Is this feminism?

I've just read about a 23 year old who comes from a wealthy background and plans to sleep with 1,000 men in 24 hrs.

In the article*, she calls herself a feminist and says she feels empowered.

I don't understand why this woman wants to do this. I can obviously understand the financial aspect but she talks about the event taking place in a warehouse with men coming in one door and leaving out the other.

I'm obviously behind the times because when I was that age, women didn't aspire to live stream themselves having sex with countless men.

I'm wondering what the hell has happened for women to choose to do this and think it's empowering. These women have the support of their families which I also don't understand.

Maybe not but the last thread about someone doing something similar was absolutely filled with misogyny directed at the woman involved. It was desperately unpleasant.

Yes it was appalling. I'm more interested in how we've got here as a society and the way people view feminism than badmouthing her.

It's her choice and body so is that supporting women's choices. But knowing every man there has no respect for her is so degrading. I have no idea whether this is feminist empowering or just disgusting.

"Your body, your choice " is a fucking con. Women and girls have been fed this line for decades now in the pretence that's it's empowering them. It's a systemic con job that these people have utterly fallen for and men are fucking delighted.

It's the same degradation of our bodies though, the same usage, the same misogyny, the same disrespect of women as old as time, only this time, they've been conned into thinking it's fucking empowering.

These men are just fucking an orifice. Not one will take this girl home to meet their families, or would want her as a life partner.

1,000 men? Fills me with disgust and bile and fear. Someone's father, son, brother. 😞

She's not telling other women what to do so no, it's not feminism

Its a job, how is any job feminist? You can work in the sex industry and believe men and women should have equal rights.

Show quote history

Feminism is about equality, dignity and respect for women.

What's so dignified about a thousand men using your body as a fleshlight? Do you believe these men see her as an equal and respect her?

Feminism is not about the sexual objectification of women, it's the opposite. It's not about catering to men and their desires, it's the opposite.

It’s all about the money.

I feel like she has mental health issues tbh. Choosing who you sleep with, or what kinks you enjoy, may well be empowering, but choosing to sleep with so many people that there will be very little enjoyment and possibly pain/injury really isn't healthy. I also feel slightly nauseous at the motivation of the men involved in this.

I think there's more to it than that and she's gone down a slippery slope. It says in the article that she's graduated from a few saucy pictures on Only fans to porn and her motivation is money.

Over the years I've read about female students turning to sex work to pay their fees and stripping became an acceptable side hustle.

Girls and young women pose on social media wearing very little. I've heard their mum's encouraging it saying it's feminist. What I find most disturbing is the way their parents seem to go along with it.

It seems as though girls are being groomed by society into sex work.

How crap in bed are the guys? The time alone for 1000 guys in 24 hours is 1m.44 secs each. Allow a bit time for...well...getting it in, even as a young man not sure I could get there quite as quick as that. 😂
