Face it Tumblr, “men are trash” almost never targets “straight white rich NT baby boomer douchebag in Beverly Hills.” It almost always hurts men who are marginalised already.

do you think women in the middle east being stoned for going outside alone only have reason to hate white western men??

do you think working class women who get murdered by their working class husbands only have reason to hate rich men??

do you think black women getting stalked and harrassed by black men only have reason to hate black men??

My depressed adhd blue-collar working-class mountains-of-debt 2-hour-a-day-commute father is a friendly and charming man, but also happens to be a verbally abusive functional alcoholic who will turn on you on a dime once he’s had a few, and who cannot be convinced not to drive home drunk. He once slapped me so hard I fell to the floor, it’s the only time he ever hit me but it completely changed the way I look at him.

The International Union of Sex Workers (IUSW) is a UK-based union for sex workers, and became a part of GMB, another general workers union and Britain’s third largest union, in 2002 after a vote to become an affiliate. Like @feministclassicist mentioned before me in the thread, Douglas Fox is one of the many donors to the IUSW, and is also a part of Amnesty International, which I’ll address shortly. Fox owns the largest escort service in north-eastern England, and has dedicated a lot of time, money, and resources to lobby for the legalization of pimping, brothel-owning, and sexbuying.

In 2010, Douglas Fox published a post on the official IUSW website, wherein he routinely refers to women who are prostitutes as “whores,” claims that Julie Bindel and other anti-coercive sex industry feminists are not “true feminists”, claims prostitution does “not institutionalise the sexual objectification of women”, and states “the whore challenges social oppression of both men and women by refusing to conform to narrow oppressive role prescriptions.”

These statements are diametrically opposed to the lives and vocalized experiences/desires of the overwhelming majority of so-called “sex workers”, who want to leave these industries and find other sources of labor, but often don’t have the resources to do so. [2] [3]

In 2008, Douglas Fox proposed a motion for blanket decriminalisation of the sex trade at the Amnesty International (AI) Annual General Meeting, a proposal that became international AI policy seven years later.

In October of 2014, Alejandra Gil, the Vice President of the Global Network of Sex Work Projects (NSWP), was arrested for running a massive sex trafficking ring, using APROASE (a proclaimed sex-worker led sex work Union, for whom she was a co-chair member) as a front for her illegal activities. In March of 2015 she was charged. Despite that, the very NSWP article I linked paints Gil out to be a victim, and dismisses her guilt.

“Turn off the blue light” is a primarily European campaign, whose mission is “to raise awareness on the violence, crimes and discrimination against sex workers, a marginalized female group and mobilize public opinion and stakeholders in order to tackle these phenomena” Despite this self-proclaimed mission, the campaign is backed and funded by characters such as Peter McCormick, a convicted pimp who rakes in millions of Euros from his online prostitution service annually. Additionally, his son, who was convicted of running 6 brothels is another advocate for the campaign. TJ Carrol is yet another of these traffickers and pimps who supported the campaign. Carrol ran the largest trafficking/prostitution ring in Ireland, and utilized African gangs to traffick women and sell them into sexual slavery, where oftentimes they were horribly abused and unable to escape. Carrol and his associates used voodoo rituals to terrify African women into staying in the industry, and he also groomed his daughter into the business. Tony Linnane is yet another convicted pimp who backed the campaign. He was also connected to an incident wherein a woman was “threatened with being burned alive after gasoline was thrown on her.” Had enough yet? Mihai Selaru is a brother owner and pimp who plead guilty to beating the prostitutes forced to work for him, and threatened to starve a woman if she did not bring in more business.

Claudia Brizuela, a former leader of Asociacion de Mujeres Meretrices de Argentina (Association of Women Prostitutes of Argentina) (AMMAR) and a founder of the Latin American-Caribbean Female Sex Workers Network (LA-CFSWN), was arrested and charged with sex trafficking. The LA-CFSWN was represented by none other than Gil Alejandra.

Julie Bindel, through her fantastic and diligent research, discovered that the #notyourrescueproject hashtag and campaign, which claimed to be a “sex-worker-led” campaign was actually created and sustained by burner accounts of Dr. John Davies by women he had pimped and trafficked. Primarily, he posed as a disenfranchised woman from the Indian sub-continent named “Molli Desi.” All of the pictures of “Molli” were actually pictures of a woman he had trafficked from Bangladesh. Davies was a Visiting Research Fellow with the Centre for Migration Studies Department of Sussex University, where he routinely hid behind his respectability as a doctor in order to promote trafficking denialism. Davies was also involved in an adoption scheme called the King Solomon Foundation, which operated out of Romania, and where he sold the children of prostituted women for up to $20,000.

