Is anyone actually falling for this? Nearly all sex trafficked people will appear in online advertising as smiling, "enthusiastic", often suggesting its "part-time" and a "hobby". It makes the consumer feel good to believe it and helps to line pimps' pockets. Its an easy lie.

Prostitution arose historically with land ownership, class society, militarization and slavery. The earliest records we have strongly indicate that the first women were in situations of sexual slavery - debt bondage at best - and many were first sold to be raped as girls.

So depressing to hear women say that they think they were born for porn/prostitution because they are good at dissociating during sex. I know I'll be accused of spreading stigma but I will say it anyway: Dissociation during sex is a trauma response and not a job skill. End of.

Several German prisons experiment with letting convicted rapists close to finishing their sentences go to brothels as a form of "therapy to learn sexual interactions with women that are free of violence". No woman is "experimental ground" for rapists.

Since we're once again comparing #prostitution to retail jobs, it doesn't hurt to have a list of disproportionate physical risks of being in the sex trade. This is not to shame women in it or to suggest women's bodies are "broken", but to highlight why these comparisons lag.

100% of johns could be pitiful depressed socially anxious men (they're not they're literally any guy from the homeless to the president, from the incel to the thrice married father of children) and it still wouldn't justify the sex trade. Women aren't therapy stations for men.

It's actually because of the widespread myth that women in prostitution are cut from a different cloth than everyone else that makes them supposedly totally unfazed by the look, feel, weight, smell and taste of men they don’t desire that creates the myth that they can't be raped.

This is a result of framing prostitution as "therapy for men". If men can get psychotherapy in prison why not sexual therapy? A therapist may help them work on social skills - according to several German prison wards a woman in prostitution should teach him not to rape. Insanity.

The word #porn comes from the lowest classes of women enslaved in prostitution, the "pornai" in Ancient Greek, who had the lowest income and had to be available to men of all classes. #Pornography therefore means "depiction of the lowest class of whores/sex slaves".

Going into a brothel to learn about consent is the most upside down idea ever. In most of these scenarios they did not inform the women so they had no idea they were facing a convicted rapist. Like with any john they had to pretend to enjoy it no matter how gross or torturous.

People refer the hetaera as evidence that the sex industry was a way for women to get status. There were always educated & talented women in prostitution but it would've been as "romantic" as modern day sugar babies: personal sex toys for rich men with a veneer of sophistication.

For 3 years I've wanted to write about why men murder women in the sex trade. I've been waiting for the publication of a study on the subject in Germany that finally come out a month ago. Stay tuned for my summary. Its painful but necessary to know who, when, where and why.

This thread could go on. Stop gaslighting people - sex is not work. Unwanted sex is rape. Paying someone makes absolutely no difference to the physical and mental harms incurred. Prostitution is an industry that kills women and their sexuality, not a place where it is set free.

I'm sorry no cashier or office worker or firefighter or soldier or any other thing people do to earn a living will result in an unwanted pregnancy. Breathe and think for a moment what unbelievable pain we're allowing men to cause to women in the sex trade.

In other cases prison wardens ordered women in escort prostitution to come into prisons and teach mentally handicapped convicted rapists about consent through pain sex acts. I don't even know what to say about that... It's so utterly inhumane towards those women.

Amazing reversal: A few times now I've been told that it is me sharing sex buyer quotes that is dehumanizing women in the sex trade. Not the quotes themselves or the things men physically do - me sharing it is the boot on women's neck. You heard it here first folks!

I'm always amazed at how it is possible to write pages upon pages on the subject of #prostitution and never once mention that largest group of people involved: The buyers. I'm so tired of the sex trade being presented like it's something women do alone in a room...

How women in #prostitution are advertised. An example from a legal supposedly "alternative" brothel in Berlin called "Candyshop". A🧵 I cannot legally nor do I want to share the images. I will just describe them and translate the advertisement text about the women.

I want to spell this out - its important: The demand for prostitution & trafficking are one and the same. Trafficking exists to fill the gap in demand & supply in the "sex" trade. A trafficked woman, a woman driven by poverty & one who made a free choice - they meet the same men.

This is only possible through the complete dehumanization of women in prostitution specifically by supposed experts of mental health and crime prevention. They must believe these women are unrapeable 24/7 nymphos... otherwise they're saying it's okay if THOSE women get raped.

Sex buyers know about this physical damage, btw and talk about it - or rather "complain". "She couldn't do xy cause she's got x pain, so annoying." Trigger warning: Rape and dehumanization.

If men interacting with objects that look like women didn't increase the rate of them treating actual women like objects, I would be happy for misogynists to lock themselves in with their bots. As it stands if a man owns an however sophisticated masturbated doll he's highly sus.

Until 1997 German men could legally rape their wives. Furthermore the law held that women had to pretend to enjoy #maritalrape our be found at fault in case of divorce. Here's the reasoning of the Federal Court of "Justice" from 1966 translated to English:

We need to talk about #surrogacy again - many get why the commercialized version is utterly harmful & exploitative. But the medical risks commonly associated with surrogacy don't disappear when it's altruistic. Aside from the fact that commercial likes masquerading as altruistic.

I'm so tired of sending stats to people about age of entry, poverty, migration status, race, trauma history, health etc. of women in the sex trade who assert based on nothing but a general feeling that "most prostitutes choose the life". YOU present the evidence for your claim.

This is a screenshot of the categories by which men rate women on a nation-wide U.S. American #prostitution review forum. Please tell me more about how men are just "clients" seeking a "service" and aren't commodifying women's bodies and dehumanizing them.

Abolish strip clubs. Give struggeling moms real support not harrassement, groping, possibly threats and coercion into prostitution by disgusting men in exchange for not going homeless and hungry.

One more time for the people in the back: Being lonely is not an excuse to purchase access to the body of a woman who does not desire but endure you. The healthy way of dealing with loneliness is joining a team, a club, creating a new friend group, reviving old friendships etc.

Look, I really get that people want women in the sex trade to get the same societal respect as e.g. psychotherapists and that's why many push for the "sex work is healing work" narrative. But most of the implementation looks more like "prostituted women are rape fodder".

@DrProudman A man in Germany did successfully sue a woman in prostitution for not making him orgasm. A female judge agreed she defrauded him. She had to pay for court proceedings. Survivors of @NetzwerkElla paid for her costs. In #sexworkiswork land this can happen.

If you still feel that comparing cashiers to women in #prostitution or pornography is fair, then I don't know how to help you. We should absolutely decriminalize and destigmatize women in the sex trade, but not the system or the (mostly) men who cause this unbelievable harm.
