You do understand that no one here is for prohibition or criminalization. Just because you aren’t for legalization doesn’t mean you’re for either of those other things. You are stuck in binary mode dude.

The MRAs who are for decriminalization don’t call it decriminalization because what most of them who are at all interested in the subject want is access to something they don’t think exists yet: An industry that would make access to sex more equal, especially for men who can’t get it without paying. That’s what they…

Not one sentence in my post contains contempt for sex workers. You are proving my point that the commentariat is just posting the same one liners, over and over again, automatically. Normally I dismiss comments that are so disconnected from previous comments. But bizarrely this time it’s relevant!

That sounds like a fun belief you have there. I disagree with you therefore I’m part of the vast Christian conspiracy to kill fun. I thought it was because I want better for my daughter. That she should be valued for her mind and skills rather than be objectifed. That men who use such services are rather disgusting. I…

It is true I am irrational in my distaste for Kiwi culture, because I’ve never encountered such xenophobia and blithe ignorance anywhere in the world (not too mention the worst treatment of animals, on a par with China and Southeast Asia, imaginable). The treatment of animals is intrinsic to the treatment of women…

Do you not know how to use Kinja, like, at all? I just made a lengthy comment about my experiences in New Zealand, and the other places I’ve lived in comparison to it. And yes I have been to the states, too. I basically hate Angololandia so no Commonwealth country would be my first choice of places to dwell, but I’d…

I’ve seen MRAs bitching about criminalized hooking. They whine how women are only interested in money anyway (See: They living in mom’s basement with no job) and how sex is basically meaningless so why doesn’t anyone wanna bang them? They then tend to bitch how clearly oppressive Christian morals is preventing women…

Yeah cause being a stay at home mom is just the same as selling ass to a bunch of MRAs who objectify you. Really? You believe that?

But surely sex work isn’t alone in this regard.

New Zealand is probably the least civilised Anglophone country, though the other Four Eyes are surely giving them a run for the money. Have you ever been to New Zealand? It’s one of the ugliest societies on the planet, a shade away from an ISIS/L state in regards to women – the economy is about to topple so we’ll see…

excellent points

I don’t think .... you’re answering my post...because I never ever use the word empowerment, which comes from the objectivist sliver of 1980s Reaganomics and which now you know surprisingly hear falling from the lips of that great friend to women, Sheryl Sandberg.

To coerce someone means to obtain using threats or force

some make the free choice to participate in this work because they enjoy it,

Nope, try again.

Yeah, but people still hire 45 year old accountants. What will you do at that age? Not to be insulting. I seriously want to know.

There’s nothing wrong with sex workers

No it isn’t.

internalized misogyny is a nasty, nasty thing

I’ll never understand how some women can hate other women so much.
