im not even saying there are no women who ~choose~ prostitution, stripping and porn and ~want~ to do it, it just doesnt matter because
a) thats not the premise, the premise is that the consumer/sex buyer gets what he wants against payment
b) the overall harm of the sex industry outweighs individual wants (for example what it does to a society when consent can be bought and girls are raised knowing they could be for sale)
c) this is a minority that could never meet the demand created by liberalisation/legalisation and the acceptance of sex as a product if - hypothetically - all women who didnt freely choose it were to exit the sex industry
d) you have to question why its mostly women „choosing“ sexual submission and men choosing to use money to make others perform sex acts for them
e) it doesnt make it okay to commodify sexuality which will always leave to exploitation and abuse, and subjugation of less privileged groups
f) it doesnt excuse sex buyers willfully using their monetary power to coerce others into sexual acts and performance
g) the sex buyer and porn consumer can never know if the consent is freely given or pressured and even forced, in fact they have to assume there is no desire from the paid prostitute/woman in porn/stripper
i) it just is not reflective of the reality for the vast majority of prostitutes who lack viable alternatives or ways to exit
j) it is a harmful narrative suggesting women enjoy sexual submission and legitimising male entitlement and disregard of their sexual partners desires and satisfaction
k) it doesnt change that the sex industry profits from and enforces systemic abuse, misogyny, racism, ableism, neocolonialism and other marginalisation and inequality
l) women choosing submission instead of being forced into it is not a win for womens rights, on the contrary
m) unwanted and merely endured penetration, sex acts, harrassment, insults, and subjugation are harmful to mind and body
n) a lot of sex buyers/consumers dont care whether the woman wants it or not, they pay her to pretend or they even get off on enforcing sex acts
o) its egoistical and throwing less privileged girls and women under the bus, especially when legitimising and defending men buying sex acts
p) it is often a trauma response, coping mechanism and/or product of grooming and manipulation
