Ich bin für das #Sexkaufverbot zusammen mit systematischen Unterstützungs- und freiwilligen Ausstiegsangeboten, weil Freier & Zuhälter tagtäglich mit Verbrechen gegen Frauen davon kommen, da viele nicht in einer Position sind ihre Rechte zu verteidigen: dieunsichtbarenmaenner.wordpress.com
Ich bin für das #Sexkaufverbot, weil ich in keiner Gesellschaft leben möchte, wo es zur Berufsausbildung gehört sich (i.d.R. alleine, oft nackt) gegen Gewalt durch den "Kunden" oder "Chef" durchsetzen zu müssen. ellyarrow.wordpress.com/2018/12/15/pro…
Ich bin für das #Sexkaufverbot, denn die gesamte Struktur der Industrie ist frauenverachtend & rassistisch. So wird i.d.R. an Alter, Herkunft & Körpergrößen der Preis festgemacht, eventuell das Level an Respekt & auch solche Sprache von Freiern verwendet: dieunsichtbarenmaenner.wordpress.com/wortfrequenz/
Ich bin für das #Sexkaufverbot, weil jeder mit Entscheidungsgewalt über sein Leben mit jedem anderen Erwachsenen einvernehmlich schlafen kann - aber wenn das Ganze monetisiert wird genau diejenigen die Macht haben die es in der Gesellschaft sonst auch haben - alte weiße Säcke.

This horrific feeling that a lot of people are having in regard to the #Epstein files is what I (and many other feminists) had many years ago when we realised that there's virtually no protection for rape & trafficking victims of all ages & that perpetrators just get away with it
I'm not trying to say that we are better or smarter than anyone else but that these types of crime (rape, trafficking, forced abortion, child abuse, torture, femicide) are incredibly pervasive & once you realize that you can't unsee it. It exists in all domination-based societies
I realised that girls and women (and some vulnerable boys and men) from a lot of the same backgrounds and with life stories like Epstein's victims were ending up in my country Germany's legal (and also flourishing illegal) prostitution industry and I could not unsee it.
Let's not forget that #BillGates is one of the world's largest funders of pro #prostitution organizations that push for legislation that makes it harder to investigate and prosecute sex trafficking. Similarly, Epstein (and Musk as we knew) promote(d) the #surrogacy industry.
Virginia Guiffre was only able to make her escape from Epstein after he and Maxwell began pressuring her to become their surrogate. Reproductive and sexual exploitation are tied at the back and both deliver children to anyone who has the money for it. youtube.com/live/IVx0sADS1…
A large portion of the international pro #prostitution lobby has pushed not just for the denial of the harm done to adults but children as well. They've promoted language like "child sex worker", talked about economic opportunity or that girls "love" pimps ellyarrow.wordpress.com/2019/07/13/mor…
In Hamburg, there is a street lined with #brothels that women and children are not permitted to enter, it's called "Herbertstraße".
Did you know that the gate keeping everyone but sex buyers, pimps, and exploited women out was set up by the Nazis?
(The gate is usually closed.)
The gate at Herbertstraße was set up in 1933 under the Nazis to shield on-goings from view. Officially prostitution for a woman's own profit was illegal, especially in a street setting, but under state control, it was permitted and widely practiced.
(Herberstraße today).
A group around a local pastor want to create a monument right outside Herbertstraße to remember the women in prostitution under the Nazis who were stripped of their rights, shunned and murdered between 1933-1945. Nazis also systematically trafficked women into state-run brothels.
The life of Joop Wilhelmus - an exemplary tale of many a "#sexualrevolution|ary's" extreme hatred of women and children...🧵
Joop Wilhelmus is born in 1944, son of a Communist, sent at an early age to GDR socialist fraternization camps. Begins writing in leftwing papers at 14. Noticed for his braggadocio, claims of having first had sex at 12 years of age, and attracting "hot chicks" with his politics.
Jumping on the bandwagon of the sexual revolution in the 60s he soon becomes one of the Netherlands' most notorious pornographers, founding (among others) the adult porn magazine "Chick" in 1968. His fans are proud of the fact that he is hated by "the bourgeoisie and feminists".
There's a new website educating about the largely forgotten and understudied history of Nazi military brothel networks during WWII by German feminist historian Anne S. Respondek. "The male right to sex" in full brutal force looks like this... 🧵wehrmachtsbordelle.de/2023/09/12/gla…
During their time in power the Nazi war machine established a brothel network stretching entire occupied territory. Brothels catered to (nearly) every sector of the male population incl. not just soldiers, SS, police and elites, but military allies, workers and even camp inmates.
The history is glossed over in large part because post-war Germany still maintained its hatred of prostituted/sexually exploited women while also wanting to justify its continuance of the prostitution system (openly in the West, covertly in the East).
One of Germanys biggest news magazines, Der Spiegel, headlines:
"We will be ashamed"
Deploring 20 years of failed German #prostitution policy.
Here's the story of how the law let women down, the people (often survivors) ringing the alarm & the politicians admitting the mistake
The article opens with the story of "Lena" (20), the victim of a "loverboy" pimp, a trafficker who makes their victim think they're in a loving relationship - in Lena's case a martial arts world champion. Atypical about her story is that he got sentenced to 6 years and 3 months.
Lena's story is not a singular case, the article explains. There are countless women and some men & trans people trafficked to Germany annually. Most traffickers dont have a day in court nevermind the men literally paying to rape, the latter's actions are only criminal since 2017
