I believe that sex-work is directly harmful to the sex-worker in a way that is different to other forms of work due to the nature of sexuality as being intimately and uniquely intertwined with the general psychology of a person. In that way, the banning of porn and sex-work is pro sex-worker, not anti sex-worker.

Of course, in a society where there is no alternative to sex-work and the banning of it would only serve to criminalize poor sex-workers, then I would oppose the ban until certain measures were put in place to ensure an alternative for working people.

That being said, I will reiterate that none of this breaches the ToS.

Also, I oppose coal work, that does not make me anti coal worker. Same concept applies.

We could listen to what sex workers have to say (coincidentally most of them say the opposite of what you're saying), or we could listen to a male radfem with no stake in the matter. Tough choice here.

I hope you know that sex-workers are not just cam workers and porn people in the safety of their own homes and regulated studios, the majority of sex-workers in the world are undoubtedly oppressed and forced into their position by disgusting socio-economic pressure and crime.

I'm extremely familiar with the subject matter. I hope you know that your position isn't far removed from the misogynistic idea that women who have sex too much become irreparably damaged.

Yeah it’s a bit like being anti-sex because some people are raped.

Being anti-abuse/non-consensual porn doesn’t have to throw voluntary porn makers under the bus.

To me it sounds like some mental gymnastics to justify an overly broad attitude towards porn.

It also reeks of authoritarian and shitty methods such as criminalization of various things etc.

More than that, the suspicion that people would ignore the illegal content to support the legal content is really poorly founded.

It sounds like someone projecting their absolutist views onto others.

I haven't seen any data on this, and honestly I doubt it exists.

Interesting, I didn’t know this discussion was about women.

If it wasn't, you and your kin wouldn't have turned it into an issue for your twisted brand of feminism to address. You know as well as I that women and femmes are overrepresented in sex work by a long shot.

My kin? I was not even talking about the issue from a feminist perspective of any kind, and I made sure to only refer to sex-workers as gender neutral because it is, in fact, a gender neutral profession.

Interesting though that you lump ‘femmes’ into the woman category, implicitly denying their nonbinary identities.

I'm not going to play games with you further. Suffice to say, you're calling yourself a radfem for a reason, and if anyone takes issue with my "lumping in" of two distinct categories of people, they can draw a venn diagram for themselves and find out why that isn't the case.

My bio is very obviously a joke. It has plenty of contradictions and even lists a fiction author for no reason.

There's nothing obviously contradictory about your bio.

ML

Neoreactionary ecology

radfem

fanged Noumena

Julius Evola

James Joyce

Practically everything on the list contradicts one or more other things on the list, except James Joyce who is just an author. I thought the joke would be obvious.

the banning of (...) sex-work is pro sex-work(...)

what?

There’s an “er” at the end of the second work. Even if you disagree, it is a coherent statement.

i'd say its more like an oxymoronic statement, but whatever...

If I were to say that banning coal work is good for coal workers, would that also be oxymoronic? Would it not be correct to say that coal work is very harmful for the coal worker and the environment in which the coal worker lives? Like it or not, the statement is coherent.

Yeah sure, and I’m not against sex-work, I’m against brothels and porn distributors and any other sex-work facilitator. Potato potato.

what about sex-worker run brothels and diy porn distribution?

BrowseDuringClass1917 wrote

What about coal-worker coop mines and diy coal distribution? I oppose it just the same as I oppose sex-work, on the grounds that it is inherently harmful for the worker and the society.

I oppose sex-work

make up your mind already...

also,

inherently harmful for the worker

its only harmful because we have this concept called PATRIARCHY (that you seemingly adhere to)

I only said I'm not against sex work to prove a point that distinguishing between being against x-work and being against the facilitators and distributors of x-work is meaningless. Is it so hard to read?
