Actually, you really are.

The first step is recognizing that you are the problem. Now start fixing it.

Thank you. All I know is that I’ve been reading Jezebel for years and every. fucking. time. there’s a piece on (full service) sex work, I feel like I’m screaming into a void while a bunch of self-righteous wanna-be heroes talk *about* us (and what they think is good for us, which has been proven time and time again…

You are so goddamn insulting. We’re interchangeable with robots? You objectify sex workers more than any client I’ve ever met.

What you don’t understand (or refuse to research and learn about) is that criminalization in all its forms disproportionately hurts the most vulnerable sexworkers.

But yeah, go ahead and demonize me. I’m just a whore, how could I possibly care about people who sell sex or understand their situation and how the law…

GOD I am so FUCKING tired of coming here to comment on articles about sex work but never fucking being heard because Kinja doesn’t think I deserve to participate in a conversation about work I do and policy that directly affects me and many of the people I know. The internet is really the only place I get to talk…

Do you know how huge the rescue industry is? How much money goes to anti-sex-trafficking NGOs? Do you know lucrative hot sex-trafficking-victim memoirs are, and how much the lecture circuit will pay for good trauma porn in the form of a tragic story of a “fallen woman”? Please.

Not to mention the fact that there are…

Would you sincerely like to know why the Nordic model is not only regressive, but dangerous to sex workers? Because if so, I will explain it to you. If you’d rather not hear from an actual sex worker who is educated on the topic, then your opinion (which is based entirely on misinformation and ignorance of how the…

Well, you’ve either never done consensual sex work, or you’ve never been raped.

Whichever it is, you don’t get to compare (or conflate) the two.

There are tons on you can talk to. Start with Twitter. Or try Googling their blogs. This is the internet; there’s no excuse for saying you’d “love to have conversations” with people who know better than you do and then NOT HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS.

Why do you insist on not listening to the many, many, many sex workers (former and current) and former trafficking victims that have explained why the Nordic model endangers those of us doing this work? We’re not making this up. The Nordic model is flawed, forces sex work underground, and disproportionately endangers…

As a society we already don’t teach our kids about consent or caring about their partner’s pleasure.

So when feminists and Amnesty International itself were promoting the exact same approach Carter is until just recently, were they also “using [their] platform to help sex workers into an early grave?”

Thank god.

Today I re-discovered the secret of using this as primer when I found a tube in a drawer. I bought a bunch off Amazon a few years back when I first learned of its super-cheap yet ultra-magical priming powers and somehow forgot all about it for like a year.

Extra dirty wet gin martini on the rocks. And yes, I have to be that specific, because for some reason a lot of people default to vodka + a drop of vermouth + 1 olive and a drop of brine = dirty martini. I guess I’m the odd one out re: preference for gin and lots of vermouth. Also me + martini glass = accident waiting…

And just to confirm your assumptions: yeah, the world is scary when you’re not a big person. I’m 5’4” with a small build. My wrists look like those in the pic. Whenever someone is acting even remotely threatening to me, I’m reminded of the fact that most people outsize me, and since I’m not secretly a badass kickboxer…

On the plus side (lol, punny but unintended) there’s a lot of research indicating that heavier people have a much lower rate of osteoporosis.

And to that, the entire world replies, “Who gives a shit what David Spade thinks?”

How embarrassing for him. MYOB, has-been.

Wow, what a shitty thing to say right after someone tells you they’re a rape survivor.

Most people in who do transactional sex move around of their own free will not because they are being exploited, but because they go where the money is.

I swear, this has devolved into a pissing contest between “experts” on trafficking stereotypes and the plot of Taken.
