all because I said I don’t want trans people to be raped in the sex trade btw.

Again a formality given what moots you show and the recommended blogs when I click onto this one.

Im just saying, your analogy is bad and your stance is bad. Actually promote enforcing the rape and trafficking laws we have. If all porn and sex work is done illegally and women never willfully go into porn and sex work, then enforcing rape and sex traficking laws will end porn and sex work.

You're mad at a symptom, and like yeah be mad women are raped and traficked, but get mad and try to change the system. Adding more laws to outlaw sex work, which in most countries is already illegal, doesn't solve the systematic issue. Adding more laws that men aren't going to enforce solves nothing.

I agree with you that capitalism is the root of many evil, and would consider myself a marxist feminist. However, I can acknowledge that prostitution is unique among types of exploitation because it is rape. Coerced work is a problem, but coerced sex is rape.

To address the bodily autonomy comment, I strongly believe in bodily autonomy, which is why I am against all forms of rape, paid or otherwise. If you are not free to say no, due to fear of hunger or homelessness, your yes means nothing. Therefore, prostitution is a violation of bodily autonomy rather than an expression of it.

Me on hearing about Barry Callebaut’s use of child labour: well damn, I really liked this local chocolate company but they make their chocolate out of the child labour cocoa so I gotta say goodbye
