'Bad Date and Aggressor' Sheet. Why we need feminism. VERY TRIGGERING.

[MrsTerryPratchett]

I dropped off some toiletries and so on to a local women's shelter today. I had to hang around because they were doing a shift handover. Eyes wandering, bored of waiting I saw the 'Bad Date and Aggressor' Sheet. Designed to keep the sex workers safe from rapists and men who rip them off. I used to have to type these up when I worked in shelters. Until I stopped because I just couldn't. The log books in the shelters have hundreds of these stories.

It is printed about every four days. This one was from the 6th December. There are 8 stories. 2 administered rape drugs (they have no memory but one woke up to a sexual assault), 2 rip-offs, 1 anal rape, 2 attempted sexual assaults, one assault.

This shit is so common. The chances are that none of these men will be reported to the Police (some chance considering the average sex workers experience with them). They will go back to their lives and possibly loving families.

All the NAMALT, whataboutery bullshit. It makes me so angry. When people talk about how prostitution is an empowered choice and men who use women in this way are just lonely and need 'love'. Just so angry.
