Legalize it!
- Fauxminist: Legalize sex work
- Sex worker: No
- Fauxminist: Pay taxes, std tests, cops!
- Sex worker: Cops are a bunch of abusive, middle class rapists, who murder disabled people people of color and trans people , taxes for sex are bullshit, and std tests force sex workers to have to have unprotected sex in order to keep clients who is going to make sure that the clients aren't infecting sex workers? Seriously who?
- Fauxminist: Adimitedly I don't know much about sex wo...
- Sex Worker: Then shut the fuck up.
- Fauxminist: But...
- Sex worker: NO
- Fauxminist: I'm a sex worker too!
- Sex worker: Eww you reek or privilege get away from me*hisses*
- How just about every conversation about sex work(I mean the term that was created as a better way to say prostitution) goes with every feminist.
- TGWL: It's a shame that this appears to be the main example of dialogue this person has had with feminists regarding sex work. I've been fortunate, despite many conversations just as frustrating as this colorful example, to have had a number of constructive talks with feminists I know and some I don't about the industry and they've had some fairly enlightened POVs. Admittedly, being on the 'front line' as it were, does give you insight that someone who isn't a sex worker wouldn't have, but it's pleasing to know that people are at least trying to educate themselves on the realities and that more feminists etc, are actually talking to feminists about some of these issues.
