I told y'all years ago that this take isn't, and will never be it, but people keep saying shit like this and getting accolades. It's like y'all think hoes live to cater to "regular" women's violent leftovers. Do y'all not see us fighting police/cis male violence just the same? https://twitter.com/imani_yvonne2/status/1280697887979167746
I had to block because idgaf what this person has to say. I saw the rest of that convoluted, ignorant ass thread and, frankly she's just as ignorant as that sl*mflower mfer that mfers tried to drag me over last year. No amount of explanation covers that first tweet. It's ugly.
Y'all know damn well that the existence of sex workers doesn't reduce violence against women and children in this country. We live in America, and sex workers experience high levels of (police) violence. Let's not be obtuse. I'm sorry your dating coaches don't read.
Maybe listen to experienced erotic laborers and advocates instead of relationship gurus who borrow our rhetoric and think they can foist dangerous men off on whores to protect non-whores. Because that's exactly what was said, nothing was misconstrued.
And no matter how many isms these women try to say they are against they still engage in these isms. "Psycho"? Ableism. Sex workers exist to protect other women from violent men? Whorephobia. Fuck faux allies. Some of you got just knowledgeable enough to peddle bullshit.
Also: all sex workers are not cis women and the rate of violence against black whores is generally high regardless of the medium they utilize. The stigma is high, even for those who appear well off.
Thank goodness for whores though, right?

I'm laughing because this is the same logic that leads people (cis women) to believe that sex strikes make men bow down. It's "pussy power" logic. Like someone in my replies said, it feeds the idea that everything is about sex for cis men. And feeds other types of bigotry too.
