don’t let jez fool you - he’s a moron in wolf’s clothing.

Dude did you even read any of her books? Her essays in the 70’s & 80’s? I’m full of shit? Educate yourself fool. “in the typically ignorant way of cis white people”? If cis white people go around saying shit like this, then they’re the absolute worst too. I was a 19 yr old black girl with my 30 year old stepmother who…

Yeah, you’re not wrong about it being extremely dicey in Europe. I live in Europe ( well, the UK) and it’s not all hearts and fun where it’s legal. It also increases harassment for women who aren’t sex workers if they live or work near red lightdistricts. Furthermore, Amsterdam’s red light district is seedy as hell. I…

That is most likely a very privileged subset of prostitutes. All power to them. I’m all for people doing what they want to do, but what percentage of sex workers are in a position to choose?

The reason why a lot of us are anti sex work is also because we’re anti capitalism. I don’t know why you think we believe these things are mutually exclusive when we believe they’re inherently related.

Plenty of feminists are against sex work. The Netherlands did everything “right” from the pro-legalization perspective and still has a significant trafficking problem (not to be all “teh menz also sufferz!”, but there’s a particular problem with trafficked male sex workers and a lack of anything like an infrastructure…

This not a valid analogy, because both genders and people of all ages work publicly in the food service industry. The terrible conditions are a result of late capitalism more than gender traitorism.

Yeah, I’m an anti-sex work, anti-pornography radfem. I don’t think that with prevailing social attitudes towards women, sex work can empower women.

How did it do more harm than good? It hurt one lady’s feelings? It inhibited people?

Legalisation doesnt work. Sex trafficking has risen in Amsterdam and the Netherlands in general. Windows are being closed b/c of forced prostitution going on in them. There is organized crime, window exploiters that dont stick to business regulations etc. Large black market, lots of Dutch girls forced into…

He's a lot saner than he was, no? He quit drinking, mostly stopped getting into fights with randos. He looks a lot happier,etc. Seems like he's a lot happier now & like he's genuinely in love with Kim

Well...Rodney king was caught on video way back in 1990 getting beat by four officers with clubs and they *still* got off. That was 25 yrs ago and was a big deal, but yet police brutality is still going on. Technology is such an important first step but like so many cases even this year, things tend to fall apart…

Same here. All these BS stories about how young people and millenials are more tolerant, less racist than older folk have always been fiction perpetuated by the media. Young people are just as fucking racist - and open in their racism - as older people are.

It’s hilarious to me that people are uninformed enough (and forgetful enough) to make that comparison, because for it to make sense you have to make the completely ridiculous assumption that if Hillary Clinton were in power, the U.S. military would be more restrained, when her entire career and everything she’s said…

So, you’re complaining about the drone war . . . but you’re straining to excuse Hillary Clinton’s wrongdoing. Lol, kid, and you probably don’t even understand why that’s ironic.

The only possible reasons someone could excuse the email issue are reflexive support for her or incoherent political views resulting from total ignorance or misunderstanding of politics and current events. I apologize for assuming the former.

Huh. Well, as a life-long democrat I’m pretty disappointed that people are still so willing to reflexively defend this jackass, just like they did her husband. There’s no excuse for the email thing, and it would be frankly ridiculous to give her a pass and pretend it was on the up-and-up after she took so much care to…

I did not know that. I just know it’s blonde and pretty and I like it.

Why wouldn’t he date her, though? She’s blandly beautiful, she’s funny, and seemingly self-aware. She’s just introverted, which translates into ice queen for some.

..... have you seen her?
