Happy 10 year anniversary to this post!

the problem is i really do love staying up until one billion o'clock. it just cant be helped

countries where prostitution is legal have higher rates of human trafficking. that’s like an actual fact. not an opinion or anything. so tbh it seems a bit ‘swerfy’ to completely ignore that

Why would trafficking increase when you have legalized prostitution.

Just because you legalize prostitution doesn’t mean women are going to be anymore willing to do it, but more men expect to go to prostitutes, so the demand for prostitution increases. Where do you get prostitutes if women aren’t willing to be them? you kidnap and traffick them!! 

Thank you for explaining this so concisely. I always thought trafficking would decrease if prostitution was legalized, so this is good to know.

it’s worth pointing out that Germany, who’s always touted as very progressive for legalizing prostitution and instituting prostitution unions, has become the human trafficking hub of Europe since those laws were implemented.

In 2009, there were around 900 victims of human trafficking in the Netherlands. In 2017, there were over 6000 and this number is estimated to fall prey to human trafficking every year. Over 4000 are sex slaves and over 1000 are children. This is getting progressively worse. I honestly cannot believe people aren’t educated that this legalization adds to an increase in human trafficking. Isn’t it obvious that’s how the world works? Also, men don’t care. I remember a post over here with men that were going to prostituted children and one of them was saying “I don’t care to know how the sausage is made”. That should tell you everything you need to know if you’re still having doubts about which side of the barricade you should choose. 

The notes on this post gave me 17 types of cancer. The fucking mental gymnastics people will pull to justify men’s right to pay to rape women is just staggering.

People in the notes keep saying “correlation does not mean causation” as if that means correlation will never apply causation. But I think the causation between prostitution and trafficking is pretty clear so…I don’t know why people want to live in a world so badly where women can be bought and sold

That article describes what I imagine hell to be like

I’ve also learned recently Germany can deny women unemployment/disability because they can technically still “work” in brothels and by selling their bodies. Not that it always happens, but they *can* deny it

I don't think most women grasp the severity of our reality. The level of violence and suffering being brought down on us only increases day by day. More girls go missing every day. More women are assaulted every day. Men regain more power over us every day. There is genuinely not a single day we can afford to squander.

Everything used to be 20 dollars and now that I finally have 20 dollars everything is now 200 dollars

Well done, Europe

Our daily moral panic about muh birth rates becomes so much darker when you learn how much of it is the sharp decrease in teen pregnancy

Why aren't men wearing aerodynamic thongs then? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Like I wonder if maybe these women have something else in common besides being rich? Maybe something like being in the public eye 24/7 and having 1000000000000 people a day comment on their bodies in public forums where everyone including them can see and hear it??

Sorry I'm not done. We are really at the "women developing anorexia is actually Another Way To Oppress You" level of backlash to feminism and "every single thing on earth is about Marxism" type discourse on the internet now? Really? Women are developing anorexia, a deadly disease that fucks up your organs forever and slashes decades off your life, to Show Off How Capitalist They Are and oppress you? And this is a take coming from "innerchildabortionclinic." Something something the reason abortion is the only serious feminist issue the left still likes to talk about has everything to do with being perceived as "edgy" and absolutely NOTHING to do with women's rights or bodily autonomy or seeing women as human beings, as is I think made VERY evident by this "hot take" by "innerchildabortionclinic" that women develop anorexia on purpose to show off how rich they are and oppress you. God all fucking mighty crawl back into Hot Topic and leave sick women the hell alone!!!

this is lindy hop. it originated in Harlem in the 1920's. so i guess technically it is old timey, but there are huge communities of people who still do this, and it's a ton of fun :)
