#reblogging with links to the new Belgian law

[kutputli]

I wanted to link this post to something in the news recently -

Belgium passed legislation in December 2024 that thus far no other modern nation has done - which made it legal for sex workers to be considered formal employees. This brings them under the umbrella of modern labour protections extended to all employees, making them eligible for maternity leave and pensions. The new law also guarantees fundamental rights for sex workers, including the ability to refuse clients, set the conditions of an act, and stop an act at any moment.

This law is the work of years of efforts by Belgian sex workers unions and their allies.

But it's important to understand why this law is historic - performing sex work in Belgium was already legal. Being a client of a sex worker was already legal. As this NPR story says:

Instead, laws targeted brothels and third parties supporting sex work — such landlords, bankers, drivers — often accusing them of "pimping." In 2022, Belgian lawmakers voted to decriminalize sex work and narrow the definition of pimping to ensure that sex workers do not have trouble finding a banker, insurer, driver or accountant, according to UTSOPI. The new law goes farther, and gives sex workers labor rights and protections on par with those in other professions. That includes access to pensions, unemployment, health insurance, family benefits, annual vacation and maternity leave. Employers are now required to obtain authorization and meet background requirements, such as having no prior convictions for sexual assault, human trafficking or fraud. They are also required to ensure their premises are clean, sanitary and equipped with a panic button, and are prohibited from dismissing an employee who refuses a client or a specific act.

Again, I want to underline that it was the third party penalisation that was causing harm to sex workers, and that this law legalises third party sex work including pimping and brothel owning, in a way that makes it safer for sex workers to advocate for their rights as labourers and employees.

How this relates to fandom's vilification of Louis is, I hope, obvious. We saw Louis being a responsible, considerate employer. We saw him trying to provide the best resources he could to the sex workers he employed, including supporting their right to refuse specific sex acts, and to resist coercion. We saw that when given the chance, he attempted to set up co-operatively owned brothels that benefitted the interests of its employees.

Louis' failings as a brothel owner are real, and there is no doubt that there was exploitation and oppression that he was party to and helped perpetuate. Some of it was his limitations of race, some of it was part of the culture of the time, and some of it was due to his own personality.

But if we look at the direction that sex workers themselves want legislation and culture to move in, then it's clear that Louis does not deserve to be condemned for being a third party involved in sex work who aspired to be ethical towards his employees.

Louis the "Pimp": A Rebuke and Rebuttal

OK, IWTV fandom, I have been made aware that some (many) of you are genuinely not aware of some of the anti sex work implications of your statements around Louis and pimping, so -

First of all, some ground level assumptions: I am assuming we are all pro sex workers here. Which means that we all believe in the right for adults to consent to commercial sexualised labour, and to demand ethical working conditions just like any other worker. Sex work is work etc.

Now, that stance can and must coexist with the acknowledgement that sex work has both historically and currently been coerced from marginalised communities. In my part of the world, hereditary caste based sexual enslavement is an on-going atrocity, and similarly, in the United States Black enslaved people was disproportionatey victims of commercialised sexual abuse. (This is RELEVENT to Armand and Louis so it behoves everyone to inform themselves about these realities.)

What I'm saying now comes from the scholarship and testimonies of sex workers themselves, who have always been at the forefront of advocating for themselves as communities and unions. You can and should read through the publications of the Global Network of Sex Work Projects to ground yourself in these perspectives.

The idea that its ok to be a sex worker, but that a client or a pimp or a brothel owner deserves contempt, shaming or derison is an old one, associated with the dichotomy of pitable fallen women vs dispicable emasculated men (emasculated because of the patriarchal shame of a) paying for sex and b) living off of a woman's labour). This has manifested in what is known as the Nordic model (or, hypocritically, the Equality Model) of Prostitution, where sex workers themselves are deemed nominally free to practise their trade, but clients and third parties (pimps, managers, brothel owners) are criminalised. There is unambiguous peer-reviewed data showing the failure of this approach to protecting sex workers from harm, and almost every sex worker union has denounced it.

So now let's talk about this cultural and legal contempt and criminalisation of the third party, and specifically, the pimp figure. Unlike the brothel owner, the pimp is more often from a similar class and identity as the sex worker, often sharing the same living and working spaces. Pimps are often sex workers allies and collegeaues. They provide an interface between the client and the sex worker that can help screen them for safety and security, and the remove the additional burden of soliciting and marketing from the sex worker's labour.

And because it is important to talk about specifics, a pimp in marginalised communities of sex workers is often a brother, a father, or a lover to the sex worker who faces the same casteism, racism and classism that she does. He is often the father of the sex worker's child. In India, for example, even though prostitution itself is not criminal, any adult male living with a prostitute is assumed to be guilty of being a pimp unless he can prove otherwise, and can face imprisonment of up to 2 years with a fine. One of the demands of unionised sex workers, including those in India, has been to decriminalised pimping along with sex work, not just because pimps make it safer and easier for sex workers to get clients without having to actively solicit, but also because such criminalisation actively harms family units.

Of course, there are pimps who can be abusive and exploitative. This is true of any professional relationship, and this is also true of people in romantic and sexual relationships (like marriage). But to deem a pimp inherently as an abuser carries a lot of anti sex work and racist and classist baggage with it.

Why racist (and classist and casteist etc)? Because the men with capital were (and are) not often pimps. They are landlords and investors, who ran brothels and saloons and massage parlours and dance bars and other sites where sexual labour was commercialised. To denigrate a man for being a pimp as somehow worse than being the owner of a sweatshop or farm is a way of jeering at the men who have not been able to buy themselves the luxury of distance from the exploitation they profit from. And the men of capital were and are, overwhelmingly, those from the dominant identity (White. Savarna. etc.)

