So are the white strippers who are more in demand at the fancier clubs striking? If not, then this movement has no leverage. An action like this needs solidarity from the privileged group.

So the men’s shitty behavior is somehow the women’s fault? Fuck clean off with that, you dolt.

Really?
If a non-single man has entered into a social contract with his partner that he will not visit strippers, and then he DOES visit strippers and make use of their services, that’s all on that dude and literally no one else. Feel about sex workers (and people who pay them for their time) however you want I guess…

Blah Blah Blah

You’re right, and this site should “open the door” for the shit ton of black women they banned starting with battymamzelle and Ms. Jenkins

What in the fuck are you going on about?

Boy this comment section sure is sparse. I guess that’s what happens when you ban all the black commenters.

First of all, HELL YES to stripper and sex worker rights.

TRUE SCIENCE FACT: President Trump is more closely related to a blobfish than a blobfish is related to a shark.

Sure, makes sense, he knows they are all laughing at him for how well done he likes his meat.

Definitely read The Female Eunuch. It’s as relevant now - even more so - as it was in the late 60s. In linking inevitable patriarchy inevitably to capitalism, and arguing that if the two are inextricably linked, we have to fight the capitalist forces that keep us all down, there is a line it that has always stuck with…

The thing that annoys me the most about the “But why didn’t you just” argument is that by insisting there was an action and you just didn’t perform it, it completely holds victims responsible for their own rapes. So, the strong ones who don’t freeze don’t get raped, the silly weak ones who forgot to go for the balls…

One might say her opinion is not particularly germane to the discussion.

Turf the TERFs. Seriously. Far too many second wavers seem to think equality is obtained by aping the worst characteristics of patriarchal culture. “Be tough.” “Suffer in silence.” “That’s the price you pay.” “I had to do it so you should too.”

Greer can just fuck off. While she was “progressive” decades ago all she is now is another embittered TERF (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist) who’s upset her version of feminism which is pretty much “suffer in silence because that makes you strong like the men”has thankfully fallen out of fashion.

I want this too - if their physical, mental, economic and social well-being wouldn’t be threatened by reacting immediately. Which unfortunately almost never is the case. Even when they “react” later, there is almost always a price for the victim to pay.

Yeah...no. Taking a class to learn how to comfortably perform a common type of acting scene is not like getting a job as a stripper. Doing a sex scene takes specific choreography and needs to be approached professionally as well as with the proper mindset; you have to figure out how to get comfortable doing something…

Seriously. Weinstein should not be the benchmark that divides acceptable vs unacceptable behavior. There are a lot of other things men do that aren’t clearly rape or sexual assault, but still contribute to a culture that enables widespread rape and sexual assault.

that’s not what they (and we) are saying, though. they’re NOT giving men like james franco and aziz and louis c.k. a pass because they’re not weinstein.

JFC, stop using Weinstein as some sort of standard to measure terrible behavior. When you do that, the initial reaction will be, “Oh no, not like that,” which downplays the original behavior in question and further contributes to this problem.
