We talk all the time about why it's dangerous to suggest that sex workers should be responsible for curbing incel violence.

Oh yeah and when called out for lying, Erin Taylor blocked us 🤡

EmpyrealMarch · 2021-03-25T02:54:38+00:00

The crazy thing is the "sex workers do not exist to absorb male violence" comes from radical feminist thought! It's why we want to abolish prostitution in the first place!!!!! It's wild how they can see radical feminist discourse, parrot it word for word, and still say that radical feminism is exclusionary, patriarchal, and wrong.

Holy shit. We do care about sex workers. We want them to be safe, happy, and healthy AWAY from sex work which actively hurts them! We don't think a woman's value decreases through sex work but men do. That's why we advocate against libfem bullshit like "Sex work is work" and "Porn is empowering" because it's NOT. Men will just use these women and throw them away.

nieces-pieces · 2021-03-25T02:46:40+00:00

Fixed it-

“[Women are prostituted] to absorb male violence and sexual entitlement”

“Incels... don’t view [prostituted women] as people”

My god. The cognitive dissonance.

Jeebus that's some Stephen Glass level journalism. "Might as well just make it up, nobody will know the difference!"

If you post a post in FDS with basically any keyword relating to porn or sex work, Automod automatically posts a comment about how FDS does not condone the sex industry.

I've never tested that theory but I sure see that Automod comment a lot.

Love the gloss over of incels not considering these women as humans.

If she had basic comprehension she would have realized the actual problem.

veruscka · 2021-03-25T05:21:20+00:00

We don't shame women who have prostituted themselves, we shame the men (and women) who pretend sex work is a necessary evil to placate male libido. Porn has warped men's sexual expectations and OnlyFans etc has made men feel entitled to asking literally any woman for nudes and if she's being compensated then he doesn't have to feel guilty.

FDS ladies typically care very much about women who are forced into prostitiution and exploited for profit. The whole conversation around "sex work" reminds me so much of the history of child labor reform. Many people were complacent about young children working in factories and mines and shit until the 1930s. The people who benefitted from child labor tried to legitimize it while the people who actually cared about children advocated for child labor to not exist at all.

Weremaid · 2021-03-25T02:56:17+00:00

Huh? I’ve only ever seen the opposite. Most of us recognize that incels won’t be “cured by sex” the way they want everyone to think, their real problem is misogyny and narcissism. Sex workers are a vulnerable population and sex work is exploitative to begin with even without adding incels to the equation.

Does she not get what sarcasm is? If she saw any FDS posts or comments about incels needing to see sex workers because they should be absorbing all the male violence then Im 100% sure it was sarcastic.

spinsterchachkies · 2021-03-25T06:27:18+00:00

Does she know what radical feminism is and it’s stance on prostitution because she sounds dumb af

Velveteen_Woman · 2021-03-25T04:10:07+00:00

I've never ever seen that idea floated here. Maybe she's confused with one of the troll groups?

GoldandGlowing · 2021-03-25T05:09:37+00:00

Socialized clown behaviour.

SMansdotter · 2021-03-25T09:17:12+00:00

As a journalist, I feel I need to apologize for her gross spelling and grammar.

Also her complete misconduct by misleading sources and lying, of course.

But mostly her spelling and grammar.

“WoW look at me!!!1 Do I have the attention of my morbidly obese twitter demographic yet?”

Novemberinthechair · 2021-03-25T09:38:54+00:00

Journalist? 🤭😏 that person can barely master basic grammar let alone AP style. I bet they couldn't spell the word citation much less produce one.

Summerisle7 · 2021-03-25T16:36:59+00:00

Once in a while a new FDS member will express this idea, that men who are too hopeless to get a girlfriend should hire someone instead. Usually it's said in a joking or derogatory manner. I always try to report this when I see it because it's not what FDS promotes. There should be no "class" of women whose "job" it is to service men so us "normal" women don't have to. We are 100% opposed to prostitution here, for anyone for any reason. full stop.

jargon_explosion · 2021-03-25T13:57:46+00:00

Number of shooting incidents by women where men were the primary/only target: 0

I've been on FDS for months now and it's rare to see a comment (not post) wishing violence on men. I've never seen a post. If it existed at some point it likely got taken down quickly or stopped entirely by the bots. To equate what has become of the incel community with this community is either ignorant or disingenuous.

Awkward-Plane-6617 · 2021-03-26T14:25:07+00:00

As an ex “sex worker”, this is the only sub I can actually feel safe and free to discuss my actual experiences with it, without the libfem narrative that “sex work is empowering”.

It’s so ironic someone would call this sub out for being against sex workers when in reality, this is one of the few safe spaces on the internet for women like me to discuss and be honest about our REAL experiences in prostitution.

islandmaiden · 2021-03-25T15:43:42+00:00

She's so close to figuring it out. It's almost like incels are the problem, no?

P.S. I also don't agree when others say incels should just see sex workers, because these women shouldn't shoulder the abuse and hate these men harbor for women. But isn't it that the female journalist who works for Vice was the one who advocates for sex work in that it's necessary in quenching the thirst men have for sex so that they don't go around raping women like they "used to"? Idk if my memory serves me right but I definitely read some libfem woman posted here who said that about FDS being SWERF.

Salt_Satisfaction · 2021-03-25T19:03:04+00:00

But that's the opposite of what we say here? I've been here several months and on the contrary, we are against sex work (not sex workers) because they are the ones who have to deal with violent sexual behavior from men. I've seen former sex workers here, they're not excluded from this subreddit.

We repeatedly say here that the argument of "prostitution is actually good because it decreases sex crime in society" is nonsense because it sacrifices prostitutes and sex workers for the worst kind of male sexuality. They are part of society too, and a vulnerable and abused demographic at that.

I want to believe that she just skimmed through a few posts and decided that's probably how we think, instead of doing her research and knowingly lying.
