I KNOW you’re not new here, so your confusion confuses me. I mean, this is kind of their jam?

No fucking kidding. How about instead of bashing her for climbing herself out of the pits of hell, we fucking congratulate her for coming out on top.

Nah. He took it down and apologized in the niqab time...

what are the chances he loses hijab

That scene where the guy invites Robert Graysmith into his basement is petrifying.

“Let’s make it safe, and stop blaming the workers for a need that mostly straight white men created.”

Checked my cat’s DNA, half of her genes are cat, but the other half, not surprisingly are avocado.

I have a bit of a problem with this:

OK, you generation wins the “most totally fucked generation trophy”. You are given a forever pass now.

I have so many questions, so we can start here:

GenX representing here. We’re the Jan Brady of generations, sandwiched between two larger attention-sucking generations. Boomers gave birth to Millennials and raised them in their image, to the chagrin and consternation of GenX who had to first babysit then manage millennials in the workplace. Although tbh, they’re…

I just want you to know that GenX was fed the same bullshit Millenials were fed but we have been all but forgotten. Really, Millenials are just an extension of the broken paradigm that afflicted GenX. But no one talks about us anymore.

Geez, it’s almost as if the sex trade isn’t the feminist utopia that chill-girl feminists think it is.

Yay for sex trafficking!

It absolutely helps people being trafficked by eliminating a venue where it’s too easily manipulated and allows anonymity. Looking at the ads there’s no way to differentiate who is a willing/unwilling participant. Yes, it makes things harder for sex workers, but I think its a fair trade.

Do you work at craigslist? How do you know this?

Oh yeah. Sex workers who simulate rape are fighting rape culture.

Once all this kicked up I looked at backpage’s escort page and at least half appeared to be young Asian women, usually at some “spa” that boasts new girls arriving weekly. Either there’s a massive channel of girls being brought here, or (more likely) they’re just moved from location to location. I don’t know about…

Meh. I left my ex because he was on the personals section of CL. Feels like karmic justice to me.

I don’t follow the logic of how eliminating ads that were used by sex traffickers (and thereby reducing the revenue to be made by sex trafficking) is “doing nothing to help people being trafficked”.
It’s certainly not all that can (and should) be done, but how is it not a step in the right direction? Is there research…
