We always have the whole "Listen to sex workers" "Listen to POC" etc which of course is brilliant, listen to the victims of an industry/culture, but sometimes all it takes is to listen to the benefactors of an industry and people still don't wanna do that
“I’d like to really show what I believe the men want to see: violence against women. I firmly believe that we serve a purpose by showing that." Bill Margold, Porn actor and producer, in reference to the porn industry, 2007.
They aren't quiet about any of it. They never have been. It's amazing how some people still manage to pretend they don't see and hear it.
you are a bad person if you didn't believe the gaiman allegations the first time.
this is what we mean when we say that now it’s literally impossible to talk about female oppression
The punching down of a multibillion dollar industry
the fact that criticizing the sex industry is seen as more oppressive than the sex industry itself should really make people think
Tbh it reads especially hollow when the ‘skirt go spinny’ crowd mocks the ‘I’m just a girl’ crowd. When a man does the same schtick they eagerly kiss his ass and feminism suddenly becomes being a killjoy asshole who hates women.
why can't i mock your religion lmao U literally think i'm going to hell
… What do people even expect the answer to be when someone rejects them and they ask, ‘why?’ Because the ‘why’s’ going to hurt their feelings no matter what, it doesn’t feel good to not get what you want and all. It always happens too, people rarely go, ‘Will you go out with me?’ ‘Oh, no thank you’ ‘understandable have a nice day’ it’s usually ‘well why won’t you date me?’ What do they want from that? To be told they’re not attractive to the person? That they don’t share a lot of interests? There’s no answer that gets people into that, ‘understandable, have a nice day’ position… Part of me thinks it’s just to justify their anger over the situation. ‘I’m not mad that I was told no- I’m totally fine with being told no- but it’s kind of fucked up to not want to be in a relationship for <Any given reason> isn’t love supposed to be beyond that sort of thing?’
To that anon: I like keeping positive comments to hold. It was sweet and I'm glad you sent it. I hope you find people who you feel free to learn and discourse with freely.
they’re not sending their best
I have preestablished biases and beliefs about the world, I acknowledge that and am willing to adjust with new information shared.
