To be clear, people aren’t just more “offended by everything.” This is another one of those phrases that undermines the fact that colorism/featurism is an apparatus of white supremacy that has existed LONG before we had keyboards to communicate this.

This is not an “all or nothing at all” situation we are speaking about here. We are legion ya dig, there isn’t some sort of finite well of representation, but you would think so based on the way things currently are. It’s not a seesaw of colour where by if we suddenly start to show more diversity then light skinned…

I absolutely believe that decriminalization is vital for sex workers and that no one should ever be arrested, prosecuted, imprisoned or anything else for doing any sort of sex work, unless it’s illegal in other ways. I also think that decriminalization isn’t some easy presto solution where there still aren’t issues…
Are children regularly in the habit of selling their dinner providing services? Doubtful. You can handwave all you want, but sex work has unique circumstances and issues that are not shared by anyone who simply provides services. It’s not fucking anti-sex work to point that out and want to discuss and address ALL of…
Somehow I don’t think you’d be cool with calling the rape of a sex worker “theft of goods and services,” so you already don’t agree with your own words.
And yet, you’d never call the rape of a sex worker “theft of goods and services.”
Hey, know who also spoke out against Amnesty’s proposal? ACTUAL SEX WORKERS. Why, it’s almost like this is a complex issue with no easy answers! Unless you think they’re jealous too? Ooh, that’s a toughie, isn’t it? Having to pit your pro-sex worker ideals against your nasty judgment of women based on what you presume…
I probably feel the same way as you do about this issue, but I doubt the discrepency between the genders is mostly due to men somehow being more just or sex positive. A lot of people disapprove of sex work period, and some people only approve of it because they’re consumers or potential consumers, rather than on moral…
Well, but there’s consenting to something because you want to have sex with people for money (and if you do, great! You do you!) and consenting to something because you’re poor, or uneducated, or feeding an addition, or whatever and it’s the only prospect you have for making money. Is that actually consent and is that…
No, I don’t.
Leslie Jones has the insight of a fly. Being black does not mean you cant have a dumb AF opinion about black stuff.
Both their characters, thirty years apart, are a pattern.
Yeah, because “I bet I know what you’ll say before you say it” is such great discourse, deserving of nothing but the utmost respect and care.
Point out where I said she didn’t have any.
It’s 2016.
Keep making excuses. It’s all just okay.
LOL, who said it’s Leslie’s fault? I don’t know who you’re arguing with at this point, but it’s not me.
And Zoe Saldana doesn’t see a problem with playing Nina Simone in a wig, prosthetic nose and blackface.
