I want to make something really clear that I think Anti-Choice people have failed to understand that Pro Choicers definitely saw coming.
An exception for Rape, Life of the Mother, and Incest mean nothing when you have to prove it in a court of law, or get a team of lawyers and judges to sign off on it which can take weeks or even months.
Weeks a person dying hasn't got. Women are now dying. Actually dying. Because hospitals legally could not save their lives until they could wake up a judge and get their lawyers, and another sides lawyers awake and up and figured out if it was actually necessary or not. All people with no understanding of medicine, and no attatchment to the person suffering who simply doesn't want to die.
There's a lot more I could cover, like the increase in illegal abortion, abortion tourism, the massive increase in infant abandonment... but I'm going to leave it here.
People are dying. People who should be alive. Who would be alive if abortion was legal and the hospital could have simply treated their patient without waiting for a dozen men with no medical experience in another building to decide if their patient actually needs treatment or not. And yes they do have to wait. Because if they don't they get charged with murder for trying to save a life.
Your policies are killing people. Not theoretical people. Not fetuses with no conscious thought or pain. Adults with lives. Teenagers with a whole life ahead of them. Mothers with children who need them. Real people with conscious thought, with fear, with pain. People who meet every definition of personhood.
i guess intersex people are only worthwhile when you can use them as a pawn?
They absolutely should be, those videos should be removed and YouTube and Tiktok should be held liable for the damage that they do when they show people at their most vulnerable and turn them into clowns for entertainment. I’d be willing to support a movement built around stopping the idea that existing in public means agreeing to having your image posted for billions to see and mock and for YouTube to make money from.
Call me none of the above. If someone is drugged they are considered incapable of consent, pornhub is not making sure their actors are sober.
My criticisms of the porn and sex industry come from a place of worker’s rights and safety and from the importance of consent as a freely given act so people who just decide to video tape themselves having sex, have proper safety precautions for dealing with seminal and vaginal fluids, all of whom have the right at any point to destroy access to those videos, all of whom are in a mindset to consent, none of them necessarily needing the money to survive (because fuck me or starve, fuck me or die on the streets, fuck me or get deported aren’t actual choices. The same applies to ‘work for me or starve, die on the streets, get deported.’), who get to actively decide who’s watching to continue their consent. Those people are fine, power to them, but I don’t think they represent a majority of the industry and I to get to the point where they are the industry needs to be looked at critically.
the fact that criticizing the sex industry is seen as more oppressive than the sex industry itself should really make people think
It’s kind of tragic how feminism that seeks to placate males is like ‘maybe if I was nicer to him he wouldn’t hit me, it’s kind of my fault really.’ But about an entire portion of the population.
… What do people even expect the answer to be when someone rejects them and they ask, ‘why?’ Because the ‘why’s’ going to hurt their feelings no matter what, it doesn’t feel good to not get what you want and all. It always happens too, people rarely go, ‘Will you go out with me?’ ‘Oh, no thank you’ ‘understandable have a nice day’ it’s usually ‘well why won’t you date me?’ What do they want from that? To be told they’re not attractive to the person? That they don’t share a lot of interests? There’s no answer that gets people into that, ‘understandable, have a nice day’ position… Part of me thinks it’s just to justify their anger over the situation. ‘I’m not mad that I was told no- I’m totally fine with being told no- but it’s kind of fucked up to not want to be in a relationship for <Any given reason> isn’t love supposed to be beyond that sort of thing?’
To that anon: I like keeping positive comments to hold. It was sweet and I'm glad you sent it. I hope you find people who you feel free to learn and discourse with freely.
Hey, as a black female I’m pretty sure you’re just using people like me as a prop but if you want a real answer, feel free to respond with a ‘sure’!
me: hey so uhhhh if being a woman must be experienced one certain way then how do you factor in women of colour or women from other countries into that?
radfem i have the displeasure of speaking to: shut up i'm not even going to reply to that go read a feminist book
… Tbh it feels weird to judge any female celebrity for being mediocre while males get to be as boring as they want and make millions from it (and get to be the ones in charge of the industry at large)
I have preestablished biases and beliefs about the world, I acknowledge that and am willing to adjust with new information shared.
