I almost miss the pre-‘sex work as empowerment’ vocabulary used to described prostituted women, such as ‘white slavery’, ‘sex slavery’ etc besides their obvious issues such as the vast majority of those effected by prostitution are women of color, because the SLAVERY part is confronted and illuminates how horrifying this system is, and correlates sex buyers and pimps as the historical villains and subjugators of violence that they are. Seeing how the language used to discuss colonial slavery in the new world pre civil war + global abolition has advanced to redefine those trafficked into it as ‘enslaved persons’, highlighting their humanity and how their value, worth and identity exists outside of their coerced subjugation, and how the language to describe sex trade ‘evolved’ to using ‘sex worker’, tying women’s worth to their subjugation, their worth to their bodies and stripping their humanity and emotions, their trauma etc and aggressively painting feminist language like ‘prostituted women’, highlighting their humanity and how their value, worth and identity exists outside of their coerced subjugation in the exact same manner afforded to the mixed sex individuals violated by the Atlantic slave trade is demonized, marred as swerf dogma that infantilizes ‘empowered women’ which literally just highlights how western, middle to upper class and white centric the sex work ideology is, and how placing more dubious incarnations of financially exploited sexuality such as onlyfans and camming with human trafficking in order to legitimize the latter and co-opt third wave liberal feminism to advocate for it, and to coerce young women to believing that sexual exploitation is liberation, and that ‘safe�� manifestations of the sex trade are lucrative and legitimate, to realizing that for those outside of the very small circle of ‘success’ stories that this is not the case, and that they’ll have to submit themselves to more dangerous diffusions of the sex trade like escorting and getting pimped out is just so… horrifying.
Imagine that with the vocabulary of ‘prostituted women’, which advocates for synonymous policies and interpretation of the past as the usage of ‘enslaved person’ and the critical race theory that utilizes it, we could be advocating for the acknowledgment of humanity of centuries, millennia of women, and even getting reparations and legislation to counteract the subjugation of women in this fashion.

It’s so insidious how “”sex worker”” and SLAVE gets used interchangeably within the span of three words in a sentence and yet that raises no red flags oh my fucking god
It enrages me how many will look at ancient sexual slavery, where majority of the prostitutes were either groomed since childhood, since they were born in the brothel or taken as captives and go like "prostitution is the oldest profession in the world". You mean sexual slaver is the oldest profession in the world, where the pimp would get paid and the prostitutes would live in conditions like this?
#imagine calling pre civil war black American slaves grain workers cotton workers or whatever and not see the cognitive dissonance#I feel like the other half of the reason why megalib(tard)s use sex worker in place of more accurate vocabulary like sex slave is because -#kink and porn has sexualized it so much#so simultaneously they’re delegitimizating the subjegation of women and normalizing it while understanding the horror of these words and —#what they hide

Each and every man to ever exist was made inside a woman’s womb, and yet they’ve spent millennia trying to convince everyone, including themselves, that women exist in relation to them, not the other way around.

It's weird that men do drag to make fun of gender but the gender they make fun of is......women? Wouldn't it make more sense to make fun of hyper-masculinist gender roles that marginalize gay men- wearing big fake muscles and acting like an egoic idiot? Having skits about men getting their ego bruised by irrelevant bullshit? Fighting over nonsense? Being pigs? People will be like, "Well, Drag Kings exist". First of all, I don't even think Drag Kings parody and lampoon masculinity the way drag queens do feminity. I haven't seen many drag kings (they're damn near non-existent/invisible) but when I do, it's never them acting like clown men. The portrayal seems..... reverent. There are some reverent Drag Queens too, like some queens would do a character like Beyonce or Diana Ross with great respect. But there also exists A LOT of clownery: drag characters as slutty, airhead, bimbos, with their abortions and tampons hanging out, making blow job face- that kinda thing. What a coincidence this portrayal of feminity is more popular/has more cultural influence than Drag Kings and that making fun of "gender" has manifested in just...relentlessly shitting on women. Surprise surprise.

*sees Terfs and radfems do not interact*
*instant follow*
Thank you so much for getting it, especially the radfem part
In a way, all radfems are terfs. Radical feminism almost always bleeds into terf beliefs, but even when it isn't transmisogynistic it's still bigoted and sexist especially towards trans and poc men. They think misgendering and trying to convert trans men helps women. Like you can either be a transphobic radfem or not radfem at all.
*follows you back*
#I hate how these white shitheads treat ‘’poc men’’ (first of all person of color men…. okay great understanding of acronyms#in the same woobified manner they do with like asexual 15 year olds#you are not an ally to women of color. you will never relate to a woman of color. you do not speak for women of color#women of color who are the main reciepents of horrifying male violence by GUESS WHO!!!! and it has nothing to do with colonialism#someone probably already stated this in the replies or reblogs but wow does this piss me off

i do like a lot of female pop artists like charli or fka twigs but god i am sick of like… idk not to sound conservative but the relentless self objectification. the lack of dignity. why are you wearing degrading bdsm shit in a music video. put your tongue back in your mouth. it makes me feel gross as a woman to see it. it’s the same with the bimbo trend from last year… what are you trying to achieve who are you doing this for who exactly are you trying to shock i don’t rly think it’s working

i am so dead serious when i say more women should be more violent btw. you might not like the idea of being violent, but you need to be okay with it if you're ever going to properly defend yourself when you need to.
