I would be real disappointed if that was true

Also, why are pronouns bad when we do it?

      The first paragraph is very:

      If you are not a liberal at 25, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative at 35 you have no brain.

      Which has been a pet peeve of mine for a while. I think usually because they don’t give any reasoning or explanation. It’s just “you don’t understand the world yet”, then explain it to me!

      I feel like the intent has to be just to dismiss young people’s views as being out of touch, without offering anything better.

      Wait thinking Johns are gross is being detached from reality now? Really? Have any of these people actually talked to anyone in real life? Even fucking dudebros hate on Johns and call them simps lmao. Like I’m telling you, you’re not going to find much support for this in the real world. There’s a reason men don’t solicit sex workers in public and tell their wives about it.

      There’s a reason sex work models in some countries make “selling” legal but “buying” illegal. It’s a real thing in the real world.

        Didn’t we just have an anti-SWERF struggle session a couple months ago? I thought the consensus was that sex has already been commodified and that sex work is no more “selling your body” than coal mining or any of a number of other jobs is, and that if you’re taking particular offense to sex work you should seriously reconsider whether that energy is coming from a sexist slut-shaming puritanical place or truly from your leftist values.

        I didn’t take any particular stance on the issue because I’m neither sex worker, nor john, nor a woman. I guess I’m saying this partly to restate the strict anti-SWERF hexbear line, and partly to clarify my own understanding, not to attack you personally because I don’t think you’ve said anything necessarily incompatible with this, but it could be taken that way.

      Yeah, those shitlibs really drove my brain cells to the brink of death in such an intense way that it awoke me from my 2 year old slumber. No more lurking, only dunking from now on. knifecat