Men are so sad.

What’s even more pathetic is that this kind of douche is exactly the reason why women don’t want to be around men in the first place, lmao. Comparing our wanting to feel safe and not be sexualized to literal racism. It really shows how much they’re uncomfortable with/hate women’s boundaries.

Anyways, I can't imagine how much more relaxing it would be to work out around women only.

I mean, I could keep going, but you guys must get the hang of it by now.

When women seek out their own spaces away from men, they’re not worried about bullying or “mean-girls”. It’s horrible what this Dani Matters did, but men are still the majority of the individuals harassing and raping women in public spaces. So actually, you are the delusional ones here for believing these things are comparable at all. If you have this much of a bone to pick with women wishing to be safe to the point you view it as “selfish”, you are the problem.

A man secretly recorded videos of eight women in the changing room at a gym.

Like ever heard of sports (oh wait), bathrooms (oh wait), and mens’ and womens’ clubs (for now)

Not to mention gay and lesbian (OH WAIT) spaces are essentially sex segregated

Up until TRAs, sex segregation in many contexts was the norm (which is fine!!)

In fact, up until recently, women couldn’t even go to gyms. And many gyms/fitness clubs are still men only**/functionally are men only

I hate edgy culture, this is a real article about a real *14 year old* girl being shot in the head, she’s paralyzed and partially blind, and people are laughing reacting or “thankful” reacting to it on Facebook. 

Male violence against women is so common, that we find this funny. A young girl has gone from wanting to spend her summer horseback riding and because of two boys instead her goal is to move her fingers, and we’re acting like it’s a joke. Why do we, as a culture, hate women so much? 

If I catch you misgendering any of my guys, gals, non-binary pals, or invalidating sex work as a job, I’m going to find you and crack a baseball bat over your head.

I wanna make an anti-porn post as a former porn actress. And I wanna be really real and harsh and honestly I wanna be a bit rude.

I have worked in porn. There are videos of me right now, today, out on the internet that I will never be able to have deleted. All the arguments to excuse porn sound to me like the "wait that's illegal" meme, and they're disgusting and insulting.

I'm not gonna say which company I worked for, the websites, or my "porn name", because obviously, so don't even ask. But I know first hand what happens, and people just refuse to listen because "guys wanna jerk off :((". It's a slap in the face to all of us who have worked with this, and those who still work with this. No actually it's a spit in the face and a slap.

Have some humanity. Your dick isn't the royalty you think it is.

Example. My brother was on the internet at the time I was "working" and got one of those pop-up ads for "girls in your area looking for you", with my nude picture on it, right in his face. Can you imagine what that felt like for me, or him for that matter? Btw I hadn't sold my pictures to any of those things, they were all stolen. It's normal practice.

"It's ILLEGAL to coerce!!!" Please. Use your brain for one second. We don't live in care bear land. Has it ever occurred to you that some people... are not good people?

Yes, it all happens. Drugging, choking, raping, beating, and coercion. All of it, all the goddamn time. Drugging someone up to their eyeballs to film an especially violent scene? Normal practice. "Do this or no pay"? Every single day. And I'm leaving out the graphic stuff.

Yes. YES, it happens. Yes it fucking happens. Put your ego aside for two seconds and LISTEN to women. Listen to women who have actually worked with, and excuse my french, fucking strange men in real life.

Get off Tumblr, you aren't welcome here.

Get off my gf's blog, you aren't welcome here.

Get off the internet and walk outside, you aren't welcome here.

This entire thing should be a must-read for anyone who has the standard liberal feminist stance on ~sex workers~ and their ~career choices,~ or for any radical feminists who are looking for yet more evidence that prostitution is a degradation and that johns are scum. 

Some choice excerpts:

“[O]f 700 men interviewed […] just over half were either married or in a relationship with a woman.”

[One participant] said: “I want my ideal prostitute not to behave like one,” he said, “to role-play to be a pretend girlfriend, a casual date, not business-like…”

“I asked [one participant] how often he thought the women he paid enjoyed the sex. ‘I don’t want them to get any pleasure,’ he told me. ‘I am paying for it and it is her job to give me pleasure. If she enjoys it I would feel cheated.’”

“When asked what would end ­prostitution, one interviewee laughed and said, ‘Kill all the girls.’”

