That’s better than a wallet made of foreskin. (When you rub it, it turns into a briefcase.)

It’s true!
We should call them what they are: Rape slaves. Yes, it’s a horrible term, but we’re talking about a horrific institution which is not human trafficking or child solicitation, it is rape slavery. The important part is not to let yourself dehumanize the victims because the words make you uncomfortable.
Reading the update on the petition, I see that he was not nearly the first or the only celebrity to tweet this. In fact, his tweet is a word for word manual retweet of others. Now, I’m super happy that this is getting around and yes, Diddy is correct and this is an excellent cause, but let’s be real, this piece is…
I know. I went into this article thinking “Now what is he on about?”
Young boys are trafficked too, but that doesn’t mean that one particular slogan “should” refer to that. It’s fine for the highly prevalent, deeply gendered victimization of women and girls by men to be named and addressed specifically.
Haha. You’re hilarious. When you said you were “researching” I thought you actually did research. No, I have no internet links because I’m an actual researcher not a professional googler.
Get back to what? You’ve offered zero evidence for your own initial point.
No one is saying that boys aren’t exploited. The writer of the petition is female, so she was speaking to her own experiences, and asking for the elimination of a gender neutral term.
And it takes us back to that “potato” comment earlier, re: home-made porn or some such. (I see, of course, what you did there).

Thank you for that link; Andrew Vachss is the MAN. Who would have thought his Venn circle and Diddy’s had any overlap beyond ‘carbon-based biped?
Things I hate to admit (journalist here):
I’ve posted this here multiple times, but it’s worth repeating;
I’m starting to fall down this 1940’s hole, pun intended.

Ohhhhhh. I was thinking potatoes = delicious, so more potato = better porn? But apparently it is the opposite.
Potato?
And who kneads a yeast infection? Not me.
