Haha! Holy shit, Beto O'Rourke was in the hacker group Cult of the Dead Cow!? I like him even more, now. 😂

This makes it look like there are two shooters in NZ? Can't verify this, obviously.

@th3j35t3r jfc I just saw the videos
@th3j35t3r Specifically came to CoSo because I knew you'd have the goods. The first couple pages of his manifesto look like typical incel white nationalist trash ranting.
@Virusb23 @Museek @AvaSpeaksUp And to put it mildly, nobody ever asks well-adjusted sex workers for their opinions, because nobody wants to hear it. It's an inconvenient angle.
Also I favor decriminalization, not legalization. Legal brothel work like in Nevada is extremely restrictive and exploitative - they're not even allowed out of the building to go to the store during their week+ long stay in house, for fear that they might fall on a dick and get HIV on the way. Yes, really.
@AvaSpeaksUp @Museek @Virusb23 Saying that adult women cannot consent to sex work is extremely infantilizing. I know a lot of people in the sex work industry who are totally normal, healthy people. I did a research paper on sex work in college, and was stunned to find exactly ZERO major studies in the US about sex work that didn't focus on drugs, abuse, underage prostitution, or trafficking. The information is literally just not out there. So of course everyone has a skewed view.
Haha fuck you, buddy.

Wow. This woman's open letter publicly excoriating her GOP father for signing on to anti-LGBT+ legislation is a hell of a ballsy move. And it worked!
She also managed to quote Darwin and tell her father "your God did not elect you" 🔥 🔥 🔥 wooo we need some burn cream over here
@Museek @Virusb23 Yeah, agreed on all counts.
FYI I'm completely supportive of decriminalizing sex work, and dislike how trafficking is used as an excuse to write laws that punish consenting adults. That said, no one who is under age should be in sex work, and certainly no one who doesn't want to be (of any age!).
@Kitty62862 @Virusb23 I think most women can agree that we get the most attention, catcalling, street harassment etc. from men when we're between the ages of about 14-16. And the men are almost always much, much older.
I think it really needs to be talked about more than it is.
@stueytheround Yeah I get that and I know a lot of people feel similarly. I cope by taking on uncomfortable subjects head on, but I don't expect other people to. Everyone copes in their own way <3
@Virusb23 I get what you're saying, though I had to read it like 3 times 😂
My point is that we fetishize underage girls, explicitly and implicitly, and anything "close" to it is considered kinky by a hell of a lot of people. When we sexualize people who look underage, it stands to follow that a lot of people will feel like it's not so different to stake it a couple years younger. A *lot* of people don't consider 15-16 a "child".
