Aaaargh, time for a rant, since the last posts I reblogged were about the hypocrisy of “sex work” rhetoric and I’ve seen this BS in the radical feminist tag again.

If I see the word “whorephobia” again, I’m gonna flip my shit.

How come so-called “whorephobia”, i.e. misogyny, is perpetuated by radical feminists, anti-prostitution feminists etc., i.e. women and not the johns, traffickers, pimps and men in general???

Oh, you’re a *sex worker* and you don’t want to lose your job? Well, guess what, you’re not any different from other sex pozzies who LOVE their misogynistic men and let men get away with misogyny. Somehow, the violence caused by men is women’s fault now? And like, we’re to blame for police violence against prostitutes and not misogyny, racism and classism? Get outta here!

You know, the women who model for objectifying ads, I’m sure at least some of them don’t want to lose that money either. But do we have to stop critisizing it and ultimately want it to cease to exist for the mere fact that some women make money there? Hell, no. I’m a radical feminist and I want SYSTEMIC CHANGES to occur, which includes all the industries and institutions based on misogyny and exploitation of women, ffs, not just men “to behave better”. As if men are going to stop objectifying and exploiting women as long as the demand and supply (by and for men) for objectification and exploitation exist! Who are you trying to fool here?

You’re like the perfect PR agents of patriarchy, you’re handmaidens and enablers, because you completely erase men and their actions, thus protecting them and their “right” to exploit women. And then you have the nerve to blame WOMEN for the plight of prostitutes.

If you CHOOSE to let men get away with misogyny and you thus imply that you have the privilege of being able to choose in the first place, I’m not gonna stop there and tolerate it. Your choice has consequences for ALL women and you’re not excempt from criticism just because you’re *sex workers*. Your agenda is transparent.

And no, I don’t have to be a former *sex worker* to recognize misogyny and rape culture where I can clearly see it. *Sex work* only exists thanks to patriarchy and it’s patriarchal and misogynistic to the core. The “choice” rhetoric is used for any kind of misogynistic practice, industry, institution etc., be it the beauty industry or femininity in general. It’s not any different for *sex workers*.

“Don’t make me lose my job, teach men not to rape and objectify women” - Yeah, those men who demand prostitution are just nice fellas, but we need to teach ‘em a little how to respect women, that’s totes gonna erase misogyny, pardon, “whorephobia”. It’s totes not like men demanding prostitution are pro-rape/rapist misogynists to begin with and they’re still going to be pro-rape/rapist misogynists after that “lesson”. No, it’s WOMEN who are the misogynists here.

Welcome to turd wave sex pozz pro *sex work* feminism, where everything is upside down and men as oppressive class apparently don’t exist.

“SWERF” my ass.
