History of Feminism

And it galls me to see it defended here on DU under the guise of 'liberty'. 'Cause everyone knows, all prostitutes and porn actors would do it without compensation if they had to - they love it so much! No boy or girl grow up wanting to be a prostitute or a porn actor, and it isn't just because those 'jobs' are looked down upon by society - it's because they're such body and soul-crushing 'jobs'. People who make porn as part of their kinks do it without being paid for it - as do men and women who want to have many partners. When you start paying for it, you get pressure to do it, and that is where the huge danger lies.

I don't doubt that there are people who can do those jobs without incurring harm to their physical and/or mental well-being, but they are a very tiny minority. The same as with coal mining or other physically dangerous jobs - we progressives have worked long and hard for regulations of those industries, but the moment we're talking about something a group of those progressive enjoys, we need to be hands off and refuse regulation, because otherwise they'll move the production to other countries, they claim. So I'm betting the same group of progressives are against anything such as boycotts of clothes made in sweat shops, or recalling food with dangerous additives imported to the US - since we have regulation of working conditions in the US, we cannot do anything when they move that production overseas either!

And it is very frustrating to see progressive refusing to acknowledge that we need to change the culture of men - make it acceptable to show other emotions than anger and rage; to allow them freedom to choose - men aren't just killing women, they are also killing other men. The culture of male violence is making the life miserable for the perpetrators too - how can their lives not be miserable when they have their self-worth tied to owning other human beings as chattel - so much so that they are willing to kill their wives and girlfriends if they decide to leave them?

I'm sorry, my rant went off-topic, but it just bubbled out of me - probably half coherent at that!
