I have neither the energy of the time to deal with this piece of shit right now, if any of you possibly do, have at it. Or just point and mock. I’m too angry to point and mock right now.

Take your pity, your sexual empowerment rhetoric and your complete ignorance about what sex workers actually want and shove it where the sun don’t shine. Actually, gag yourself on it. That way you’ll stop talking at least.

I usually think you’re on point, but I really don’t see what’s wrong with this person’s post.

Then I don’t really know what to say. Because that post is a nightmare of fail and I truly, completely hate the thought that attitudes like that are so normalised that they have influence on actual sex workers. If I have energy when I get home in a few hours, I’ll go through what I think is wrong with it. If I don’t, I’ll try and come to it in a couple of days. Or you might just want to go through my sex work tag, you’ll see where I’ve criticised the idea of regulation over decriminalisation, the idea general society is non-whorephobic enough for legalisation to ever not be wildly corrupt and my DISGUST at the idea sex work is about empowerment and mutually pleasing sexual experience as an objective of sex worker’s rights rather than just flat out LABOUR rights as THE primary priority and objective.

edit: woop, just saw you’re an ex-worker and only worked in an extremely privileged capacity. Okay, now I understand why you don’t get it. 

“think about the protection of sex workers that could come from government interference.”

Really, because government interference seems like a terrible idea. Most of the sex workers I talk to are in favor of decriminalization instead of legalization. This person doesn’t know the first thing about sex work and the solution they’re describing is very unrealistic. “It could become an industry for woman and men who wish to sexual empower themselves while spreading pleasure” Again, this really isn’t about “sexual empowerment” per se and is more about looking at sex work as a business that people go into because they often do not have much of a choice or they need extra cash, etc. It’s rarely (I don’t have facts for this so maybe it isn’t rare?) about people going into it for just sexual empowerment. If someone is going into it for sexual empowerment alone, they’re very privileged.
