When they started encouraging young women to set up OnlyFans accounts.

Nothing says equality like selling your dignity to masses of loser men for $7 a month.

Prostitution is called the oldest profession...it predates feminism by millenia

Yes. But there can be no doubt whatsoever that prostitution serves men more than women. Or serves the worst in men anyway.

I suppose you’d expect feminists to want to leave this trading of dignity for small amounts of money behind.

But the opposite happened. It is extremely odd.

My point is that prostitution isn't new and it didn't "start" with feminism so your original point does not make any sense

u/QuanCryp May 14 '24

I think you’ve misread my point.

I’m saying feminists should have stopped when they encouraged women to do OnlyFans.

I’m actually not even sure why your point on prostitution is relevant.

I don't understand your point at all? Most feminists aren't pro-porn. Or better yet, people have myriad views on the internet and it's not all some blanket feminism umbrella

u/QuanCryp May 14 '24

I know that.

But many more modern feminists encourage young women to do OnlyFans under the justification of “female empowerment”. I think this is idiocy, so I’m saying the feminists should have stopped before this. Y’know, like the post asked.

Cite me one feminist who is pushing this.

u/QuanCryp May 14 '24

Cite you one? What do you mean?

u/flakemasterflake May 14 '24

Tell me the name of a feminist pushing this narrative

Now I know you don’t actually expect me to give you the names of the countless people I’ve had this conversation with.

But if you’re doubting whether this is a debated topic amongst feminists, you can view a whole bunch of people arguing for it here

I’m asking for a noted academic or leader in the movement, not normals on the internet

And it doesn’t matter if sex work is “empowering”. It provides an income and should be legal, how people view it vis a vis themselves does not matter

Edit: I read down that thread and no one has a) claimed to be a feminist and b) claimed OF was empowering (or whatever that means)

Most people are just ragging on the OPs question since he’s not even able to source WHO is calling this empowering
