Hello, I'm the one who wrote before to warn that "ho" was a disrespectful way to refer to sex workers and asked everybody to show respect.
I'm sad to find my words were not heeded. Disrespect has gotten much, much worse.
"I don't believe the bullshit of people who say prostitution is just like any other job."
"In my opinion (again), women who claim to enjoy (or at least to not mind) prostituting themselves to men, are just internalizing a submissive role in the patriarchy."
"A sex worker, in the eyes of almost all those who buy their "service", even where it's legal, is not really a person."
I don't know what's worse: the repeated offensive generalizations that deny the agency of sex workers (whose explicit statements of goals are haughtily dismissed because, it is claimed, they are all compulsed victims) or the blanket condemnation of a whole category of independent adult women whose life choices are portrayed as wrong and bad for them.
Everything that has been written against sex workers could be used word by word against any other group of women, for example lesbians. "I don't believe the bullshit of people who say lesbian couples are just like any other couples." "Women who claim to enjoy (or at least to not mind) lesbian sex are just internalizing a fear of men." Sounds familiar? It does to me. It's like poster Nya-chan copy-pasted every sentence from some gay hate forum and changed just a few key words to turn the discriminating statements against a different group.
What really riles me up is that two moderators, TWO moderators, have already combed through this thread and they didn't seem to notice this fetid hatemongering. Get your act together, peeps! Discrimination isn't something that can be tolerated so easily. When you meet it, you've got to bring the hammer down on it!
I hope my words are not taken as a personal slight against any individual poster. My problem is with the ideas, not with the persons. I hope moderators will take action in the future against any repeat of this kind of blanket condemnation of the life choices of entire segments of women.
Harsh but true.
Last chapter is a good example of this meme: two bottoms wanting to have sex!
And it also is a shining example of why this meme is such bullshit. Sure it may be a fun joke, but in reality there's no tragedy in being a bottom and going to bed with another bottom : it just works like for Ena and Asumi.
Word. Sex is fluid, all sorts of dynamics exist, it all just matters how much compatibility and chemistry you have, and those two had it. Such a great chapter.
I've always been deeply skeptical about the top/bottom split. Or the butch/femme split for that matter.
