saw this one recently, old school shamers have no chance these days, just pack it up bro

Sex workers are the original social workers.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 11 months ago

Here's a possibly-controversial take, but joining the army isn't really even close to the best analogy for a male-dominated industry where you "sell your body".

Being a labourer is. Working in industries like construction, but not as a skilled tradesman. It doesn't carry the same moral weight riley was going for though.

[-] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

Any form of physical labour is selling your body sex work is selling your right to refuse sexual consent. I think that makes it a worse situation for the person doing the sex work than other work

If you are doing only fans or similar how are you not consenting? It's fully on your terms.

I doubt most people in the military would consent to getting their dick blown off by a mine if given the opportunity.

[-] ikiru@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

True, but it's not just about labor.

To join the US military you have to literally sign over your bodily autonomy to join. Once you do then they can pump you full of experimental drugs, or run whatever other ungodly experiments, all they want. I know someone who considered joining then backed out when this allegedly happened.

Anyway, never heard of Riley before but seems nice. Hope she supports our troops and offers military discount for her OnlyFans.

Wait, what?

I'm gonna need a source on that one my guy.

US Soldiers are given many vaccines to prepare them for various diseases abroad or weaponized. Historically, refusing could result in sever penalties. I also think it's been normally questioned whether some vaccines given were experimental or rushed, but could find no explicit proof that's happened before.

Military personnel sue for use in experimental agent testing.

By ungodly experiments, he means your typical round of vaccinations.

Also, there's a waiver for just about anything in the military. If there's an actual medical concern with vaccinations, then you can apply for a waiver. The problem is when people confuse an actual medical condition with a conspiracy theory they read on the internet.

I assume this is what they're talking about: "Under the Defense Authorization Act, the President is authorized to waive the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act's (the act) informed consent requirements in military operations if the President finds that obtaining consent is infeasible or contrary to the best interests of recipients and on an additional ground that obtaining consent is contrary to national security interests."

I doubt that; more likely they were thinking along the lines of agent orange

[-] ikiru@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

I was thinking more along the lines of the Bikini Atoll tests which included tens of thousands of people in the Navy but yeah.

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net -1 points 11 months ago

I mean the joke in the military is literally you can't kill yourself because it's destruction of government property.

I agree with the point but you can tell your boss to fuck off and stop being a laborer whereas your ass gets thrown in prison if you decide you don't want somebody else fully in control of what you eat when you sleep where you live and who you kill.

Both are selling your body but one of them you can't decide to stop selling it.

Found out my work is getting a new chemical. The chemical is so volatile that if it splashes on you, it will potentially burn you into nothing.

I am fodder for the machines of industry.

[-] DaBabyAteMaDingo@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I love this OF model. Hot and funny.

[-] ydieb@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago

What I hate with this is that is defines that the army itself is good or bad. But in reality it is what it is used for. If its actually used for defence, then it's very honorable. When it's used as a tool to exploit resources to the rich, (aka generally being the aggressor), it's not.

[-] artificialset@hexbear.net -1 points 11 months ago

joining the army in the Imperial core will always be bad and make the troop/vet complicit in the countless deaths and destruction

[-] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 11 months ago

How much Kool aid do you need to drink to think a soldiers job is "saving people"? Except for medics that's pretty much the opposite of the point.

[-] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

I thought all American soldiers died far away from home so Americans can bake apple pie and sleep on red white and blue bed sheets.

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 11 months ago

According to former US president Donald Trump, the soldiers that died abroad are all losers and suckers because a good soldier doesn't die.

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml -1 points 11 months ago

Accidentally correct Trump until that last part

[-] CountryBreakfast@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 11 months ago

Rape culture isn't honorable.

[-] SoloboiNanook@hexbear.net 0 points 11 months ago

did anyone suggest otherwise?

[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net -1 points 11 months ago

It sounds like the implication here is that sex workers are complicit in rape culture or something. Boilerplate swerf bullshit.

[-] CountryBreakfast@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 11 months ago

Im sure you are extatic to have so many bodies made free to you with market forces. You get to pearl clutch about swerfs as well. Pretty nice deal for you.

[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net -1 points 11 months ago

You can criticize sex work from this angle without implying that the sex workers themselves are complicit.

[-] CountryBreakfast@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 11 months ago
[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net 0 points 11 months ago

I have no idea what you mean by that. Do you think sex workers benefit from the system that tries to exploit them? Do you or dont you think that sex workers are complict in rape culture? Because accusing sex workers of being complicit in the system that exploits them is what makes it SWERF bullshit, not the mere criticism of sex work. Thats where the line is.

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 0 points 11 months ago

He's a lemmygrad debatebro, he just hates women.

[-] CountryBreakfast@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 11 months ago

Lmao I'm literally saying what women in my own community are telling me. Not everyone agrees with you.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

Neither of them are respectable

We live in a free society. Nobody is telling her she cannot work. She's just mad cause nobody respects her because she has no dignity left.

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

she's certainly got a lot more dignity than a paid murderer
