good interview. this sounds really interesting and I’m gonna track it down.

I think it started before you submitted this comment.

I think this article overlooks a fair bit of information about Yang and his ideas. Mainly, that his UBI proposal does not replace any existing welfare programs. It stacks on top of all public assistance/benefits besides some of the “cash-like” ones (SNAP, TANF, etc.) which typically have monthly benefits much lower…

“Selling Women’s Bodies ..We’re Not Buying It.”

It’s not even that, but they literally paid men to film women without their consent in order to prevent exploitative men from taking advantage of women.

It’s already begun. Esther is truly braving the YangGang wrath here.

There are so many social programs that could help lessen the amount of sex workers if that is something people want. Why not focus on helping society rather than making things worse for vulnerable people. I don’t think sex work will ever go away but things could be done to make it safer. Most the young women that I…

Also these groups tend to be little more than “concerned citizen” middle to upper class White women who also tend to be “I’m not homophobic but” types.

Honestly, I find the idea that sex work is inherently and uniquely exploitative ridiculous. Because under capitalism, what work isn’t exploitative? Why is it more demeaning for a woman to make money off of sex than any other form of labor?

This group uses the same logic as “evict women who live with abusive boyfriends” like that would help.

Yang Gang is not even bothering. Yang is the ONLY guy who actually GETS IT!
Bernie said robots aren’t going to take our jobs and Yang is sounding alarmist. I have huge respect for Bernie, and truly love some of his policies, but wtf? None of the political candidates can grasp where we are. For example, nobody is…

It’s just weird. On the one hand, they say that sex work is exploitative; on the other hand, they proceed to exploit the women they say are being exploited to idk prove that it’s exploitative?

WTF? What’s next, raping women to expose rape culture?

Not buying that these are feminists in the least

This.. Thanks for saying exactly whats in my mind. Coming from the tech field myself and helping companies transform with AI, his freedom dividend makes absolute sense. He is also the only candidate who has a grasp of tech. Tech used by our govt is getting antiquated. Having someone with Yang’s perspective will be…

Are we sure Cancel Culture can’t be a good thing? I’d like to cancel these assholes, please.

It should be noted that there’s a huge overlap between groups like this (SWERFs) and TERFs. A quick perusal of their twitter feed found a retweet of an article discussing how dangerous allowing trans women to compete with other women in sports was.

Because if there’s anything feminism is about, it’s shaming women and limiting their choices. Great job, Not Buying It! 

100% agree this might be the worst smear article I have ever seen written. As a journalist of any sort you should be ashamed. Do some research.

How long will it be before the “Yang Gang” find this post and prove us wrong with memes and infographics?