“Almost half said they ­believed that most women in prostitution are victims of pimps (“the pimp does the ­psychological raping of the woman,” explained one), lured, tricked, or trafficked. But they still continued to visit them.”

“One of the most interesting findings was that many believed men would “need” to rape if they could not pay for sex on demand.”

“Visiting an area where prostitution is legal or openly advertised [such as Amsterdam or Thailand] had given them a renewed dedication to buying sex when they returned to the UK.”

“[One participant] said: ‘Look, men pay for women because he can have whatever and whoever he wants. Lots of men go to prostitutes so they can do things to them that real women would not put up with.’”

Emphasis added.

Had someone today insist that she was a woman before she was a human being and therefore took issue with the phrase “people who menstruate.” Not only is this not true legally or biologically, but it is incredibly fucked up and fits neatly into what the Western patriarchy desires: that women be viewed as subhuman.

Your insistence on sexual purity, including being against pornography. Gosh I wonder where that comes from. I’m just gonna enjoy my bisexual amateur porn and get off to a woman screaming through an orgasm on video. On Shabbat, cuz sex on Shabbat is a mitzvah.

2. it’s not about “sexual purity”. it’s about the misogyny and exploitation of the porn industry

Yeah, that’s why you should support women in porn.

no, that’s why porn and the sex work industry should both be abolished

because i can assure you, when i was posted on pornhub at 14 by a 26 year old man, im sure those who might’ve consumed those images might not have known. how can you be so sure you were not like those who consumed my sexual exploitation material, how can be so sure you’ve never pleased yourself to a girl’s or woman’s sexual trauma?

do you know if these women are consenting, or only doing it because if a man won’t put his dick in her mouth for payment, she’ll starve to death. or do you consider that to be “consenting”? “free choice”? how do you know they’re not victims of trafficking? even with “amateur porn”, how do you know these women are consenting to those recording them? how do you know they’re safe? or are you so sick in the head that you’re comfortable knowing that there’s a possibility you’ve gotten off to sexual exploitation material? if i had to live with that chance, i’d be sick to my stomach. and you should be too.

You should see a therapist. Just broadly speaking from my interactions with you.

question, why do you need to see recorded sex?

Good thing that’s not the porn I’m watching lol.

I don’t need to see recorded sex. I am, however, very lonely at the moment due to Covid lockdowns and becoming very uninterested in my last partner. Listening to pleasure pleases me.

I’ve recorded myself masturbating. I used to be a nude model. I enjoyed it. Telling me I can’t do that, and that other people can’t do that, because bad people exist is puritanical.

Again, I’m sorry you were victimized by SOMEONE. But taking it out on people who enjoy sex and its accessories is not the way to go.

me: it’s impossible to check with a woman in a porn video to ask her if she consents to the sex acts done in the video, you can never know if you’re watching content that’s unconsensual. however, with real life partners, you can.

you: well!!!!! you don’t know if maybe they lied or or or something!!!!! you’re clearly sexually aggressive because you hate that porn dehumanized you!!!!

but once again, i can ask a partner right in front of me. i can check with them. you can’t check with the women in porn, ask them if they’re okay, if they’re safe, if they consent to the actions. do you know how often it is that a woman will “consent” to a scene and the directors will change it to something she doesn’t agree with? and how often they will continue to coerce her into doing it, otherwise, there’s no pay?

also niiiiice, so your excuse to possibly consuming sexual exploitation material (because once again, how can you check if it’s not? how do you know if it’s not?) is that your lonely? also you being a nude model is not the same as women in porn. im not saying you can’t do that (where did you even get that from what i wrote?) but that porn is exploitative. making the women and girls who’ve been victimized by it to be “hyperagressive” “puritanical” etc is wrong in so many ways. and once again, the industry does not exist without exploitation. ill try to find that study done that found that about 88% of porn contains physical violence, almost always towards women. how is being against this patriarchal? porn IS the patriarchy! you really think violence against women is okay, just because said woman is being sexually penetrated at the same time of the violence? what’s the matter with you?

also it’s not “people who enjoy sex” once again, you sick freak, you’re conflating porn with sex. you literally are obsessed with porn that you can’t imagine sex without it. porn and sex are two very different things. sex is an intimate act, porn is the act of doing sexual relations and posting them where all can see, exploit, and use against women.

nice condescending attitude, is this how you treat all victims of porn, or just the ones who don’t agree with you?

“all they have is their personal experience” and this is so conveniently the “personal experience” of hundreds of not thousands of other women and girls in porn.

