danwasd Pronounsthey/them A Popster Is Born 15,993 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Lipa responded to the backlash in a new cover story for Rolling Stone on Thursday (Jan. 14), noting that the bash at the strip club was actually the opposite of anti-feminist. “I just feel like, if you’re a feminist, you have to also support women in all fields of work,” she explained. “We have to support sex workers, we have to believe that that [work] is their choice and their right." It seems quite hypocritical, I think, people picking and choosing as to how they want to support women and when it suits them," she continued. "That’s another form of misogyny, which really derives from the male gaze.” So, what do you think? Is it misogynistic to not support sex workers? I personally believe that this is a very liberal -in the bad meaning- way of seeing feminism.

Modern Ecstasy2 PronounsShe/Her/Hers Community Leader 454 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Feminism includes love & support for sex workers, recognizes sex work as legitimate work and the right for people to engage in in safely. Period. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyMetalLover ARTPOPster 2,401 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 @danwasdI agree with Dua’s well-stated stance on this. To pick and choose how to support women is a form of misogyny. 9 hours ago, danwasd said: So, what do you think? Is it misogynistic to not support sex workers? I personally believe that this is a very liberal -in the bad meaning- way of seeing feminism. Between this and your questionable posts regarding censoring Trump, you seem pretty conservative. Please elaborate on your extremely shady remark about “bad” liberalism? It’s bad to support a woman’s autonomy over her body and sexuality? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally believe that this is a very liberal -in the bad meaning- way of seeing feminism. It's not misogynistic but it's the wrong conclusion. This and trans issues are where radical feminism gets it wrong and liberal feminism is right. Personal agency and choice matter. There is no profession where we aren't "selling our body" and so by being anti sex work, radical feminists only worsen the already stigmatized position sex workers have. Sex work should be legal so people can choose to do it safely and on their own terms. And they should not be looked down on for it. It's a result of material conditions in a capitalist society and some women would literally get no other job. By being anti sex work, people are depriving many of the ability to make some money to sustain themselves. And by criminalizing it, exploited sex workers are under pressure not to report it because they'll be harassed or prosecuted by the cops. Dua is absolutely right here. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaelergrey Pronounshim/his/he Community Leader 1,294 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I agree about this. Legally aged consenting sex workers shouldn't just be given the rights but they should also be given protection. Their work is dangerous and alot of sex workers are getting killed. They just dont report it in the news most of the time cause of the stigma around this profession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkje PronounsShe/her/hers Moderator 9,688 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Saying this, just in case. I'd rather prevent than having to step in as a mod :) I can see this turning into something sensitive. Have your conversations and discussions, but remain respectful! Not everybody is gonna agree with you :) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
