Ok, here’s a test for all the purported “#sexpositive” “feminists”. Y’all despise “moralistic” views of sexuality, huh? You think sex should be commodified and prostitution should be a job like therapy or tutoring?

Why are we clutching our pearls over “#SexualHarassment”? Why even have this #MeToo shit? What makes sexual harassment any different or worse than all other forms of harassment? What makes grabbing pussies any worse than grabbing someone’s arm? And at that...

What’s wrong with some dude asking his intern to blow him? There’s nothing wrong with asking to make coffee or deliver papers. Isn’t it “just work”? #BlowJobsAreRealJobs, eh? And at that, if prostitution is fully decriminalized, some creep going around asking women to suck his

dick ain’t sexual harassment, it’s a job offer. Is this the world you want? Where women are turned into vending machines for sex? If one class of women are up for sale, that’s how we all are viewed. Look at fucking Germany. As a matter of fact, low-income women are having their

Welfare benefits cut if they refuse to go to brothels. It’s perfectly legitimate, as they’re choosing to turn down potential jobs, right? Coercing poor women into sleeping with strange men is perfectly fine, no less objectionable than poor people having to work at McDonalds?

Why are ya clutching your pearls over a “redistribution of sex”? Aren’t you arguing that sex SHOULD be a commodity? What’s wrong with telling incels to go to brothels? Isn’t it like telling depressed people to go to a therapist? #SexWorkIsWork?

They want a service, and it is the job of “sex workers” to provide it. What’s the difference? Are ya being whorephobic? 😑

And if “sex work” is so “empowering”, why aren’t more men going into it (as prostitutes, not as pimps)? 80% of prostituted people are female. There are niches for male “sex workers”, but we all know that women are the face of the industry, and they are disproportionately poor,

of color, or marginalized in some other way. If something is empowering, then the people in power, not the people with the least power, will be doing it.
And how about the link between “consensual seks wurk” and trafficking?

And how decriminalization and “#SexWorkersRights” haven’t done shit to stop the violence and abuse? Despite the “empowerment” rhetoric trying to normalize it, it seems most people with an option won’t touch “sex work” with a

ten foot pole. Many prostitutes in Germany and the Netherlands aren’t even citizens— they’re brought in, whether by “choice” or not, from the Eastern European countries and spots in Africa and Asia. Don’t immigrants always take the worse jobs? 🤔

Watch what will happen in the Netherlands and Germany when they try to force men into brothels. What’s that you say bro, you’re not gay? What should that matter, it’s just a job, like selling coffee to people ya don’t like.

And this is ultimately why turning sex (and by proxy, women’s bodies) into a commodity to be bought and sold is a bad thing. In addition to sexuality being INHERENTLY a different thing, sex for money causes and results from inequality.

You cannot rage against male sexual entitlement while simultaneously supporting an industry that exists solely to cater to it. Tell me, why are 99% of sex buyers men? Why are 4/5 porn watchers male? Nowhere in the world are there brothels full of men for the use of women.
