Middle Class Liberal Feminists Make This Argument All The Time: I Am Being Sexualised Anyway, So I May

Middle class liberal feminists make this argument all the time: “I am being sexualised anyway, so I may as well make money from it” this is a terrible argument, why are you not fighting sexualisation, harassment and rape? We all have to fight it. Do not give in to patriarchy. Do not be its tool!

Ending the Sex Trade Industry has nothing to do with Censorship

The amount of debates online about ending the sex trade industry, particularly pornography, that spirals into censorship is unnerving. It is the sex sellers (pornographers, pimps and agents) who have made the sex trade about “freedom of speech”. And we have to ask ourselves “whose speech is really free here?”. Is it the consumers of porn and prostitution? Is it the women who have penises rammed down their throats? (That literally silences a person) Or is it the people who profit off of other peoples (mostly women, sometimes children’s and men’s) bodies? The answer is clear.

The censorship argument is purposely misleading. I understand that liberal feminists want to be politically correct, but the whole nature of prostitution (they attempt to be PC by calling it sex work) is by dint of what it is politically incorrect. What is done to women in the sex trade is done to them because they are women. Nearly all of them do it because they have no choice. Unless you consider starvation and poverty a choice.

Sex work is not work, in the same way that working as a teacher is not „brain work“. It is only in a capitalist landscape that we would define a group of people by their labor.

Lets say that you heard what is done in porn happening next door to you, you hear a woman screaming, being dominated and being treated with violence. Do you believe that this should be “censored”? Are you offended by what you hear? Do you think that this is obscene? These questions do not even register when we are literally confronted with what is happening to the women in porn.

Talking with a friend: the term “revenge porn” is actually disgusting, because it implies the victim did something to deserve it. It should be called a sexual terrorism video, it’s done to instil fear in all women and children. It was uploaded to lead to the victim’s social death. The uploader wanted to punish their victim sexually.

Films like “Poor Things” glorify the sex trade in a way that is truly disgusting and disturbing. She has the brain of a child and is groomed into prostitution. This is a total male fantasy.

Porn and prostitution being claimed by the left is sickening. As a leftie, the narrative around porn and prostitution bans from others on the left rejecting it is so strange. Porn is sexist and racist. But these people are either in on it (watching it or making it) or stupid. The sex trade industry is misogyny on its face, it has been rebranded as “liberating” by lefties and pornographers.

School dress codes: Growing up as a girl I was told short skirts and bra straps were distracting for boys, as if the constant threat of sexual harassment isn’t distracting for young girls.
