Inspired by FistfulofDicks YouTube Video 'Stigma'

If you haven't already tuned in, there's a YouTube breakdown on the sex industry. There are the sex-positive pro-industry people on one side and the radical, socialist and marxist feminists on the other deconstructing the industry.

It's gotten incredibly heated. In fact, I made an entire blog post on the subject including a compilation video of the video responses typical of the sex-positive 'camp'. (the term 'camp' was coined by a chair-throwing sex-positive which you'll see in my video.)

Many feminists have gotten to the point of dropping the whole topic, or, well, not talking about it as much because the sex-positive 'camp' isn't really interested in dialogue. See above video.

One feminist, FistfulofDicks, made several good videos about the feminist position on the sex industry and of course it was met with the same derision from the sex-positive camp. It got to the point where FoD took down all her videos and just gave up. So we all rallied round her and said 'No! You're vital to this community! Don't give up!' so she came back, today actually.

Here's the video she came back with:



The reference to the 'n-word' in FoD's video comes from another YouTube user named Variablast who is trying to get people to call each other N*%^#)s in the hope that he can change the definition of the word from 'black person' to 'human.' Yes, this is effing stupid but here's one of his videos where he slams people for going against his little experiment.



This guy is a tool, yes, but let's get back to stigma. Many sex positive people on YouTube blame feminists who deconstruct the sex industry for the stigma that goes along with being a sex worker and/or the stigma that surrounds the industry. They also claim that legalizing or decriminalizing prostitution will end the stigma. It's the same thinking that inspired that white dude up there to go on a campaign to redefine the word n^@*#r to mean human. This is a ridiculous claim and I'll tell you why.

The power holder in the sex industry belongs to the buyer. The reason there is stigma is due to power differentials, as FoD explained. Now, in prostitution or pornography, the demand is coming from males and more specifically, if we look at prostitution, the buyer has the power because he is the one that has, within his power, the power to feed, house, and otherwise provide basic needs in the form of money.

The reality is the prostitute is the one that is needy and trying to survive and oftentimes she is NOT given her payment. The denial of payment is another reason that the buyer has the power. You can't undo a sex act but you can sure as hell take back your money or whatever resource a prostitute is needing. Talk about a power differential.

In the Western world, the sex industry is overwhelmingly catering to male demand and this is because the society is patriarchal. It's male focused, male run, and male dominated.

Amaretto Diaries: Honesty & The Turtle Shells We Feminists Wear

BEFORE, you watch the video you must read this.

I'm happy that a young woman who is budding into feminism has taken an interest. This would be my chica, JuiceyAngel.

Part of this video is for young feminists on YouTube who want to get active with us and who might think we're not really paying much mind to them. I explain why this can be difficult and I've got a solution, which I'm going to implement, and when I do, I'm going to make a grand entrance onto YouTube and tell you all where our HOUSE is so you can join.

ON RUNNING FEMINISTUBE:

Most of you know that FT is no longer. Along with destroying my account they also destroyed my group. No panicking. I'm making a new one BUT I've noticed that another group for feminists has been made. I don't mind that a new group was made but I take issue with it as you'll see in the video.

I have NO QUALMS with those who have gone on to lead. My video, that is no longer available, about leadership was one where I state explicity that the goal of being a leader is to create MORE leaders. So I'm proud I influenced others within FT to become their own creatrix's and leaders but I'm still a bit sad.

I stuck my arse out in the wind for a feminist cause and look where it got me eh? No matter. I'd do it again, cuz I'm determined like that.

I'm a little drunk in this video, just a little, but the message is the same albeit a bit 'slower' than usual.

The Woman Who Fell To Earth: The Amaretto Diaries

Hi people! Wow! This is such a great platform for videos. I LOVE bliptv!

Tonight's video includes: amaretto, Conference Report, David Bowie, and a new purse.

Aside from the video, I've been thinking:

I'm going to start another FeminisTube. Yep. It will be the companion to Jedi's FeminisTubeZ. However, I'm going to have it off-site. This will be the best thing since Muhammad having his first erection upon getting martyred and arriving in heaven, only to see 12 virgins in bear suits waiting to give him a bear job.

The thing is, no offense Jedi, but I really don't want to cause your channel any problems. It's kinda like the vid you did tonight about how women are supposed to be all kind and nice all the time and if they get angry about anything, suddenly, they get called illogical and irrational and if they have the audacity to respond negatively to assholes, they'll get false flagged.

If I don't have a place where I can be me and all the little 'oh woe is me, I'm being bullied' people are going to continue to hang on every fucking video and word I say, then I fear the channel will be flagged out of business, and I don't want that.

You see, I feel a bit offish about not having a feminist hub that's SAFE, and since I've not been invited to join the collective, well, I gotta make another place for us. We're now the FEMINIST OUTLAWS. YEAH!

So it will be off-site. Probably a bb. I'm going to trick it all out and then unveil it to the masses! So consider this a request for moderators! C'mon PEOPLE!

Anywho, much love to all of you who've supported me through these rough spots. I misses oos sooooo much. I wants to comes back to zee tubez but I'm free here!
