     @essie @vriska @Moon I don't understand how he can call himself a male feminist if he is going to a brothel for sex...

     @essie @vriska i'm not really a feminist so my criticism is probably worthless but i see men that are obviously like
     
     "Of course I'm pro-choice. What if my side chick got pregnant? that could be me!"

     @Moon @vriska the brothel he went to got raided for tax evasion and trafficking, and his argument was that he went to the brothel before they came under investigation, the government was never able to make the human trafficking charges stick to the brothel owners - but anyone with half a brain knows that so many women even in legal brothels are forced into it, there were documented cases of pimps making women work at that specific brothel and if he’s gonna call himself a “feminist” he should know that if you have to buy sexual consent that’s coercion lol, it’s insane that people like him can make out as if it’s reactionary to think you shouldn’t be able to fuck sex slaves at will and people just go along with it

     @Moon @vriska ive seen so many clips of him seething about “swerfs” or “radfems” in response to perfectly valid criticism and it’s just so unsubtle lol just admit you don’t respect any woman who doesnt validate your personal whims!

     @Moon I don't believe Hasan has ever actually done anything to help anybody in a concrete way in his life

     @essie @vriska my feminism will be about freeing women to be more sexually accessible to me specifically or it will be bullshit

     @essie @vriska i guess i don't care if a woman sells sex although i am suspicious of it in the context of being an employee where your boss is trying to maximize literally rent-seeking your ass

     @thatguyoverthere @Moon @essie @vriska I think I may have heard similar but it still doesn't make a lot of sense. Isn't it worse when you get a man supporting it too?

     @sim @Moon @essie @vriska yeah I think it's a tricky issue (no pun intended). On the one hand I wouldn't want to take away someone's freedom to make a living how they see fit, but when it is exploitative (which is likely more often the case) then I think it's a problem. I don't know if "man in charge" is the line you would want to draw though. It is possible for a person to offer protection for vulnerable people without exploiting them.
     
     If the laws allowed these kinds of businesses to offer the same kind of legal protection to their workers and customers as other businesses there might be a lot less exploitation. I'm not an advocate of prostitution, but I don't think criminalizing it helps to prevent it.

     @thatguyoverthere @Moon @essie @vriska As soon as you involve money, it's most likely to become exploitative. I don't think there is any real solution to this problem. If you make it legal, that will normalise it even more. It's been hard enough to get support from the police for young girls/teens who have been exploited in this way. Imagine how much worse it gets if it is legal and how it will be seen that they are asking to be raped because they keep going back even though these men know where they live and threaten them or their family.

     @sim @Moon @essie @vriska yeah that's why I said it's tricky. Ideally if it were legal there would be framework in place to prevent exploitation, and a system in place for people to lodge complaints if/when they feel they or someone they know is being exploited (and protection for victims). We haven't solved child labor in the US, but we do have a framework that seems at least to reduce it. If a business is forced to exist on a black market, those protections don't work as well.
     
     The idea that police aren't quick to do their jobs when it counts isn't exclusive to this issue either. I think that could at least in part (not necessarily in the case of prostitution) be due to the sheer quantity of laws they are expected to uphold.
