I’ve been seeing the “‘sex workers’ redistribute funds to marginalized communities” talking point pop up on pimp shill Twitter, and a fucking ancom I was schooling in DMs on Instagram said that shit, so imma address this. Two main things.

First of all, literally no. Pimps keep almost all the fucking money and the sex trade leaves women more impoverished than before dumbass. It’s literally redistributing funds FROM marginalized women TO the privileged rich white men who run this entire shitshow.

Then second of all, even if that was true? That’s not a justification. The US military actually does redistribute funds to marginalized communities via the poor black and brown men who are economically coerced into joining it, but no leftist worth their salt defends that shit.

Something being profitable doesn’t somehow stop it from being harmful or exploitive, that’s such a brainwashed capitalist way of thinking. It would be telling if the only way to get money was by selling our bodies. The lives and health of my sisters is not worth two lil dollars.

Plus, this “argument” literally undermines the entire choice/autonomy/empowerment angle. Use two brain cells and THINK FFS. Why are “sex workers” from marginalized communities? Because it’s not a choice idiot. And what is sexual activity without a choice?

It’s rather fucking racist and classist to insinuate that poor women of color just like to be used and abused for men’s sexual gratification. Don’t they deserve to be able to do whatever they want with their bodies? They don’t deserve the ability to sleep with who they want?

Empowerment and how LibFems get it wrong. 🧵

EmPOWERment literally means gaining power. But third wave feminism has shifted the meaning of this very simple word to something like “gives good feelings”. This is not only plain wrong, but actively undermines feminism and retards women’s liberation.

You know that meme “modesty empowers some women, nudity empowers some women”? It’s kinda wrong. Bearing or hiding flesh provides no power, and depending on the context they can be degrading. It should be “modesty makes some women comfortable, nudity makes some women comfortable”.

Women who are for liberation for women: don’t wear makeup!

Three reasons-
1) Anti-feminist & harms women as a class
2) Unhealthy & undermines women as individuals
3) Exploitative & hurts workers, animals, and the environment

1. Women are pressured to wear makeup and society very much imposes this behavior on us. There are social, economic, even legal consequences on women for failing to participate.

Whether YOU personally “like” or “enjoy” it, any woman conforming to this standard reinforces this expectation on ALL women, that’s how social norms work. All women can only be free to choose once this pressure is gone, and that will only happen when enough choose to defy it.

@nordicmodelnow

Every single fucking talking point of the pimp lobby is pure reversal, projection, and gaslighting.

“tHe nOrdiC mODeL eNDaNgErS sEkS wUrKeRs”

The Nordic Model PROTECTS prostituted people from violence to begin with because it levels the field and allows them to threaten buyers and pimps with arrest, as they are already criminals.

“sTiGmA kiLLs”

Absolutely batshit. SEXBUYERS KILL. And ~destigmatizing~ “sex work” (NOT “sex workers” themselves) only helps them by normalizing their violence and legitimizing their entitlement. How tf is ~stigma~ against violence worse than violence itself 🤦🏾‍♀️

Pornwatchers, sexbuyers, pimps, sextraffickers, pornographers, & pornproducers don’t even have to do any work. Idiotic libfems & radlibs defend them, their actions, & the vile industry they uphold more than the men defend (it) themselves 💀

These moids feel SO FUCKING COMFORTABLE broadcasting their violence, racism, misogyny, abuse, & sadism for all to see. But these shills & useful idiots will go 🙈🙉 or drop another braindead false equivalency about how being violently anally penetrated until prolapsing & needing

the asshole stitched back in is jUsT aS eXpLoiTatiVe as having to smile & deal with Karens at fucking McDonalds. Unbe-fucking-lievable. How can anyone say that shit with a straight face?
