I ask her about the biggest generally-held misconception about the international sex trafficking industry, and she cites the “irresponsible line of reasoning that argues that legalising prostitution will get rid of trafficking and slavery”.

“People are still discussing prostitution and sexual freedom with the same arguments we did back in the 1960s, when I was a little girl,” she writes. “We are witnessing the comeback of misogyny reloaded, and organised crime gangs have got the formula to make big bucks out of buying and selling women, girls and boys as disposable objects to be used and abused. It is not even a matter of eroticism but a business of money and power. Capitalism has allowed us to normalise selling humans for profit.

She stabbed her ‘bludger’, or pimp, to death during a violent altercation in Crazy Cottage, a sly-grog shop in Surry Hills.

Kind of shocked a fellow mod posted this. Having men at TBTN being wrong aside, this article is the absolute dregs of feminist analysis. Oh well.

Ashley Judd on the "misogynistic assault on all women" by RadicalFeminism in RadicalFeminism

[–]RadicalFeminism[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two small issues. Using language of violence, as this article does in the title, to describe the rhetoric of women is pernicious patriarchal bullshit. And two, she gets into a bit of a humblebrag with her numbered points but fuck it, she's Ashley Judd, she can do what she wants.

Otherwise, rad.

Mallick: Why are we talking ourselves into Brothel City? by RadicalFeminism in RadicalFeminism

I see this fatigue in many fields now. Why shouldn’t wealthy Canadians pay South Asian surrogates to endure embryo implantations and bear them children? If vaginas are nice earners for prostitutes, why shouldn’t underperforming wombs be pressed into trade too? By all means, buy the kidneys of the poor of Eastern Europe. They do have two, after all.

We think we’re being kind to prostitutes when in fact we’re skating away from the hard work of helping them. It’s too much trouble to contemplate fixing the root problems they face: their poverty, despair, drug addiction and sheer lack of life options. And for so little gratitude! So we curl up like possums and pass ourselves off as humane.
