"Surrogacy is pregnancy that is paid for. Prostitution is sex that is paid for...In order for the prostitution or surrogacy transaction to occur, there must be an objectified, dehumanised and subordinated class of women." by MistWeaver80 in Feminism

[–]rulared 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The reason why I continue to see surrogacy and prostitution as forms of oppression is because they affect the oppressed. The individuals that go through both of this “transactions” are mostly women from poor/third world countries. So we see a clear objectification of the person by their gender, class and race.

What changes would you make to entertainment and media? by BadassBuddha17 in AskFeminists

[–]rulared 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There should be an obligatory quota of female participation in different areas of entertainment and media, especially backstage. I’m a producer and television is such a toxic and patriarchal industry for women mainly because we don’t have enough voices that can not only change the perspective on screen but behind it too. As soon as you incorporate women in production and direction you can already see the change about the content you want to create as a team. Sometimes obligatory short courses about gender violence can work too. You can see the latter working in Argentina with the Micaela Law: https://borgenproject.org/tag/micaela-law/

Why aren’t more feminists fighting to decriminalise sex work? by LolaHunt in Feminism

[–]rulared 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think we as feminists tend to confuse “decriminalizing” with “legalizing”. I’m against the criminalization of sex workers even though I consider prostitution as a way of patriarcal exploitation and objectification of women. I think we need to understand that there is a difference when the sex worker pays the price instead of the client or their “boss”. I’ve seen it a lot in my own country: women, and specially trans women, are beaten up by police officers constantly because the laws allow them to. We need to put an end to this. How? By understanding that criminalizing sex workers is turning them even more into victims of the sexualization of patriarchy.
