    Even by liberal feminist standards what sex workers want is decriminalization and not legalization. Even liberals see that making the state a pimp is bullshit liberation.

    I don’t believe you’ve ever reflected on this topic beyond what’s normal and confortable to you in our current society.

    I also had a strong reaction when I learned about sex trade abolition and made every point you are. Good thing this isn’t new thought and I’m not smarter than every other comrade who wrote about it. And yes, marriage is discussed here because it’s related to prostitution.

    And no, even M&E thought prostitution was the harshest exploitation the bourgeoisie instilled on the proletariat. Not mere “labour”. Read Engels.

    PS: it’s funny that you think that pornography is necessary for sexual and erotic expression. Because, as even porn actors will tell you, porn is not sex.

      you are being one shitty framelord

      1.)who says you should make the state the pimp, now you are just twisting my words. i call for regulation, not monopoly.

      2.) yeah, and war on drugs and war on terror sounded great in the beginning too…

      3.)yes, at the time - with feudal pimp culture - prostitution must have been horrid, no question. again: exploitation, economics. not the exchange in itself.

      4.)more framing, never said anything of the sorts. also: did you know, that movies are in fact just fictitious stories and the people in them are only actors?

        > I don’t believe you’ve ever reflected on this topic beyond what’s normal and confortable to you in our current society.

        > I genuinely can’t give you anything more productive than a bunch of insults. You make the effort to read Marxist feminists opinions on this. Stop assuming it has anything to do with puritanism, I’ll stop assuming you love sexual violence.

        I’ll only address this:

        not the exchange in itself.

        The exchange in itself is coercive. The fact that you need to push someone’s boundaries with money shows that they wouldn’t consent to sex if you didn’t hold power over their head.

        This is not consensual sex. This is rape. This is violent.

        If a person has to have sex with someone in order to keep shelter and food they have been robbed from their ability to consent to it. Be they a prostitute, a wife, a friend or an office employee.

        Sex is consensual. Prostitution is not sex, it’s sexual exploitation.

        I don’t want to continue this conversation but if you choose to, please DM me because I’m tired of seeing this post talking about pornography simulating genocide. This topic is upsetting enough by itself, don’t need to be reminded of porn sick racists.

          well, in principle i agree with almost all of your points, but said power imbalance is only facilitated by economic inbalance engrained in and facilitated by the system and conditioned into behaviour by religion and “morals” (morals which destroy the bargaining power of women or their sexual power). this is my key point here.

          and while moral concepts or outrages may lead to problems being adressed, it seldomly leads to them actually being solved, because the outrage itself makes any realistic debate toxic to begin with. same with ukraine vs russia or any topic

          hence what you have to attack is the (socioeconomic)power differential. so as much as a value a feminist perspective, this can be solved with marxist principles alone. also: don’t hate the players, hate the game. also, don’t tell the people they can’t eat bread if you doń’t give them something else to eat…

          also, what is your solution? what have mullahs, the taliban, the catholic church and all the adherents of banning prostitution/pornography/weed&whatnot not tried or actually done for the women subjected to these industries? Sold their image and the drama projected onto it on TV for ad cash? called them witches? stoned them to death? for what? because they were afraid of women potentially sitting on literal goldmines

          (addendum: i live in a country with legal but regulated prostitution. i am personally not a customer because i find it gross, but hey, not everyone has my carnal sensitivities, i ve talked to older strippers in bars who told me that they were educated in girls only schools until they escaped and ended up liking hairy fat men and dick more than sitting at a cash register and that they had worse experiences with boyfriends than with paying customers… of course this is anecdotal, but i believe it’s a spectrum rather than black&white)

                don’t think I haven’t noticed that you’re going through my comments on this thread and replying with the same points over and over. You aren’t even reading what I write and I can notice because I asked you to either PLEASE shut the fuck up or PLEASE dm me to stop putting fucking rape pornography on my face.

                You’re a piece of shit mysoginist who’s obsessed with being wrong and can’t have a little respect for a “comrade” who makes a very simple request.

                You’re the exact type of liberal I made fun of in my original comment. And I’m a feminist c*nt who will take away your buddies’ fun. Seethe and cope.

              so you want to kill desperate men who pay desperate women to have the sensation of intimacy their social status inflicted upon them by capitalism does not allow them?

              maybe you are just a fascist radical puritan and to you it is about “cleansing society” because in the end, you are just looking for someone to hate and kill

              so very woke of you. how about you call your group SSS, Sex-Schutz-Staffel

                  in the end you are just astroturf to further smear and persecute julian assange. so: F.U.

                  and this whole “prostitution is rape” argument is GEARED towards attacking Assange - who was a victim of a CIA honeypot trap. PROSTITUTES RUN BY THE CIA - so who is the abuser here?

                    addendum: if “wh0re” is a sexist dehumanizing slur, so is “pimp” and so is “john” the evaluation of this term just points to the value you project onto the person you are calling this word. generalisations out of context is all that is.