EVA ANGELINA:

“My pussy was so swollen, it was unbelievable. And the next day, I was obligated to work for Cherry Boxxx. And that f—ed me up even more. Working three scenes after having been so injured f—– me up. For a good six months, I wasn’t normal. My pussy wasn’t normal until a couple of months ago. It just sucks.”

MICHELLE AVANTI:

“Some of my experiences on the porn set include me being totally wasted and porn producers allowed me to be and even provided alcohol and drugs for me. I experienced rough sex scenes and have been hit by male talent and told them to stop but they wouldn’t stop until I started to cry and ruined the scene. During one specific scene called “Bukkake” I was really high and the producers knew it and they told me to use a Douche to pretend I was urinating on another performer but I had an accident and instead I defecated on the performer. I was so humiliated and wanted to die. They told me it was okay and not to worry that they weren’t going to make a big deal about it and the next thing I know they blasted the scene all over the web. I felt totally degraded.”

MAHLIA MILIAN:

“My worst day was when I was forced to use a sponge to do a scene because it was already booked and my monthly came early I had never did anything like this. The sponge was pushed so far and got stuck that I had to be taken into the hospital because I had caught a infection and they had to open me up to remove the sponge. I wasn’t able to work for a few weeks and the agent stole two of my checks to replace the money he didn’t get from me leaving me broke and without food.”

EMILY EVE:

“I shot scenes where I had to pretend to be dead and let someone rape my dead body. I came home bruised and sometimes a little bloody from the rough scenes. I shot deep throat scenes where they slapped me and spit on me and called me horrible things. I threw up, and had to keep shooting.. I couldn’t breathe because of the vomit in my nose and the genitals in my mouth.”

REGAN STARR:

“I got the shit kicked out of me… most of the girls start crying because they’re hurting so bad… I couldn’t breathe. I was being hit and choked. I was really upset and they didn’t stop. They kept filming. [I asked them to turn the camera off] and they kept going.“   

CORINA TAYLOR:

“When I arrived to the set I expected to do a vaginal girl boy scene. But during the scene with a male porn star, he forced himself anally into me and would not stop. I yelled at him to stop and screamed ‘No’ over and over but he would not stop. The pain became too much and I was in shock and my body went limp.”

JERSEY JAXIN:

“Guys punching you in the face. You have semen from many guys all over your face, in your eyes. You get ripped. Your insides can come out of you. It’s never ending.” - Jersey Jaxin

ELIZABETH ROLLINGS:

“I didn’t want to feel the pain of penetration from an over average sized man, being told to freeze in a position until the camera man was happy with his shots was very painful. I had peoples body fluids forced on my face or anywhere else the producer pleased and I had to accept it or else no pay. Sometimes you would get to a gig and the producer would change what the scene was supposed to be to something more intense and again if you didn’t like it, too bad, you did it or no pay.”

GENEVIEVE:

“I had bodily fluids all over my face that had to stay on my face for ten minutes. The abuse and degradation was rough. I sweated and was in deep pain. On top of the horrifying experience, my whole body ached, and I was irritable the whole day. The director didn’t really care how I felt; he only wanted to finish the video.”

JENNA JAMESON:

“Most girls get their first experience in gonzo films – in which they’re taken to a crappy studio apartment in Mission Hills and penetrated in every hole possible by some abusive asshole who thinks her name is Bitch. And these girls, some of whom have the potential to become major stars in the industry, go home afterward and pledge never to do it again because it was such a terrible experience.”

ROXY:

“After only 30 movies I caught two sexually transmitted diseases. Herpes, a non-curable disease and HPV, which led to cervical cancer where I had to have half of my cervix removed. Porn destroyed my life.”

DANIELLE WILLIAMS:

“A female porm star that’d been in the industry for a while had excessive anal intercourse and a piece of her muscle from her anus fell out on set while she was filming. Some females damaged their reproductive systems which left them unable to have children. A male porn star broke the muscle in his penis because he was having abnormal and outragous rough sex. I found that a male porn star who was in the business for a while was a devil worshipper. Both male and female porn stars were committing suicide. A lot of the porn stars were known to go overseas and do beastiality in porn. (Sleeping with animals.) Shortly after that, a numerous amount of people starting turning up with diseases, Herpes to be exact.”

