iconoclasm rules

very funny seeing people on here criticize "born this way" rhetoric for stifling them in their self-identification. so you agree? unlike the rest of us, lgb people, you were not born this way?

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

interesting how kinks and fetishes are okay with the ‘queer community’ and ‘kink shaming’ is bad but they’ll call lesbians ‘genital fetishists’ for not liking penis hmmm

This is exactly what I've been saying. Some people are like "well, I agree with not using grape or unalive, but there's nothing wrong with SA or CSA!" And no. I'm in the printing business. You know how many companies I see whose names would fit those acronyms? And you think people are going to take sexual assault and child sexual abuse discussions seriously with those? For fuck's sake. If it's about shortening the terms in a long post, then you state them in full at the beginning and use the acronyms afterward. There is no excuse to use those acronyms in a single paragraph or less.

trans girls are allowed to be annoying and stereotypical and socially inept and hyperactive and hypersexual and various types of animalgirl and there's nothing you can do about it. in fact if you're mean to that skirt go spinny reddit trans girl i'm stealing your entire house

”Men are allowed to be [things men have always been].”
