This is counterintuitive. There is no such thing as “safe sex-work” and I’m glad we have her as VP to shut down these sites that ultimately hurt and traffic women. Protecting women shouldn’t be considered “controversial history” 🤦‍♀️

It always seems like the anti-capitalist, most "woke" men out there think a regular office job is exploitation but can't make the connection for prostitution.

Their is no such thing as safe sex work. Good for Vice President Harris for working to shut down site that only harmed women. Girls/women on these sites only do it for need of basic necessities and is trafficked. Letting men be involved in feminisms was such massive mistake. It has slowed down so much progress we could have made.

This just makes me like her MORE!

Backpage dot com is a cesspool of pimps, underage girls, and trafficked women. Whoever advocates for this garbage is a monster.

If sex work is empowering, why is it never the first choice?

biglakekoi · 2021-02-24T15:37:56+00:00

Are we ... supposed to be upset that she didn't empower the pimps and johns now? Everyone always talks about how prostituted women need access to "life-saving" sex work.... But does anyone see how disgusting that is? That women are so desperate to survive that they turn to selling their body??? Why is that ok.

gutsandgorey · 2021-02-24T16:13:00+00:00

BACKPAGE?! YOu mean the the site that trafficked thousands of underaged (and adult) girls?! I just had a fucking aneurism from this libfem bullshit.

Interesting_Day1188 · 2021-02-24T16:40:59+00:00

I used to be a big sex worker advocate. But you guys and this whole board have seriously challenged my views on that.

So many things that I didn't know where implanted in my brain as 'normal' and basically advocating for shitty dudes who aren't learning how to be respectful people.

Once you see it, you can't un-see it.

AyemHerself · 2021-02-24T15:59:26+00:00

If sex workers are only in the business out of a need for food and shelter, how are they consenting?

I commented these videos on another post but here:

On this youtube channel, he interviews homeless people almost all of the women are prostitutes either being pimped out or doing it on their own. In one interview someone said rapes happen all the time and one time one of the women got killed and left in the middle of the street and the person who did it wasnt found.

The reality of street prostitution:

What is safe sex work honestly, I bet that's just another way for scrotes to manipulate so they get sex.

SarcasmSlide · 2021-02-24T17:10:13+00:00

I guarantee if you track down the funding sources for this kind of stuff that it’s the pornography industry. Pornography and sex trafficking depend on the same supply and revenue sources. Larry Flynn involved himself heavily in politics. Hugh Hefner hobnobbed with the elite. It’s easy to assume they’re willing to spend a few bucks pushing propaganda: goofy attack ads like this, pro-porn articles and blog posts by women masquerading as feminists, paying online influencers to promote things like OnlyFans and other elements of pornified culture, astroturfing on Reddit, etc.

plummyjellyfish · 2021-02-25T04:22:54+00:00

My view of Liberal Feminists is that the vast majority of what they say is simply self-comfort/coping strategies. It is too unpleasant to face certain realities - like women being treated as objects for male sexual gratification - and too daunting a task to try and break the system.

Their whole shtick is 'reframing' the narrative, so that instead of a man using a woman as a masturbation device, the woman is instead merely exploring her sexuality and being paid handsomely for it to boot.

The reframing becomes outright lies or propaganda at times, such as when their focus is principally on the minority of prostitutes who get to choose their clients, or when they claim that watching sexually explicit, violent material has no bad effects.

Again, this is very much about self-deception. They want you to believe it as well, because otherwise you might disrupt the comforting lies they have spun up around themselves. No matter how much the facts are staring them in the face, they will not acknowledge them because it goes against their dogma.

SkiesEclipse · 2021-02-24T16:02:22+00:00

Backpage was taken down in my country due to all the human trafficking. Of course sex workers complained and lobbied the government because it took away one of their main income sources, but they were denied. It was spun in the media of “oh no! Think of the poor sex workers! How will they live? How will they remain safe?” I have no empathy for women who would advertise on a platform that extorts others, and would knowingly bring back the exploitation of women and children so they can continue to make a buck.

SoftFortune64 · 2021-02-24T20:24:29+00:00

For fuck's sake! They'll try anything to make her look bad, won't they? By what logic are these bad things? Even more glad I voted for her now.

loleetahaze · 2021-02-24T19:01:00+00:00

Backpage was full of underage ppl, trafficked ppl, pimps etc. and the clients or the providers weren't vetted. Same goes for the other sites.

The legalization of prostitution will only increase rape, trafficking etc. because it a) emboldens pimps and johns and b) increases demand.

RikaRikaw · 2021-02-24T22:12:24+00:00

Bruh, even if (for the sake of the argument) those women in the street were there because they actually wanted, they will never, ever be safe. There will always be the looming threat of STDs, unwanted pregnancies, clients who push the boundries, clients not paying, clients being violent, and oh yeah, FUCKING SERIAL KILLERS WHO WILL ALWAYS TARGET THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE EASY PREY, and all of this and much more will always happen, no matter how "legal and safe" prostitution becomes The best bet it to cut the bad by the roots, ban sex work altogether if this is the only way to protect women and girls, then so be it Sorry for bad english if any

Alisha_Reddit · 2021-02-25T18:02:26+00:00

"Leaving many unable to pay their bills' is the same stupid agrument when talking about child/slave labour. "Well, if we don't support it, these kids wouldn't make any money"

So you agree, they're FORCED into it?

Seema like she's changed her tune: https://www.theroot.com/exclusive-kamala-harris-calls-for-decriminalization-of-1832883951

On a more promising note, Harris says she is open to seeing sex work decriminalized. For those who have criticized her support of SESTA (The Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act of 2017) and FOSTA (Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017), her willingness to explore decriminalization may be welcome news—or not.

This is good, but I hope there are also exit programmes being put in place.