So NOW, with all that necessary context in mind, let's talk about Louis and what it means when fandom firstly calls him a pimp, and then second sneers at him for his perceived behavior as one.

You know who first calls Louis a pimp?

Daniel Molloy, a white man being the brash, confrontational journalist that he has the luxury of being.

Louis accurately describes his profession managing and operating a diversified portfolio of entireprises. This translates to investing his family's sizeable trust into real estate (he owns 8 out of 24 buildings on Liberty Street) and running establishments that make money from selling liquor, organised gambling and sex work. Just as not many Black men would have been in a position of power to make a profit from a sugar plantation as Louis' great grandfather did, not many Black men would have had the capital (and the business acumen) to own and operate a series of businesses that included sex work. Infact we see him collecting his profits from a white man who was closer to the pimp role - Finn.

Reducing this to calling him a pimp is the first of many racist microaggressions we will watch Daniel make. As someone who indulged in some kind of sex work himself, one might say some of Daniel's hostility is self-loathing. Nonetheless, there is a racialised element in his contempt towards both Louis and Armand that, I would theorise, comes from the distinction made between a white, educated man choosing to recreationally whore himself for drugs, and a Black man who earned a living from other people's sex work, or a Brown man who is perceived as a rent boy.

We then get to the idea of denigrating Louis' pimp-like behavior. First of all, let's look at Louis as the employer and manager of sex workers. Everything we have seen about him shows him to be courteous, considerate, and professional. His guilt at the entire situation of how sex work operates aside (and we can agree that it must have been exploitative and even abusive in general, and that he was complicit in such a system, as any capitalist is) - MOST importantly, we never see Louis doing the thing that patriarchy really resents a pimp for - sampling the goods for free. We never see him use his power over the sex workers he employs to get favours.

In fact he makes it clear that he visits Miss Lily precisely because she is part of a different establishment, and that both of them being Black in a majority white situation places them on a more equal footing. Watching Louis with Miss Lily, both is how he is with her sexually as well as socially, gives you the clearest evidence of how he behaves around sex workers he is having a relationship with. (Contrast that to Lestat, who buys her time and body as an act of one-upmanship with no concern for her preference, and then who kills her out of jealousy.)

So - Was Louis a pimp? No. Was Louis an abusive pimp? Also No.

Then why does the fandom continue to deploy this term in relationship to him?

It's racism, your honour. (The answer is almost always racism.)

To unpack this, lets jump forward from the 1910s where, again I remind you - very very few Black men in the United States were in any position to operate as fashionable brother owners with wealth to spare.

We now move to the 1980s, when one (but not the only!) sub-genre of rap was evolving - gangsta rap. In this sub-genre, Black musical artists like Too Short and Ice T were creating and more pertinently making accessible to white America, the signifier of the Black pimp figure. This drew from 1960s Black culture-making around West Coast pimps like Iceberg Slim, but also from an older storytelling tradition that linked the figure of the pimp with the archetype of the trickster. I'm not going to cite the wealth of literature you can find that theorises this, (nor defensively provide the mass of nuanced critique that Black feminists have offered) because the limited point I wish to make is -

When white America began enjoying (and appropriating) rap and hip-hop culture, one of the tropes it started perpetuating with the shallowest of understanding of its origins, was that of the specifically Black pimp. A figure who displayed wealth, but without (white-signifying) class, who was sexually active in a racialised hypermasculine way, but both a threat to women and contemptibly a leech off them.

THIS is the pimp archetype that is being evoked when fandom talks about Louis's 'pimp'ness.

It is racist. It is ahistorical and canonically unfactual.

It is also needlessly contemptuous of the sex workers (labourers and third parties alike) who are part of the community here on tumblr, so often praised as one of the spaces that is friendly to them.

Maybe think about all of that the next time you choose to use the word 'pimp'.

gonna add a little more to the above. please if anyone knows more about ghanaian politics correct whatever has been missed.

(A note about the last reblog's photo: Flight Lt. Jerry J Rawlings (next to Gaddafi) was the guy who led a coup and started a military junta, then... established a commission on democracy, served two terms as president, and was peacefully succeeded by his longtime rival. Complicated legacy.)

Anyways!

Ghana has a multiparty system, but there are two dominant parties, with the others not having any members of parliament (except for one! one single independent MP).

The two parties are the NPP (center-right) and the NDC (center-left). (FWIW, both main parties and most of the other ones were supporting the anti-lgbt law.)

The main NPP candidate is Mahamadu Bawumia, who is the current NPP president's VP, an economist, and central banker.

The main NDC candidate is John Mahama, who was president from 2012-2017.

The 'New Force' political movement is a 3rd party whose spokesperson, a Belgian woman named Shalimar Abbiusi, is being held in custody by Ghanaian Immigration Services. The New Force claims that this is politically motivated. She is being charged with falsifying documents in order to get a residence permit.

Super unclear what is going on but the election is in December 2024, so I mostly just hope everything proceeds without the current NPP president, Nana Akufo-Addo, trying to do anything illegal. (His term limit is up-- he has a past history of refusing to concede when he's lost elections, but the supreme court shot him down when that happened in 2012).

Note: everything above that doesn't have a link in it is stuff I found on Wikipedia. everything that DOES have a link is sometimes of unknown quality because there are not many international world news organizations covering this, so the best I can do is like. modernghana.com.

amazing things happening in ghana
