sunshiinelollipop: jumpin on da bandwagon bc there is so little dialogue about violence against sex workers. assaults & deaths are frequently ignored by the authorities due to the nature of our work, and any reports that do go through are greeted with scepticism: “if you didn’t want that to happen to you, you shouldn’t have chosen to do porn/stripping/escorting, you brought this upon yourself.” OUR JOB IS NOT A FORM OF CONSENT. our videos, photos, performances, and clothes are not a form of consent. sex work is one of the oldest industries in the world yet everything that happens inside of it is treated as taboo and dirty. if you don’t have respect for girls in this industry, stop watching porn, stop reading nudie mags, going to strip clubs & brothels, because you do not deserve to consume from us. sex work culture is constantly appropriated by “edgy” celebrities whilst genuine SWs are still being raped & murdered. so fucking disgusting that in 2016, “no” STILL doesn’t mean no. on the day of my assault i was wearing a pair of mom jeans & an XL sweater; I was not fucking asking for it -- source link
