stop assuming that ALL swers operate in the same way. what works for one may not work for another. lumping us all together is harmful. and making assumptions instead of asking questions sucks and puts us in really uncomfortable positions. and atleast for me, feeling SO unsafe.

Please stop telling women that having a gun will automatically make them safer.
A lot of times when I post about gender violence, people respond saying women should carry guns and shoot men who try to abuse and assault them. Here’s a brief thread on why I think this is a really bad suggestion

The real MeToo “cancel culture” was what happened to the women and other victims who came forward. They were retraumatized, harassed, humiliated, sued, fired, and blacklisted. Then they were the subject of a revisionist history that MeToo went “too far” and deserved a reactionary backlash

I could go on for hours about how much I hate this and how casually sex workers are dehumanized because of it.
Are other sex workers absolutely livid about the constant discussion and speculation about Jack the Ripper, and the awful content made about it?

Am I right to challenge people who self-describe as a "harlot" and does videos & books on "fallen women" that make videos about this shit?

Can't say I'm surprised. When a society tries ban or block anything sexual, people start getting more into kinks and fetishes.

A lot of people are sexual and they're going to find some way to be able to experience it.

Yes, Trump’s attacks on the Black community are egregious, but Black people have always been in the crosshairs. Desegregation may have happened but the government from Nixon to now has made sure to try to disenfranchise the Black vote and Black people and use negative stereotypes along the way

The Trump Administration wants to undo generations of progress in addressing racial discrimination against Black people.

No matter what, we will always fight for a version of “We the People” that includes everyone.

And it doesn't stop at porn.

Its also sex ed. it's also information about sexual health. It's also written erotica. Its also stores that sell sex toys. It's also anything that's pro lgbtq. It's also sex scenes in movies.

It will impact everyone eventually.
A national ban on porn would put many queer, disabled, and marginalized people at jeopardy for losing their livelihoods.

It can't just be industry members that fight back. We need every porn consumer to fight back too.

Gentle reminder:

The fight for abortion rights and the fight for sex workers' rights are inherently connected because the major opposition to both is rooted in the idea that women do not deserve bodily autonomy and cannot be trusted to know what's best for them.

Its not just that the sex trafficking myths around the super bowl make life harder for sex workers, it's that the diversion of resources and media attention makes stories like this go under the radar for most people
In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse.

The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million
Louisiana coerced unhoused people into an unheated warehouse – and paid $17.5m for it
Dozens of New Orleanians were bused to a site with insufficient heating and blankets days before the city is to host the Super Bowl

If you’re anti porn, you’re anti queer
when trans & queer people are 🤏 this close to being deemed “pornographic” by the government AND a bill was just introduced to ban all porn and their workers via Project 2025…

if you’re anti-porn, you’re anti-queer. I do not trust you.

The goal is slavery . It’s pure unmitigated slavery

Musk has said it . Anyone arguing otherwise is soft pedaling because they don’t want to deal with how comfortable they were with the warning signs as long as they got to be better
I don’t think the only or even primary goal is re-segregation. It’s total human enslavement to corporations. Re-segregation is jusd a stop on that train. Explicit white supremacy and patriarchy are being used to make techno-fascism seductive to the masses.
