It's entire gimmick is landlords taking advantage of tenants and raping them.

Mao, where are you? These parasites desperately need your boot and to be reminded what fear feels like.

    I am sure many do, but I am unconvinced that consent is possible when money and the implicit threat of starvation is on the table.

      im a victim. i have ptsd. im well aware of what consent is. im well aware of how fucked capitalism is, it has fucked me over in hundreds of ways, some crippling.

      many jobs can give you ptsd. being a nurse can give you ptsd. being a doctor can. getting a limb gnarled in a machine in a factory can give you ptsd. interpersonal violence in a workplace can give you ptsd. i dont really think my form of ptsd is particularly special. in some cases, i think i have it easier than other people with ptsd from something more common (one person i know had ptsd with gunshots, anything loud can set them off) despite having been raped twice already. so, these things are all occupational hazards. what exactly makes rape as an occupational hazard more sacrosanct than other work hazards? i bet youll say: ah yes, it's because i was raised in an anglo-saxon protestant society and sex is bad therefore yada yada yada oh my god thats your genitals its so much more personal than having your limbs brutally ripped off!

      yes, in an ideal society, we would have zero occupational hazards. i just want puritans to shut the fuck up.

          ok, then you understand that sex work should be legal but in a socialist structure while doing everything possible to mitigate hazards?

            I think sex work should be legal even under capitalism tbh, the exploitative elements of sex work are not caused by sex workers or sex work itself. It doesn't help anyone to criminalize it.
