Ha! ooooh yeah, I was trying to figure out why he did that! Now it makes sense.

Oooooh snap! I didn't realize those were the rules!!! And that those of us who were actually born in Italy are not allowed to use Italian words that Americans can discern with zero effort.

You have to "over pronounce" words in Italian, otherwise you aren't speaking Italian. The vowels are pure. American English is laaaaazy.

No, it's not at all like sitting through an NAACP meeting and then getting up to talk about how awesome it is to be white, though. Use your superior empathy skills to understand what this person was really saying.

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.

That's my theory. :)

I'm confused by your reply.

I think there are a lot of closeted gay&bi guys out there.

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.