ALEX DEVINE:

“Donkey Punch was the most brutal, depressing, scary scene that I have ever done. I have tried to block it out from my memory due to the severe abuse I recieved during the filming. The guy, Steve French has a natural hatred towards women in the sense that he has always been known to be more brutal than EVER needed. I agreed to do the scene thinking it was less beating, except the ‘punch’ in the head. If you noticed, steve had worn his solid gold ring the entire time, and continued to punch me with it. I actually stopped the scene while it was being filmed because I was in too much pain.”

JESSI SUMMERS:

“I did gonzo porn to start out and it was the most degrading, embarrassing, horrible thing ever! I had to shoot an interactive DVD which takes hours and hours of shooting time with a 104 degree fever! I was crying and wanted to leave but my agent wouldn’t let me he said he couldn’t let me flake on it. I also did a scene where I was put with male talent that was on my no list. I wanted to please them so I did it. He put his foot on my head and stepped on it while he was doing me from behind. I freaked out and started balling; they stopped filming and sent me home with reduced pay since they got some shot but not the whole scene.”

ERICA CAMPBELL:

“Being in the world of adult modeling I see A LOT of pain….A LOT of heart break. SO many lost girls get into this business just for some extra money….to help pay for school….to help support themselves or even their children as single moms. “It’s just temporary”. They are only going to do this for a while…just a few shoots. I too started out to make some extra money to help me finish school. Almost ALL of the time It doesn’t end where you think it will…..the path goes on……the hole gets deeper….and the road gets darker. MOST of the time the girls don’t even realize it. One day you see this bright beautiful girl shooting tame nudes…the next they are signing on the dotted line of a hard-core porn company. Lost. Broken. Alone.”

CRISSY MORAN:

“I went through more heartbreaks and became suicidal. I was taken to the hospital for panic attacks. I tried to overdose on xanax, strangle myself, and cut my wrists but not nearly deep enough. I was too scared of the pain. I prayed God would just take me away! I felt helpless. I even went to church for a few months but the guilt I felt was overwhelming that I would feel as if I were choking when I was at church. I had to choose and once again I chose to continue sinning. It was easier and I needed the money.”

TIANA LYNN:

“I tried porn a year-and-a-half ago for three weeks. They [my agent DK] booked me for everything I didn’t want to do. I was in the hospital three times. Allergic to lube. Being pounded too hard. My cervix closed up. My ass got torn up.”

ERIN MOORE:

“Over the course of my porn career I have been belittled and treated like a piece of trash more than I could have ever imagined in a lifetime I would. I wasn’t a woman in any of these directors eyes, I was nothing to them. The male talent at times were nice, but sometimes, they were horrible. I’ve had men choke me, slap me, thrust me so hard until I couldn’t walk and this would happen even after I would tell them to stop. They have no respect for women.”

ASHLYN BROOKE:

“I honestly felt that if I had to have another strange man in my face, his hands (God knows where they’ve been all over me) him calling me his baby and having to exude some sort of forged passion for the world to see, I probably would have exploded. And what would have been stuck to the walls would have probably been nothing, just pieces of skin, bone, the brain of a robot, and what would have been left of what would have existed once as a huge and warm heart.”

TAMRA TORYN:

“As for myself, I ended up paying the price from working in the porn industry. In 2006, not even 9 months in, I caught a moderate form of dysplasia of the cervix (which is a form of HPV, a sexually transmitted disease) and later that day, I also found out I was pregnant. I had only 1 choice which was to abort the baby during my first month. It was extremely painful emotionally and physically. When it was all over, I cried my eyes out.”

this is what you support when you support porn, intentionally or unintentionally,  but no, these are just these womens personal experiences and there should be no class action done by victims of porn against what has exploited them.

you can find more here, actually just give this whole thing a read. there’s plenty links and sources.

oh and i found the study i was talking about, link here:

“88.2% contained physical aggression…” “Perpetrators of aggression were usually male, whereas targets of aggression were overwhelmingly female.”

oh how feminist and progressive!

sure you can “curate” the content you watch, but it will never be sure. “There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. That doesn’t make every consumer evil” and that’s your excuse for possibly consuming sexual exploitation content?

“oh noooo don’t hold me accountable for contributing and glorifying an industry that takes advantage of women and children, i can’t help it!”

by similar logic, the porn made of me was “amateur” porn, made by your average, everyday pedophile rather than a working pornographer (though they are often the same thing).

thing is, you will never know if the material you’re watching is sexually exploitative. you can never know if those filmed in the videos are properly consenting. read the last paragraph of my last reblog again, will your curating be able to differentiate between those who are unable to consent on screen? how would you ever know?
