Why would it be a premium? I would argue that the potential for arrest, loss of career/family, etc. makes for a higher premium on the black market. 

Your assertion is that people in a market with no legal options must completely abstain in order to meet your moral threshold. Was that the case with weed legalization? 

I like your perspective, but I disagree that these people inherently would not and do not patronize legal, safe, regulated sex workers when and where they are able. 

Seriously, you gotta open that food up, take a big shit in it, close it back up all nice and proper, and tuck it into his little turtle lap. Constant eye contact.

I have a hard time agreeing there is “consent” as soon as money starts changing hands.

Well, no, obviously it’s not the goal of current legislators, I meant it usually seems to be more or less “our” goal, and the tone of this article is pretty “get the clients” so I’m wondering if that attitude is counter-productive. Again, though, it’s an extremely complex issue and I’m just putting it out there for…

I don’t pretend to have all the answers in this arena, but I often feel like if the goal is a legal, safe, and well-regulated sex work industry then this attitude of “bring down the johns” isn’t necessarily the most productive. Bring down the pimps and traffickers, yes, but aren’t the johns a necessary part of a…

Contempt of court is a) a civil infraction and b) under the jurisdiction of that specific judge. This judge can recommend charges, but it’s up to the DA to pursue. 

In a racist society, all the rules exist for the purpose of selective enforcement. 

Republican priorities, ranked:

Fascists protect other fascists. Shocking.

It’s so fitting that this phony ass nation gets a spray-tan Hitler, a turtle-mouthed Paul von Hindenburg, and ubermenschen soldiers carrying tiki torches to bring about its great disgrace. 

For everyone wondering how a gay latinx man votes for Trump: Trumpism says that your worst self is your preferred self. It is profoundly lazy and egotistical. That’s why it is the future of this broken-ass country. 

I’m not sure 100 million people can be “voted into submission,” though. Especially with the way rural areas are weighted in national elections, and with how far right we’ve already been pushed. To undo this damage will require drastic action that will likely galvanize resistance to it. Republican congresspeople have…

Oh, come on, he’d also give them that big, wet-brained thumbs-up! 

Trumpism says that your worst self is not only OK, it is your best self. It is specifically attractive to terrible people, and encourages the worst impulses of the weak and fearful. And they make up around 38% of the population of this country. I don’t know how you teach 100 million people to value knowledge,…

So when Flake, Murkowski, Collins, and Manchin had their little meeting, they figured out that Manchin would be covering for Murkowski, and Collins doesn’t actually care about appearing to care about women? Good to know, I guess.

Actually, these dipshits have pretty much gotten LEAs protected class status. It’s vile and just serves to emphasize that they value white supremacy above all else. 

Somebody for real owes me money for that header picture of me and my burgundy TL.
