Yeah, that’s nonsense. I feel very much the same about “white feminism”. The subset of awful women this pejorative refers to has nothing to do with *actual* feminism and now people are just throwing it around as a silencing tool. This is why it’s so important to keep reminding people what feminism is and isn’t.…

Hear hear. No one wants to make sacrifices in the name of feminism any more. Distorting it by making it about personal choice allows a person to avoid taking a stand on the things that might make life uncomfortable. Imagine if Alice Paul, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Gloria Steinem,  Belle Hooks, or any…

absolutely a sex worker can be a feminist. but i don’t think it is accurate to say sex work (as it exists today, for most of the people who participate in it) is feminist or based in feminist principles. i call myself a feminist and yet i do things that i wouldn’t call feminist (like wear make-up.) we all have to live…

no one is saying people shouldn’t be allowed to be sex workers. i actually support the legalisation of sex work because it makes sex work safer and helps fight trafficking when it is legal and regulated.

i’m disabled and live below the poverty line. sometimes i struggle and have to go without food. i would never consider sex work. i just don’t see how anyone can call it feminist as things are now in our culture.

These posts are so much more eloquent than I can hope to be on this topic. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

yeah, but you can’t deny that selling your body is literally objectifying and commodifying your body in a patriarchal culture. that’s not very feminist, is it?

“In porn, the style of the bodies, the current style for pubic hair, the fake tits, the role playing, the fakery, the way porn is categorized like cuts of meat: “Bit Tits,” “MILF,” “Schoolgirl,” “Barely Legal,” “Black Girls” —-it’s not just about free expression of sexuality. It’s about coloring within the lines, and…

“What about all workers in sex industry(porn producers, porn actresses)? Are they anti-feminist simply because of their chosen​ profession?”

I just read Joanna’s satire article about taking the subway, and so I have to ask: is this also meant as satire?

Don’t worry, you aren’t missing out. I’m a straight guy too and have been twice for bachelor parties and once for work. I can definitively say it doesn’t even make you horny. And watch out, when your cell phone dies you’re really fucked because there is nothing else to do inside a strip club.

I’m going to have to agree with you. I got dragged to a club for a friend’s birthday. It was so damn awkward and uncomfortable. The whole thing was pretend. Women pretending to want to be there, trying to pretend she doesn’t hate her customers with every fiber of her being. While the men pretend that she does want…

“Jacq tells me that since it’s her job to at least appear to pander to men”

I don’t think that experiencing bill payment at the “granular level” is as romantic or as adventurous as you paint it.

Amen. It’s like paying to crank my frustration to 11. And then go home to my left hand who is never happy to see me. #DrStrangelove

Ya know, I’m a straight guy and I’ve never even had the slightest urge to go to a strip club. I just don’t see the fun in paying to get horny.

Can you please explain to me the logic behind comparing consensual sex between two people to throwing money and hollering at naked women?

It’s like Tina Horn just came in here and dropped a press release for “Striptastic” and Tina’s two books.

Jacq has not only created a celebration of her project, but a pop-up feminist strip club, where women can celebrate and support one another.

Feminists have a strange relationship with sex workers.
