“Swerf” is just the funniest concept to me
Being critical of an industry and culture that montetarily and socially incentivizes and rewards male violence is the same thing as hating the women unfortunate enough to wind up in situations necessitating the literal COMMODIFICATION OF THEIR BODIES
Oh but of course the libfems will throw out their token upper-middle class supposed-to-be-college-athlete who decided to go a different route and it’s feminism bc she chose it.
There’s the difference and also the reason that free will doesn’t fucking exist within the capitalist framework for the vast majority of people (just bc you don’t see or interact w them doesn’t mean they don’t exist). A tiny minority of women in porn come from situations, bc of class relations and race more often than not, that allowed them to make the CHOICE to sell and profit off of their sexual labor. For the vast majority of women in the sex industry, they’re doing it as a choice between life and death. Between eating and not. Between paying rent and being homeless. Those aren’t fucking choices. Those are rational, survival decisions.
Stop with this fucking “swerf” bullshit bc it rlly just sounds like you don’t want to do any intellectual labor or self crit whatsoever and position yourself in opposition to rapey, misogynistic normalizations of your society (bc men won’t like it)
There’s nothing sex worker, emphasis on the workER, the human woman (not the male owned and operated inhuman industry y’all intentionally confuse), exclusionary abt radical feminism and it’s mission to rearrange society in such a way that eliminates the demand for sexual labor from women and the desperation and need for women to turn to this horrific industry
Supporting laws around sex work that sex workers themselves do not want makes you a SWERF
Disregarding the opinions of sex workers because you don’t agree with us makes you a SWERF
Implying that sex workers contribute to misogyny and/or are anti feminist because of our work makes you a SWERF
Prioritising your views and criticisms of sex work over the actual people who work in the fucking industry makes you a SWERF
Erasing the identities of the poor, disabled, black, poc sex workers who disagree with you makes you a SWERF
‘For the vast majority of women in the sex industry, they’re doing it as a choice between life and death. Between eating and not. Between paying rent and being homeless. Those aren’t fucking choices. Those are rational, survival decisions.’
Isn’t this just any fucking job though? I sure know my housemate doesn’t go to work 5 days a week just for the fun of it. Please target your anger towards capitalism instead.
If you think sex workers sell their bodies but coal miners don’t, you’re not a leftist or a feminist. You’re just a prude.
