Enduring a form of rape is empowering if it’s financially lucrative?
Yeah, someone will need to explain that to me - because it just looks like a fundamentally misogynistic view of the ‘use value’ of a woman, and at odds with socialist thought on the value of individuals and the undesirability of them being physically exploited as a consequence of a capitalist market economy.
(And is it even lucrative? Doesn’t it often just support a lifestyle of subsistence drug addiction?)
- implements 4y agoIs the above comment really downvote worthy? - because it (“sex work is a form of rape”) was received left-wing feminist wisdom until recently. To be blunt, progressive -> inclusive -> sex work is morally fine just doesn’t cut it if the real politic is socially marginalised women having horrible sex with horrible men to fund their drug addictions, and I’m kind of shocked so many men who doubtless see themselves are right-thinkers manage to affect blindness to that because they enjoy watching pornography.
