Discussing work with sex workers isn’t the same as advocating for it. I've never seen a blog post say quit your day job and do sex work. 

Because she has a new identity and the details of her case are a) not widely known outside of North America, and b) she comes up as a felon who has served their time in full and has not reoffended.

Don’t get me wrong, she is the devil. She was also an abused woman. She was an awful trash bag who was abused by an even…

If you can’t figure out whether or not it’s sarcasm, I can’t really help you.

It’s not as simple as “patriarchal stereotypes of women” working in Homolka’s favor. She was confident that the most damning evidence against her - a video of her actively participating in the crimes - hadn’t yet been found. By the time it was discovered, the deal had been made and she couldn’t be re-tried.

Listen, he had three or four daughters and then realized rape is bad. Why can’t you people understand that and just let it go?

It really reminded me of how people who go through addiction treatment are encouraged to get a plant, so they have something to look after.

Is that interesting?

Why wouldn’t they? According to her home country, she did her time and is now washed clean of her crimes.

“Sexual needs” is such a horrible, idiotic, misogynistic term that is exclusively applied to straight men. Even and especially straight men who are violent towards women, it turns out. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard an authority figure use that term in connection with women or LGBT people.

Ugh, why can’t victims of sexual assault just talk about sexual assault at a time that’s more convenient for me as a person who’s never experienced it, such as never? Why must I be forced to consider the humanity of others? When will this nightmare end for me?

How is someone who murdered his wife in 2006 already free in 2020? I’m all about prison as a rehabilitative process but it does seem like a murder sentence should be older than a pubescent child.

Right?! Misogyny, rape, and violence toward women ARE NOT BECAUSE OF FUCKING BLUE BALLS. Getting laid doesn’t magically turn men into nice guys! IT IS NOT SEX WORKERS’ JOBS TO MAGICALLY DEFUSE DANGEROUS MEN. Jesus fucking Christ.

Not all parents are in a position to know the laws or to be able to provide enough for working age kids to quit their jobs.

Wait Wait, so 2004 murder was his second conviction for a violent crime, and he was deemed a moderate risk!?! 

Ya, that isn’t a solution. An incels problem is not the lack of sex that is a symptom, an incels problem is the profound self-loathing and misplaced anger that drives people away from them. Making them pay for sex wont do anything, it might even make it worse. The only way to help an incel move on is to admit to…

Honestly, this is also why I get angry when people suggest that the way to deal with incels is to send them to sex workers. Sex workers are human beings performing a service; we shouldn’t condone having misogynists anywhere near them. Can you imagine if men did this to other service workers too? Would you take your…

So.... $100 per violation? Chump change for a corporation like Chipotle. If we actually want things to change these penalties have to be way bigger. 

Because when teenagers aren’t aware of what the child labor laws say, it’s really easy for companies to take advantage of that. I had a job as a teenager that engaged in some really, really illegal practices but since I was 17, it was pre-internet, and nobody had ever told me what the child labor laws entailed, I just…

Restaurants in the US break all kinds of labor laws. Long shifts, no breaks, work but clock out early to avoid overtime, etc. At least that was my experience in the world of high end luxury restaurant service: P.F. Chang's! (That's a joke! Well, not the first part).

The only surprising thing here is that they have 50 Massachusetts locations. Who the hell is even eating that slop?
