Getting women to support each other in their CHOICES  would a be a giant step toward decriminalizing sex work. The author is so right about feminists. They like to scream and shout that women own their own bodies, but are huge hypocrites when a woman wants to use her own body in a way they don't approve. This is the 21st Century. Time to stop being Puritans.

That someone pens an article that is in your face and eloquent at the same time. The author is brutally honest and indeed very factual. Dare I say, more articles should be written in this way?  

but this article, in spite of the "PC speak" like the use of "cis" which I hate. this article pretty well nailed the feminists who are a bigger enemy of P4P and real "women's right" than even the church.

Pink Hat lady is, tell Lopaw, and she'll slap the bitch along side the head for not tipping a stripper.

... for lady mongers like me. Every time I step foot into a stripclub (which is often) I have to undo all of the stupid judgemental bullshit that other women have done to dancers. These are the women who go to stripclubs for all the wrong reasons, and sadly I pay the price. The stigma of women like "pink hat" doesn't translate as much here in the hobby world, where I find that an automatic assumption that a lady customer is  evil and judgemental doesn't exist here. Maybe that's because there are so few female hobbyists and unlike a public stripclub, this hobby takes effort to break into. That's way too much work for the average civvie woman trying to make an unwanted statement.  

Cis seems a handy word in this conversation.  I'm getting used to it, especially not when bandied about how "woke" the user is.

I also refuse to use "African American" and a host of other PC terms, including "hobbyist" except as a term of derision.

I dislike the term "sex workers" or labels in general...however, if they must be used I prefer sexual healer😊

I had to go look it up. Got confused when I found this:

is now reposted on my Facebook.  Friends don't let friends remain ignorant.

Of course in your case, Hooker would hardly apply, but in your case I kind of think that even "sex worker" would be stretching things a bit too.

Yes I like that term too! Though I usually say sex worker or escort.  

Just one more PC term we didn't need.  Why do we need a label for straight people?  What's wrong with "straight?"  Does it make gays feel bad?  Why?  Perhaps because they've been unfairly labeled for years they want to stick a label on others? Who knows?  Who cares?  I won't use it.

and you sound like a very "happy hooker" good for you. It's great when someone can make a VERY good living doing what they love to do.

But in the release of energy...None of my clients need "sexual" healing...they're  all just fine in their sexuality....

Not sure why it posted here

Hence, I suppose, the chemical meaning that Fearghas found (same side of the bond), but the only non-gender-related usage I've seen is "cisalpine," meaning this side of the Alps (as opposed to transalpine).

but alas, it looks like we are pretty much on the same page.  

The way I've seen it used is to describe someone whose sexual orientation is the same as the sexual equipment they were born with.  IOW, they are male, they are comfortable with their masculinity and seek sexual partners who are female. If they are female, they are comfortable with their femininity and seek sexual partners who are male.
If I'm wrong, someone please let me know.
In the meantime I won't use the term.  I also won't use it if I'm corrected. LOL.

Or having to refer to myself as a "cis" woman.  I don't see the point in differentiating myself.  I read an article the other day that said the national midwives association has changed the term "pregnant woman" into "pregnant person" in response to the trans movement.  With 70+ genders on FB now it seems like it's all getting a little too complicated to me.

That term of course being "normal"  

It's when you get on flat mode that its hard to see who is responding to who.

That's another stupid one.

A Georgia Gambler Girl, heaven forbid. lol

I'm a woman...no need for add ons.   I support the trans community but it's stupid to use terms like these in everyday language to appease a very small minority of people.  I saw a video the other day about a woman who lived as a man in order to be a doctor in the 1800s and lots of people screaming "transphobic" in the comments.

feminism is bullshit and hypocrisy. How blatant could one be about their double standards when they preach gender equality, but judge women who deviate from their puritan agenda. True equality comes from autonomy over one's own body and how they choose to utilize it.

I know you're down for the cause, thanks for being thoughtful!  

Neo feminism is about female superiority and misandry.

...which is nonsense. We all have varying degrees of beliefs and if you stereotype us all as the extreme edge of feminism then you become part of the problem.

I'm not down for any kind of feminist cause, I'm a MGTOW, which means that we're supposed to be mortal enemies by all logic. I just don't like double standards and hypocrisy, and above all else I hate people who try to control the lives of others. I stopped talking to many of my relatives and more to come for that exact reason.

As a MGTOW myself, I'm all too familiar with the redpill and men's issues. Thanks for the link, I'll definitely check out that documentary.

Truly, I get it. Nobody deserves for bad shit to happen to them. I promise I'm not your enemy (mortal or otherwise), but if you want to blame me, that's cool. Better me than the providers you end up meeting. Maybe, given enough time to heal and hopefully some understanding, supportive people along the way, you'll see that we're pretty much all the same, all struggling to get by.

I am "Alexandra". I don't much care about labels. Labels demean one and promote that someone is better than the other. Especially when some are very unfriendly and hate "cis" people. Some are well adjusted and like people period.  

Sadly guys like that have a chip on their shoulders large enough to crush them. Anybody who thinks that feminists have dick envy (ha!) and are all misandrists is pretty far gone. I pity any provider clueless enough to actually book him.

Native American recognized up to 5 genders, calling them " two-spirit" until white and uptight people suppressed their culture.

"Native Americans traditionally assign no moral gradient to love or sexuality; a person was judged for their contributions to their tribe and for their character."
