I like to consider myself to be a healthy, modern feminist, so you can imagine my frustration and shame when so many other healthy, modern feminists either demonize or belittle sex workers after lumping us all into safe, predictable categories.
I was thrilled when I stumbled upon this particular take on the almost comical reactions that most sex-workers get from fellow women (and men, of course). The rules are simple: mark a space every time you hear an argument from a well-meaning feminist and stand-up when you connect the dots across the board. ENJOY!

It’s an interesting chart, and so many of the pieces are partly true; clearly tropes from an *excellent* liar.
For example, ‘sex workers have drug problems.’ If you replace ‘sex workers’ with ‘people’ you can clearly see that both statements are partly true some X do; insidious.
There’s one little sliver of the sex trade I’d like to see go away; one little subsliver conjures a unique emotional experience. Conflating that sliver with the whole of the industry is absurd, though.
