not to open a can of worms right before i fuck off to the cinema with my head chef, but if you think prostitution should be 100% legalised and should be a job just like any other where you exchange your labour/skills for money then the logical extension is that if you are unwilling to do “sex work” while claiming unemployment benefits you would be cut off for refusing “reasonable” employment
this already happened in germany, perfectly legally. though the general consensus among job centers is that women should not have their benefits cut if they turn down prostitution jobs, it’s completely legal to do so
Exactly. I actually did a poll on my instagram story asking if people would be willing to do yardwork and/or suck dick to make up money to pay their landlord, like what @radfemman4womenslib described in one of his posts. Most people said yes for the first, no for the second. 🤷🏾♀️
Then, in a third poll, I asked if they thought sex work was real work. I’ll find y’all them
My paternal grandmother lives in the mountains of Haiti. She refuses to leave her little plot of land and her animals. Till this day, I have yet to see my grandmother wear heels, lipstick or any sort of makeup. She was married young, she had 8 children which she raised while still working the farmlands. My grandmother doesn’t wear pink, My grandmother doesn’t pitch her voice purposely, my grandmother does flutter her eyelashes, she doesn’t wear glitter, the most she’ll ever do with her syrupy black hair is two Wendy style braids.
My grandmother never had to wake up and contemplate that she was a woman. Her mere existence is a staunch reminder of that. The toll of being woman is marked throughout her body. From raking framlands with a full belly, to feeling her sore old joints when she lays at night, a reminder of the burden of womanhood at old age. Her dark and aged fingers tells the story of the earth she worked and the children she cared for. I refuse to allow anyone overshadow her womanhood with high heels and gold dresses and a penis. Fuck that. You know nothing about being a woman.
Being a woman is pregnancy and farming. Ok.
It’s really interesting that’s all you got from this. For many women that’s the reality that they face everyday. For many women in third world countries it’s carrying children that they don’t necessarily want and having the responsibility to take care of them and entire fucking families
Being a women is being placed in positions that you didn’t necessarily ask for
Being a women mean shelling out kids because your husband and your country doesn’t believe in contraceptions
But since you want to reduce your activism to your 1st world bullshit. Like this is why white feminist can’t ever be trusted I swear to fucking God.
Being a woman has nothing to do femininity and everything to do with the responsibility enshrined because of the female body.
You should probably stop identifying as radical if you’re refusing to acknowledge the life of women in underdeveloped countries.
