âOldest profession in the world is prostitutionâ is such a violently misogynistic statement that I canât even fathom it.
No because even if you ignore the context of the colonising imperialist who coined that phrase, huh?
Do you think for 30,000 years, half of the human species was doing nothing but spreading her legs for a grapefruit? You donât think we were doing anything before that?
You can only comprehend female history, even as far back as the ancient world, in the context of us getting raped in exchange for goods? Thatâs it?
The hunters? The labourers? The farmers? The gatherers? The scouts? The child rearers? The healers? The builders?
You think itâs in any way empowering to claim the first piece of womenâs working history is just our vaginas getting fucked by strangers? Are you serious? Thinking about it gets me mad.
