“Saying someone ‘chose’ prostitution is like saying someone chose to jump off a roof, but no one mentioned the building was on fire.”

– Jacqueline S. Homan

On abolition

Wall of Ice by M.K. Hajdin

…One of the things that makes the sex industry distinct from other industries is that harm to workers is actually the product being sold, rather than a by-product. Thus the sex industry is not just another industry and cannot be reformed into something consistent with feminist or socialist ideals. It must be abolished.

On agency

To those who complain that pointing out the lack of real power women have in a male-dominated society is somehow robbing them of agency, infantilizing them, or assuming they have no responsibility for their actions.
