Learned this weekend that in the late 19th century many Protestants believed that Jesus’ crucifixion had, among other things, redeemed the sin of Eve, thus ending her curse of submission to her husband and opening the possibility for gender egalitarianism. Then I stared at the wall for a while.

Now that there are 25 different text based social media sites, and none of them have a critical mass of users, where do I go to say the things that will alienate my friends, lower me in the esteem of my peers, and endanger my job?

I want out of twitter but this place is not ready 😭

Slow and empty

When a survivor leader tries to invalidate a survivor leader they disagree with by suggesting they’re not a “real” survivor - NO!

When a survivor leader undermines the work of anyone they see as “competition” - NO!

When a funder puts survivor leaders in positions where they benefit by tearing other survivor leaders down. - NO!

We're not playing these games any more. 🚫

💔 im so sad

Goodbye twitter

Rating people by attractiveness is literally so stupid.

SWERF is a slur against those feminists that point out the historically abusive and destructive nature of the sexual exploitation trade.

SWERF is a slur for those who stand against the industrialized rape and traffick of women and girls that makes up the majority of the sex trade. There are plenty of radical feminists that are not terfs that speak out against the trade.

Pornography is the industry based on the sexual abuse and traffick of women and girls.

Either it’s okay for men to make women into ornaments for their egos, or it is not. Either it is wrong for a man to subject women to pawing gendered humiliation, or it’s not. You can’t say “sometimes.”

"The fact that pornography is widely believed to be “sexual representations” or “depictions of sex” emphasizes only that the valuation of women as low whores is widespread and that the sexuality of women is perceived as low and whorish in and of itself."
Andrea Dworkin
Pornography

Pornography is made by men who hate women for men and boys who also hate women. There is no greater display of the hatred of women than films of women being sexually abused bought and sold in the marketplace.

Would it be considered suspicious that after calling out a child sex trafficking network on twitter my account would get locked for basically nothing?

Watching the Exit documentary. Very well done movie. I will put a review on my substack and share it here.

If anyone has resources for exit programs for victims of trafficking and prostitution, I would love to begin to compile a list of resources to promote!

Account locked again 😭

Ok bye for now

resemble training for this degrading and dangerous occupation.

Those who become aware that adult men are their primary audience will learn a very destructive lesson in patriarchal sexual politics. It would be interesting to know how many-- if any-- become prostituted girls or women later in life, since the performances required of these young girls

that it is their appearance and their abilities to perform in a sexually seductive fashion that is of prime importance for obtaining approval, money, and fame or notoriety.

Clearly the adult(s) responsible for the participation of these young girls on these sites are responsible for them being sexually objectified at a very young age. This teaches them a very harmful lesson:

However, the key issue is not unsavoriness but whether or not these sites are harmful a) to the children who participate in them; b) to the male viewers; and c) to the victims of the viewers.

Stephen Levine, a professor of psychiatry who is described as an expert on sexuality, comments that, "it's reasonable to think that these sites are pandering to pedophiliac interests and they are unsavory but this is America, where we tolerate lots of unsavory things for freedom of expression."

Im trying to break free!

Its so hard. I don't know if Im sad or happy that twitter may d ! 3
