On the heels of this IRS campaign furor dying down, there came some well-timed white woman savior tweets from the actress Ashley Judd, and a series of texts from my sperm donor ex telling me «Go fuck for some cash and stop playing the victim. Although the word «thot» connotes a Black woman and has been specifically weaponized against Black women and girls’ sexuality, it was cisgender white women who apparently felt the most attacked and were the loudest voices «fighting back» against the incels. Poor sex workers of color have our own voices but we hardly get heard in the mainstream once these conversations are at the forefront. But the truth is, those sex workers have money, security, and prestige that most of us lack. «Regular» women are using Snapchat Premium to store and profit from thirst traps they would probably have taken anyway (because we are a visual species and sexy is always in)-yet simultaneously these women work hard to distance themselves from the whores they think less of. The line between Snapchat Premium «girls,» cammodels, and porn stars and actors is a financial one and a social one. At the same time, there were Snapchat Premium cyberthots claiming that somehow they were different than «those» sex workers.

You love sex work.» I think about how Black women, and Black sex workers in particular, are targeted for promoting society’s ills, when all we are doing is trying to survive systemic oppression and capitalism, same as everyone else. Black, Brown, poor, and trans sex workers absorb most of the stress and violence and are erased constantly.

Black, https://18escortgirls.com/escortsgirls/#נערות ליווי Brown, poor, and trans sex workers absorb most of the stress and violence and are erased constantly, even while being overshadowed by middle-class women. Erasing race allows whiteness, https://18escortgirls.com/escortsgirls/#נערות ליווי cis-ness, and (compulsory) monogamous heterosexuality to be continually pushed as the norm while pushing those who are already the most marginalized further into the margins. While women are the main ones targeted for behavior and blamed for https://18escortgirls.com/escortsgirls/#נערות ליווי men’s deviancy and (stereotyped) hypersexual urges, men’s behavior is also controlled in this narrative. Yet we are usually the ones targeted or affected by these fear mongering, anti-whore crusades. Even our pejoratives are co-opted and whitened. Much of the hysteria was mainly just that-most sex workers do report their income and pay taxes, plus you need a certain amount of information before you can report someone to the IRS, https://18escortgirls.com/escortsgirls/#נערות ליווי including a street address, full legal name, date of birth, and taxpayer identification number, according to the IRS’s page, and even then it’s unlikely they will call for an audit.

It’s not a term I use often. Comparing a catchy modern-day term for basement boys and middle class Nazis who feel entitled to women to a centuries-old racial slur hurled at enslaved Black people as they were beaten, captured, and dehumanized is a reach if I ever heard one. White women happily jumped on the term «thot» and suddenly I saw nudes and «thot leader» in their tweets and bios. During this social media moment of mass harassment and hysteria, I saw the phrase «this is a war on women» from white and Black women alike, and many were not sex workers or directly related to the community at all. Misogyny unites them, just as racism unites white men and women. We are missing in this discussion-yet again-our discourse and slang hijacked and purified by the image of cisgender white women. We are independent and self-funded, but now we need you to keep us up and running!

These females (a not-so-witty euphemism for bitches) are ignorant. But then there are other classes of women within those classes, like women who are sex workers. I returned to Twitter after a light weekend break to see a new hashtag making its rounds-a man who calls himself David Wu started a campaign against camgirls and other cyberthots on Facebook and it made its way over to Twitter. Feminists always wanna talk about empowerment and having control over your time when it comes to sex work because they picture the flexible schedules and free time they wish they had in their chosen professions. This is part of a historical campaign to control both women and men’s sexuality. However, this campaign solely targeted women, and used a racialized word to further drive home their point: to target working class and poor women, mostly women of color. I say whore, rather than sex worker, because although sex workers should be centered in these discussions, these crusades also widely target those who are considered to be deviant women, from lay hoes and social sluts to strippers and escorts.
