Feminists want to legalise child prostitution

[DJLippy]

I just read an article about how the liberal left and feminism were working towards legalising child prostitution.

If anyone wants an insight into the SWERF slur and the debate around the legalisation of prostitution this is a brilliant place to start.

I cannot believe that in 2018 progressives are arguing that anyone who is against 'youth sex work' is a zealout.

Considering Telford, Rochdale ect how can the left be considering such moves? Does anyone believe the police would take those girls claims seriously if their abusers had a 'licence?'

The fact that she had to publish this article in a Conservative Christian magasine should speak volumes about the state of the Left today. Why isn't anyone angry about this???

Men often brag about offering to "take it out in trade" and they often write about how much they resent the "friendzone" when they "favor shark" women by insisting on helping them with things whether they like it or not. Women call them out. I suppose women asking for favors is the flip side of that.

Women, be they Feminist or not, do not oppose the pornstituion industry because they hate prostituted women any more than they oppose sweat shops because they hate workers or oppose child labor because they hate children.
The assertion is absurd on its face. Pimps invented the term "sex worker" to conflate the exploiter with the exploited and pose as the spokesperson for exploited women and children.
Don't fall for it. Advocating rape torture and abuse is antithetical to Feminism.

Seems like it would take forever just to get the kitchen done lass. I mean once you have found an electrician, plumber, kitchen fitter, tiler, decorator etc. And you know tradesmen like to go on at least three dates before putting out.

No wonder Sarah Beeny's always moaning about people's property developments overrunning.

And no of course children who are raped for money shouldn't be arrested for it. No feminist ever thought that (not even the woke femanists who think that 14 year olds can make a free and uncoerced choice to become "youth sex workers" )

What neutral word is available ? I loathe 'sex worker'. Prostitute is ok but still implies choice and moral degeneracy. For children under 16 - 'sex slave'. But what word can be used for adult women?

That's a good article.

Starrunner, it really seems like it's you who has the low opinion of all women, not feminists.

It's not child prostitution it's child abuse.

Yuk, the term 'youth sex work' is just grim.

I hate the idea being bandied everywhere at the moment that unless you are for total decriminalisation on all sides of prostitution you 'hate prostitutes' or you are a SWERF.

I don't want the idea that women are commodities that can be bought and sold like cheap handbags to be legitimised and normalised.

Strangely we don't end up with new posters talking about the morals of men who buy an orgasm.

This. Its never about the men. It's just totally accepted that men will use another human as nothing more than a fuck hole, beat them up, possibly murder them. No one ever questions that.

I am also about people like Neville Southall, who has a history of treating the women in his life pretty appallingly, being so invested in being 'inclusive of sex workers'. What's his skin in the game, I wonder.............? Bash feminists, keep women in their place and appear totally woke and progressive all at the same time?

I see that Sea Lions come in the 'sex pozzer' flavour too!

In all my years on the internet, most of the women (or people who pretend to be) that come onto these threads supporting 'sex work' do not work as prostitutes. Yet they wax lyrical about how 'empowering' 'sex work' is, and how 'johns are really nice guys', to their logical argument 'disabled men, what about their boner that needs servicing!' (yes I know, not that far off the incel argument, tbh).

Actual feminists support the Nordic Model - the decriminalisation of the prostituted women/children - and the criminalisation of johns/pimps. No one should be renting the body of another to masturbate into. And no other third party should be profiting from that either.

HappyStripper, 'nice' industry you supposedly work in. Even 'just stripping' is dangerous.

That should be a laminated stickie. So succinct.

Yet they wax lyrical about how 'empowering' 'sex work' is

At the time of the "grid girls" decision the Moral Maze was discussing whether consenting adults should be free to work in the "sex industry"

Melanie Philips was on the panel and they heard evidence from a stripper telling them how empowering her work was.

Philips is right wing, anti- feminist and generally libertarian but she also genuinely cares about the good of society (I might not agree with her on what is for the good of society but her beliefs are genuine)

Phillips came to the conclusion after hearing the evidence that stripping is not about empowering women but about shaming and humiliating women. What power is there? The stripper provokes an erection? Not really a big deal.

I have only seen stripping on films or tv and it makes me very uncomfortable for exactly the reasons Melanie Philips gave. Has anyone seen the Maxine Peake film "Funny Cow" or Altman's Nashville? The stripping scenes , particularly the Altman one, reak of humiliation not empowerment.
