Ok, long post warning, I'm angry.

I get that sex work is very often if not almost always an incredibly shitty, dangerous job that a lot of people would prefer not to do. Believe me, I know.

But it's a job.

Not wanting to do the job unless you get paid IS A NORMAL PART OF A JOB. There might be a culture of pretending to enjoy your job if you work in corporate, but don't let that fool you. The pretend-satisfaction is just another part of the job.

You cannot make the point the OP is making here without treating sex like something fundamentally, morally different from other types of labour. This is pure radfem "appeal to disgust" type shit.

Yes, stuff you do just because you need money and food and housing is... not typically super enjoyable.

Yes, the people who pay you in your job are very much aware that you aren't there out of personal enthusiasm... and they don't care. It's also not some kind of psychopath trait to not really care that the people you're reimbursing for a service are just in it for the money.

Do I need to feel bad when I order a drink for knowing my cheerily smiling waiter wouldn't serve me if they weren't getting paid?

(=> a note here. If you think paying someone entitles you to mistreat them, you're a piece of shit. But that is just as true for someone who screams at a waiter or assaults a retail worker. The problem here is that OP thinks having sex with someone for money is intrinsically abusive, regardless of whether a john *actually* abuses a sex worker. Imagine we decided that working retail was so intrinsically awful that we collectively lost the ability to vocalize the difference between the drudgery of a grocery store checkout shift and *getting beaten up by a customer* on your shift)

And yes, people paying you for stuff will very often just as gladly take the stuff without paying for it, if they think they can get away with it. Which fucking sucks, but here we are. Everyone who has ever gotten scammed, raise your hand. Everyone who has ever been forced into unpaid hours in order to keep or get a job, raise your hand.

These are qualities that ALL jobs share.

If the bosses of your non-sexwork job can get away with making you do work and not paying you for it? THEY WILL.

Look at all the industries having strikes right now. If there is a way around fair wages, bosses and companies will find and use it. Wage theft is the world's most common type of robbery.

And if the bosses of your non-sexwork job can get away with putting you in danger to make a profit? HELL YES THEY WILL.

Think of how near every industrial accident is caused by skimping on maintenance and safety, think of how many people have died from exposure to dangerous substances and environments because bosses in the know didn't want to shill for PPE. Honestly, if an industry sees a way to get away with a human rights violation for profit, they won't fucking hesitate.

This is a shitty but bog standard part of being employed. Unions have had to fight for every bit of protection employees have in most sectors. Every regulation is written in blood.

Sex work is only different in the way our societies have moralized it and left it devoid of any protection, even the meagre protection of assumed common humanity that gives most people at least a moment of pause. No Humans Involved is always in the back of my head.

If you're more interested in creating a world where men can't get sex than a world where sex workers have human rights and workers' rights and both are fucking respected, you are a piece of shit.

If you think that a man being able to offer someone money and get laid is somehow more morally reprehensible than the way our society has decided that people who offer paid sexual services are not really people, you are a piece of shit.

Book 2 au: sparring sessions and short hair katara

They like to have sparring sessions in order to keep their bending skills sharp. They allow themselves to go all out and not hold back at all cause they know if anyone got hurt, Katara could just heal them

But anyways, wouldn't it be kinda funny if Zuko accidentally burned Katara's hair tho? Aofkqldkkajfjd

The "I think we can save the hairloops" line is from @linnoya-writes thank you for that!! :>>

The realest part of the Barbie Movie was when Barbie was like "okay but what if this hurts his feelings? what if this makes him sad? :(" after Ken stole her house, stole her car, and stole her agency, because as a woman you still have to second guess everything you do on the assessment of whether it might hurt a man's feelings.

And then that apprehension was proven right one million times over by the entire Conservative Internet Manosphere pissing and shitting and screaming themselves hoarse over Barbie daring to hurt a man's feelings.

Aspec men deserve much more respect and recognition in the aspec community than they receive. They often face a different form of aphobia specific to them ("men are naturally sexual they can't be ace" "all men are unromantic that's not unique") this rhetoric is spouted by many, even members of our own community and I hope for a day where that is no longer the case. As an ace and demiro woman (demigirl but that's beside the point) I want to encourage folks to take the time to give the aspec men in their lives support and to the aspec men reading, you are who you say you are no matter what people say and you deserve the world. I'm sorry for the ways in which toxic masculinity has harmed you. You are a valued member of the aspec community and the queer community as a whole. No ace or aro person is broken and neither are you. I'm sorry if anyone has ever told you otherwise.

i really don't understand how people can say stuff like this and not realize they're being intensely misogynistic

"This is some gay shit" Good. Silly. Fair enough. Doesn't inherently invalidate other interpretations of the relationship. Honestly yeah, it is kind of gay regardless of their canonical relationship status

It's absolutely true that delusions can take on religious elements and be fueled in part or whole by religion, but dear l-rd, do I hate when people blanket all religion under this whole "it's all delusion, anyway!!!".

No it is not, and I know that because I know what it's like to have gone through delusions! I was reminded of that difference recently, and I'm religious. Not everything that you personally disagree with is a delusion, a narcissistic power play, or anything else. Sometimes you disagree with others. I am pretty religious, but I am more than willing to agree with non-theists about their opinions because they come up with good ideas and we are equal human beings. In fact, the atheist has strengthened my own religious beliefs because I am challenged by them to actually think things through. My whole issue with this is the - funnily enough - holier-than-thou, stigmatizing attitudes that are necessary to say things like that.

As someone who has a vested interest in mental health and accurate information about it, this stuff unironically angers me. The human in me wants to educate people, but the ape in me wants to take away the terms delusional, narcissistic, gaslighting, and every mental health term under the sun away until people learn how to properly use and apply them. The only people you are hurting are people who are already hurting.

so the occurrence that almost every woman was sexually harrassed by a man at some point in her life is just a cluster of a few individual experiences that you cannot formulate any general conclusions based on BUT a few reddit porn addicted losers not having a girlfriend assigned to them as soon as they're born or being rejected by three girls in middle school is a world scale epidemic that gets its own name, psychologists and media and useless video essayists devoted to finding out what its causes are and to figuring out how to solve it, and every woman is now responsible for solving it. i love living in this world i am totally not chewing on my arm right now!

i think more people need to realize that the circumstances of how jason todd died would make him deeply untrusting of not only other people, not only himself and his own instincts, but specifically other people's proclamations of what they feel about/for him and how he reacts to that in turn
