for so deftly proving my point.
