pyrzqxgl

. . . it was the simplest thing in the world to transform anyone into beast, bird or fish, or anything else, and back again, once you know how to pronounce the mystical word: "Pyrzqxgl."

Crazy Bitch Logic: feminists who persist in using the word 'prostitution' over 'sex work' usually do so to undermine sex workers' own...

everythingbutharleyquinn:

they claim to be on our side but they just see those of us who aren’t arguing with them as dump exploited victims needing to be rescued and those of us who are arguing with them as super-privileged twits colluding with the patriarchy

also refusing to use a term…

Ok. One more person educated about this. I am not against sex workers. I think that should be a legal occupation and want it to be safe. I know there is a demand and I want those who would choose to be a sex worker to be afforded the same kinds of protections that I as an IT worker get.

Now, what is the correct term for those coerced into sex work? I know that many underage people and others have been coerced in to sex work. It is not their choice and they are not free to leave it. Making sex work illegal does not protect underage people from it, and in fact makes leaving more difficult; there are girls too young to consent to have sex in custody for “prostitution” serving as living examples to those  who would leave that leaving may well not bring them freedom.

    Is this implying that “prostitute” is the “n” word equivalent for sex workers because that needs to stop right now. No.

    ”Sex workers have their own ”n” word now. Because sex work and being black are mutually exclusive. Oh………..okay....
