Honestly, MLs tend to do this with a lot of convos, I feel.

    Feminists and other pro-women movements have a lot of different opinions on pornography. Some agree with the position you’re describing, but to my knowledge it’s far from a consensus.

      Indeed. I am still working up the courage, but I would like to try being a cam girl. NOT because I need the money, but because it sounds fun to me. It’s just a bit of sex.

      Edit: hey downvoters! How about you tell me why you think you should have some say over what I do with my body or who I show it to? And how that relates to feminism?

        I’m an upvoter, but some of us may be fearful of you going into a potentially dangerous field and/or reproducing patriarchal ideas in your potential customers as well as reproducing the notion that becoming a cam girl is a fun idea in this patriarchal climate. In all the feminist literature I’ve read, though, shaming, gaslighting or traumatizing individual practitioners of sex-work or adjacent work was never presented as a good or feasible idea, and I assume you’re aware of the risks and are doing it despite not having a need for money, so I support you here.

          I’m brown, trans, and becoming openly communist. Safety went out the window long long ago. That doesn’t mean that a girl can’t have a bit of fun. Life isn’t worth living if I choose to spend it in fear.

          As far as reinforcing patriarchal ideas? I think sex workers have some seriously underrated power.

            More power to you. Just keep yourself safe out there. It can be a nasty business.

            If you find fun in it, and you are not causing any harm. Then what’s stopping you? Have fun and that’s all that matters!
