My husband said he wasn’t one of those guys flashing money around the strippers and being what any patriarchal male would consider overtly misogynistic (though I informed him just being there made him such)….but anyway he said the strippers would always come to him and his friends because they weren’t asshole-ish like the other guys there…anyway…I told him yeah, that’s their job…to make you feel special, the fact that you’re there and that you’re a man, that’s reason enough for them not to like you…they didn’t hang out with you cause you were awesome…they hung out with you because the prospect of money without having to feel like a fuck-hole.

Yay! To be honest, I don’t really see how the sex industry is in the slightest way empowering. Isn’t the worker getting payed to follow orders and give up their power?

It’s used by everyone, against everyone, in regards to everything.

But I never said you were an anti-feminist. Just that you were utilising a tactic I’m far more used to seeing from those who wish to undermine feminism as a whole, rather than just part of it.

We can still have the time and energy to call someone out for a ridiculous, inappropriate, and offensive analogy. “Why aren’t you focusing on the issues I think are important?!” is an anti-feminist bingo square for a reason.
