      sex workers are a socially-acceptable target for the seething misogyny bubbling under the all the wokeness and civility. you can feel their excitement when they finally get to let loose and call a woman a whore, they're as giddy as a G*mer in the throes of a heated moment

        Yes, libs chomp at the bit to be more bigoted. That’s why Bill Maher just lets slip the n-words of war, it’s always at the tip of his tongue

          and then he cracks that smug little shit-eating grin because he believes it's what everyone's thinking and he's the only one brave and real enough to say it

          wow, incredible. i guess when you hate women and workers that much, any word relating to them becomes a slur, whether spat venomously or muttered under the breath or self-censored on a shitty meme

        A country founded on puritanical views.

        Pretty much everything wrong with America in general. A good comrade I knew years ago taught history at a university in the midwest and one piece of American history he loved to teach was the Salem witch trials. Many victims of Salem were just suspected of wrong doing for how they looked, and they came up with reasons to find guilt based on crazy measures.

        You see this today too in criminology with the lie detector tests. If someone passes them, they say "well, they faked it!" but if they fail it, that's used to further their guilt. You're either damned if you do, damned if you don't.

          Witch trials went on for several centuries throughout Protestant Europe, while Catholic Europe had its analog of Inquisitions.

          These were social punishment mechanisms used to coerce women into the new social roles required by the growth of capitalism.

          Peasants could split gender roles and divide labor how they saw fit. Proletariat had to be molded into strict gender roles to accommodate long days in the factories for men, and housekeeping for women. Many women (and some men) resisted those change and were charged with heresy and witchcraft.

          Tens of thousands of “witches” were killed in Europe throughout the centuries. They were overwhelmingly women who rejected the new social gender norms.

            It's sickening to read about those historical accounts. You can see where gender roles and cultural norms within evangelicalism was really formed as a result of the witch burnings.

              Got some links to these accounts or anything about this stuff? I find the transition from feudalism to capitalism fascinating. I've been needing to continue reading Caliban and the Witch.

      For one, cause they hate workers in general cause no one pushes the class war more than those smug mother fuckers.

      For two, they are just as sexist as conservatives but like to pretend they're not. Sex workers are their way of getting to embrace their sexism and push it loud and proudly.
