In reply to the discussion: What are your thoughts on "trans-exclusionary" radical feminism? [View all]prayin4rain
(2,065 posts)Almost all feminists love men and enjoy sex. Almost all feminists are concerned about how to protect sex workers. Many feminists are ALSO concerned that a large number of sex workers are coerced into the line of work through childhood abuse. Many feminists are ALSO concerned about how viewing women and "barely legal" girls as sex objects and commodities contributes to the amount of violence and abuse against women and girls in our society and across the globe.
An extremely low number of feminists are not supportive of transgendered persons. You may have found the ONLY one, actually.
The view that you are espousing as feminism is a movement created and paid for by sex industry profiteers. It simply says what most average males on the street would say about the sex industry and slaps a label of feminism on it. That's it. Really. Ask the men you know their opinion on prostitution and they will tell you essentially exactly what you wrote.
Average joe intellectualism is a sad trap of modern life. There's nothing wrong with living your life and holding average opinions, but have enough awareness to know when you're being sold a line by profiteers.
Not everything a woman does or thinks every second of the day is feminism. I do not think wearing high heels and make up is a feminist act, yet, I do both almost every day. I'm a feminist but not everything I do or think is a feminist act. Work in the sex industry. Live your life however you want. ...just don't call it feminism.
