A lot of Social Justice ideas aren't even that bad lol, they've just been adopted by people who don't understand anything. Take cultural appropriation, for example. People were very very reasonably like "it's kind of uncomfortable and weird when people use important cultural/religious symbols of cultures/religions they don't belong to for fashion or other frivolous things" and somehow tons of people just heard "white people buying pocky at the Vietnamese grocery is an act of violent racism."

Tried to fit this in the tags but it wasn’t happening.

Thank you for putting this into words because I haven’t been able to figure out how to say “no, cultural appropriation is not fake, but also idk what happened in the last few years but it seems like woke white people completely took over the conversation”

When I used to plan luxury events, I worked a ton of Indian weddings, Pakistani weddings, and in general a bunch of Muslim/Islamic/Hindu weddings of varying levels of faith. That meant wearing hair coverings, sometimes all day, sometimes just for the ceremonies (if you’re under the Mandap or at the Mehndi or Heena ceremony, you wear a hair covering. If it’s during or after the Baraat, you wear a hair covering, but again, sometimes you just wear it all day depending on the family. A lot of families provide hair coverings of their color choice to anyone who is working the wedding, or any wedding guests who wouldn’t own one). You know who was giving me dirty looks on the days I wore my covering? Woke white people.

Two of my all time favorite brides were both Indian brides that I was lucky enough to work with for all three days of their weddings. We bonded a lot and, idk sometimes it’s just ‘I’m working for you’ and sometimes it’s ‘we are going to be best friends by the time your wedding is over’. These brides were the latter. The first bride chose a Bindi for me on her third day because she said it matched my eyes. The second bride had her hair stylist undo my bun and braid some of her jasmine into my hair, and then also chose a Bindi for me. I was so touched that she wanted me to wear these things that were specifically chosen for her wedding even though I wasn’t family. Her whole family was so sweet/excited about it, and again, guess who was giving me weird looks all day? Guess who approached me to talk about cultural appropriation as if I hadn’t been in this industry for years? Two woke white people. Like, I’m not putting on a bindi and fake ‘sexy saree’ as a Halloween costume. I was given a really sweet gift by two women on one of the most special days of their lives.

Something me and my girlfriend say all the time: American ‘leftists’ are running in circles so tight they’re biting their own tails off and ending up right back where they started.

Get so into trans ideology that we end up right back with hardcore traditionalist gender norms.

Get so into the concept of cultural appropriation that we end up right back to people giving dirty looks for any culture-sharing

Get so into the concept of womens sexual and body liberation that we end up back to women being purchasable sex objects, and makeup and non-functional clothing being a good and empowering thing

Get so into the concept of "Karens" that it no longer means "a boomer white woman throwing a very generation-specific tantrum and abusing her privilege", and is now just another word for "bitch" and a way to tell any woman with any opinion you don't agree with to shut up.

Wild.

"ratification" is maybe the most bitterly misleading word in the English language

adult "consensual" "sex workers" never fail to critisize and halt any efforts made to combat sex trafficking. no no we cant try to save the hundreds of thousands of children traffiked each year with an effective technology because it might get ME in trouble and prevent ME from getting a few dollars (that you could get doing literally anything else). just saw someone on ig critisizing ashton kutchers foundation that uses AI to scan escort ads to look for missing children bc it "endangers" consenual adults doing it.. sorry girl thats like 2% of them who tf cares im sorry

I mean... if saving victims of sex trafficking, especially the children, is going to harm what you're doing - maybe have a long hard think about that. If saving people will hurt you and/or your "business," maybe you are indirectly gaining from NOT helping them - and that is not a good position to have. Surely saving people (again, often children) from an awful situation is more important than protecting a truly disgusting and harmful industry, not to mention you and your cognitive dissonance.

They could in theory just get another job, because there are so many choices, right?

On the International Day against Human Trafficking for Sexual Exploitation, one of the biggest of sexual explotation activists in my country, Argentina (an underdeveloped country in constant crisis where poverty grows more every day and the most affected are always women and children), Georgina Orellano published a tweet about why prostitution and trafficking are not the same.

She never published anything about trafficking and why it affects children and women, why it happens in our country, why are teenagers getting abuse, how to report it, how it helps. SHE DIDN'T POST ANY OF THAT. SHE NEVER CARED ABOUT THAT, only to differentiate it from supposedly voluntary work.

A woman who said in the middle of a television program that they knew where the missing girls were but they needed to be given something in exchange to tell them. Girls who were kidnapped, being raped, drugged, violated and their families were looking for them. Girls who were being broken into thousands of pieces.

But she wouldn't say where.

The same woman who is accused of pimping by trafficking survivors.

The same woman who is a leader of AMMAR, an association "in favor of sex work" but they have leaders IN JAIL and ACCUSED of human trafficking.

And even interviews with these same victims recounting how they tried to motivate them by showing them pornography and how they couldn't escape from them because it was a circle in which they needed to survive.

These people are cruel, insensitive, cynical and allies of the patriarchy. They don't care about women, they have never did.
