It’s funny that sex routinely marks the distinction between human and inhuman statuses according to the hegemonic discourse, a trend we see repeated within pretty much every duke rape thread that has ever existed, wherein stripping will almost instantly be conflated with prostitution, and this will magically make her testimony untrustworthy if not down right inscrutable and jewishly moneygrubbing via pixies or mind control ray firing anonymous bloggers. I keep expecting her to magically be accused of having a big nose and owning a bank, the racist clichés are just so fucking cliché in this case.
But that’s all merely a means to the end of getting across the core point that whores aren’t raped of course.
Well how could they? They once had sex with someone! They can’t say no after that, that’s cheating!
Of course cultfem rhetoric about sex work hoves a similar tact - except in that case such workers aren’t allowed to give consent, and because consenting to sex is the most horrible thing that can ever happen to a woman, it is automatically upgraded from “teh icky” (which covers rape, serious physical abuse and all that menial shit) to Uberhyperfnordensquirtenoppreshein! That strange german compound word that refers to anything that is totally, like, worse than the holocaust man!
And of course this belief that sex workers are inhuman and have no rights to consent nor to say no is why sex workers are killed so disproportionately just going about their business, why they’re abused and shat upon and considered targets by every patriarch and paternalist from the johns and preachers who pay their bills to the businessmen, self declared defenders of the public moralities and over through the police forces, all of whom exploit them in one way or another, and because of this social dialogue that makes sex workers into the lowest of the low, they all know that it’s acceptable to treat sex workers like that.
Via Ren. And timely to this bullshit.
