Honestly, a lot of porn the women scream like that, like they're in pain. I think it gets men hot to imagine they're so big and powerful that they're hurting the woman.

Yeah I think that's implied. I'm not gonna kick a guy who's trying to attack me in the balls and then stand there. I'm GTFO.

While certainly not voluntary sex workers, these were trafficked and prostituted women, and many if not most identified as prostitutes. And where did I suggest that one group represents the views of another? I am pointing out that there are inherent risks in the selling and purchasing of humans for sex, and that…

I am not advocating the criminalization of women and men who are sold and purchased for sex. I am saying that decriminalization protects those who sell and purchase said women and men, and this is what the research suggests leads to higher rates of violence, PTSD, rape, etc. when it is decriminalized across the board.

Decreasing the legal cost/risk of purchasing is what increases the demand. Decriminalization protects those who sell and purchase humans for sex. I am not advocating we criminalize the women and men being sold and purchased for sex. I am saying that decriminalizing protects those who sell and purchase said women and…

Aside from the women I've personally known and worked with, here's about 146 more:

You're reaching. Some sex workers want decriminalization. Some do not. And if you don't see a problem with everything I listed above, then good luck to you.

Decriminalization comes with its own downsides. It increases the demand, not only for sex workers, but for trafficked persons, as well as children. Higher demand = higher rates of rape, STDs, AIDS/HIV, violence, etc. I can dig up the links if you're interested.

I didn't say you were interested in creating drama or that you care how it makes him feel. And I think most women don't need to be told/informed to stay away from this douche donkey. He makes it pretty obvious how awful he is. Get the word out, fine, but we don't need to be educated on shit.

I think it's because dudes like this get off on articles about them, especially on a site like Jezebel, especially if it's critical. He's such a pathetic tool, he's not worth the attention.

Yeah that really bothered me, too.

Wrong. Saying it's stupid or idiotic minimizes it. He didn't say it because he lacks intelligence. What he said points to a much larger problem that needs to be named and addressed. Don't water it down by calling it idiotic.

Idiotic and offensive mean 2 different things.

It's not idiotic. It's incredibly offensive and speaks to the rape culture embedded in not just our culture, but in the police system. I.e., those intended to protect victims.

Agreed. It is a straight up violation.

I have heard we can have multiple "parts" (i.e. bodies) of our souls living at once; more than one lifetime at a time in other words. So, it could still be possible!

The first article sounds similar to the definition I posted earlier: normal/tipsy kinda drunk yes = yes; smashed/slurring drunk = can't consent. The second article, well, they raise a good point. I guess don't have sex with "heavy drinkers"/alcoholics you just met who might be more impaired than you realize?

I don't know what the legal definition is but my understanding is normal drunk/had one too many/tipsy yes = yes. Smashed, barely standing, incoherent drunk = can't give consent. Makes sense to me.

If someone verbalized their consent while drunk, they weren't too drunk to consent, and they consented to the sex; there would be no rape and no trial.

That's true. There are those who want to get rid of it all together. I guess we all fall somewhere on the spectrum in between wanting to erase the work and denying it abuse/rape happened in order to "preserve" the work.
