The reason why a lot of us are anti sex work is also because we’re anti capitalism. I don’t know why you think we believe these things are mutually exclusive when we believe they’re inherently related.

I don’t think you’re understanding this completely. I work with anti-sex work groups (Object, UK based) but being anti sex work doesn’t mean being anti sex worker. We make a point to SUPPORT sex workers. The laws we support don’t punish the sex workers. They punish the johns. Our campaigns are NEVER about harming sex…

omfg...you’re posting a story about Stoya from Vice to demonstrate that sex work is a feminist career move? Please. Try this, from the Coalition Against Trafficking Women: http://www.catwinternational.org/Home/Article/5…

There needs to be. A set of commandments. If you are not acting in the best interest of women, you’re not a feminist – it’s actually pretty basic. If you’re a third waver toeing the bro line of “sex work is empowering / Belle Knox is cool and fun / I want a guy to tie me up and jizz in my face” you’re not a feminist,…

Yeah, I’m an anti-sex work, anti-pornography radfem. I don’t think that with prevailing social attitudes towards women, sex work can empower women.

I don’t believe sex workers are immoral or bad people. I do believe that sex work is terrible for most women. And I sure as hell am a feminist.

I am an over-50 feminist. I remember when getting the world to understand that sex work and pornography was deeply harmful to women was a major goal for feminists. I still very, very strongly believe this. I also believe that sex workers should be treated with dignity and respect and not shamed. Of course, sex workers…

Legalisation doesnt work. Sex trafficking has risen in Amsterdam and the Netherlands in general. Windows are being closed b/c of forced prostitution going on in them. There is organized crime, window exploiters that dont stick to business regulations etc. Large black market, lots of Dutch girls forced into…

The using part is at the core of our difference. Sex is to be had, not used, in my view.

No. Real feminists are against sex work.

Have you watched the documentary 'Advanced Style'? It's on Netflix, you will love it.

One of the things I miss most about NYC is the sheer frequency running into people in their 60's through 90's dressed in funky fashions attending parties, art gallery openings, shows, etc.. It seems like everywhere else people turn boring at 40.

Amazed that someone in fashion stated that it's preferable to be happy than fashionable. She won me with that one.

This is not necessary

Holy Fuck you're right. Maybe he was running towards a loaded cannon. Better put 8 rounds in him just be sure.

Yeah. She seemed very scared of them, like they would over-love her or something. It was kinda sad to watch.

Agreed. Her tone when addressing him was another indicator that it wasn’t gonna work. There’s been this relationship study of what one thing destroys a relationship. And it’s not infidelity. Miscommunication. Anger. Nope. It’s contempt. When someone has contempt and expresses it on a routine basis toward their…

This is right on. I feel like she and I have very similar issues - we were both “raised by wolves” as she put it once. I too am always waiting for the other shoe to drop because I’m so used to things ending badly or being hugely disappointed by pretty much everyone in my life. It can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.…

I don’t think adults do understand anymore. Our emotion and our control parts of our brian are in wack. Our risk reward process are complete. We have a weath of social experiance cusioning us - along with amny regrets and mistakes. Adults rarely remember what it’s like, or even understand wha tit’s like, to have less…
