[Image description: Series of Twitter thread by user @/RiotLinguist.
The first tweet is a quote retweet. The original tweet being quoted is by user @/Dleetafterdeath and reads: "Just pay for sex. The service exists for a reason."
The the thread itself reads: "sex workers are not a societal outlet for violent sexually entitled men. they are workers and they are people. supporting sex workers does not mean assuming their de facto sexual availability.
posts like this always reveal that the person actually thinks of sex work the same way SWERFs do: the presence of money bypasses the need for safety and consent
while simultaneously thinking of sex workers the same way johns do: they think of sex workers as people who have basically forfeited the right to standards, to decide when and with whom they have sex. sex workers are assumed to be consenting until proven otherwise.
the perception of sex workers as always de facto consenting, or of bypassing consent by way of exchange of money, is the attitude that fuels the extraordinarily high rates of physical and sexual violence sex workers face: their bodies are assumed to be publicly available goods.
an incel simply doesn't have an inherent right to access sex. sex will not fix or help an incel, bc the problem is their sexual entitlement. treating sex workers as the one demographic whose bodies are inherently sexually available (for money) AFFIRMS that entitlement.
i genuinely don't know how to explain that the idea that aggrieved sexual entitlement can be solved by a transactional exchange where the incel/john is almost certain to feel MORE entitled to sex as a paying customer is not a sex-worker-supportive position.
incels are not any more entitled to paid sex than they are to unpaid sex. the presence of money does not change anything. you still have to get consent from a sex worker, and consent is the thing that incels are furious about. they are furious that women are able to refuse them.
you cannot solve aggrieved entitlement & rage at the fact that women are allowed to refuse them sex by pointing to a type of women you assume will not refuse them sex. YOU are the one assuming sex work "solves the problem" of refusal! that's not anti-SWERF!
READ THIS FUCKING BOOK [Link to the book Revolting Prostitutes by Juno Mac and Molly Smith is attached]
Once again liberalism is just patriarchal christian morality with extra steps [Screenshot of text is attached that reads: "Liberal support for regulationism is linked to the notion that prostitution is something innate, perennial, inevitable – the dirty job that someone has got to do. This has deep roots: Christian theologians, for instance, have argued that commercial sex is an outlet for sexual impulses that would otherwise result in worse sins.4 The patriarchal double standard praises men for having multiple sexual partners but shames and condemns women for the same. Mathematically, the only way for men to practice promiscuity while allowing the majority of women to remain ‘respectable’ is for a small number of women to be extremely sexually active."]
AND ALSO once again, patriarchal christian morality is just greco-roman patriarchy with extra steps. time is a flat circle, nothing changes. [Screenshot of text is attached that reads: "Moreover, the types of sexualized situations shown on pots are not those associated (at least publicly) with connubial relationships. Johnson and Ryan describe the role of the prostitute “as some kind of societal safety valve” that allowed men to gratify themselves without subjecting free women to sexual violence or other behavior that might be viewed as below the station of wives.10 In Xenophon’s Memorabilia, Socrates implies this when he claims that the purpose of wives is to beget children, while the streets of Athens offer plenty of opportunities for men to satisfy their lust."]
