Radical feminists are anti-men, not pro women. Hence why they dislike sex workers because we are 'traitors' for engaging in transactional sex. They are obsessed with the penis, or as they call it, a 'rape weapon'. In their eyes, we are simply feeding the weapon and hurting women.

Similarly, this is why they're anti trans women, because they are obsessed with the penis. Trans men do not have the same backlash but again, are called traitors to their gender and dismissed.

For them, sex work is abuse by the rape weapon and therefore, we must be saved. Like good cop and bad cop. Sewing curtains 14 hrs a day in a factory because at least its not 'paid rape'.

Completely ignoring socioeconomic resources, systemic racism and structural inequality. So driven by ideology, they forget the reality for sex workers who are living hand to mouth.

They also do not care about male sex workers at all, and completely disregard the disproportionate levels of violence of trans sex workers.

This tells you they do not care about sex workers themselves, just the clients who buy sex.

addendum: the funny thing is, all the quote retweets are people saying i've never spoke to a rad fem

erm, I'm a sex worker who is often screamed at, blocked, spoken over and attacked on twitter regularly

this thread is informed by my experiences and things said

if you disagree with the thread about radical feminism, then I'm fucking glad because I disagree too

thank you x

for all those who say radical feminists dislike sex workers, I would like to remind you what Julie Bindel said - that sex workers can not be raped apparently and further dehumanises us
