Not really. They are not as shamed as they used to be. They are celebrated with people calling it empowering until the next day they change their mind and call it objectification.

At any rate, you haven't really disputed my point.
Yes they are. No seriously; I have never once heard a regressive leftist say that sex work, that is to say having sex with someone for money, is "empowering". They have called selling what is little more than titillation empowering, basically just showing off you cleavage on a Twitch stream, but that's something completely different.

You're not Terthna.
But I am, and I too would like some clarification on what your point was.

Words mean things. Usually it's the regressive left I have to explain that to. :cautious:
I said that men would like the woman they are with to be sluts/slutty towards them and them alone. My mistake in more of how I described whores.

Yeah, it's the generalization there I have problems with. You actually sound not unlike an intersectional feminist now, who basically demonize male sexuality.
Describing what whores are is demonizing men? Lol

What you said is bullshit because the second part of your arguments do not logically follow from the first part. You are arguing an absurdity that sounds like something straight out of a moral panic.


What slippery slope? To what are you referring to, specifically? All I have to go off of are your two weird arguments, one of which is invalid because prostitution remains illegal in basically all but one state in this country, and the other incorrectly defines prostitutes and purports that all girls will grow up to be one.


No, you just aren't making your arguments very well, and in this specific case, you haven't even defined what it is. What slippery slope argument are you talking about? It certainly isn't one I made.
Again, with the pretending to be ignorant. You have been here for a while man. You know what the hell I'm talking about when I talk about the Slippery slope.

At any rate, I'm done. Nothing you said I accept. and nothing I said you accept. So whatever. Have the last word.

I can understand @Certified_Heterosexual opposition to the unshaming of prostitution. Once something is no longer shamed, it becomes celebrated which encourages more people to join. I have heard, not sure if true btw, of lots of women joining OnlyFans to get rich which means that tons of girls have now become for all intents and purposes prostitutes. If true? This will only grow thus you have a situation where in the future, all girls are basically prostitutes.

So men have to accept to either stay and be alone or accept their girlfriends fucking around on them for money and being on OnlyFans.

You can't even say that good parenting would make them not do that as good parenting nowadays is drag kids.
I made a comment that I can understand why Certified feels the way he does. Whats so hard in this post to understand exactly? You can disagree with it which is fine. But whats exactly difficult to comprehend?

Here's the funny thing. Let relations between men and women break down. Fuck it honestly. To me companion bots are the future. Certified and people like him want to try and recover the older days relations between men and women. Captain X seems to think that we can do the stuff I mentioned and nothing will change. Relations will continue as normal. This is stupid

me? I think relations will get worse and I accept that actually. let it get worse. bring on the bots.

Actually, I think I get it now; your argument is that if prostitution wasn't shamed, more women would become prostitutes. I suppose the logic is sound, but I doubt every woman would become one; for one thing, supply and demand would ensure that, if such a thing were to happen, the job would pay basically nothing due to the glut of supply, thereby driving down interest in it as an occupation.

Exactly. When something is no longer shamed. It becomes celebrated. Especially when said thing has tons of fucking money involved.

I then said that you can't make an argument that parents would raise girls to not be prostitutes cause well look at the whole drag kids mess.

So if all girls become prostitutes, men who want to have long term relationships have to either accept this or stay celibate.

Thats basically all I said. I wasn't even saying hence we should do what Certified wants.

My position is forget women and get the bots and artificial wombs running.

Lol, I wish.

I just acknowledge that gender relations are fucked to hell and back. And that fixing it can't happen cause women like things the way they are. And want to push things even more fucked up levels.

so instead of bothering with this nonsense. I say bring on the alternatives.

Well again, if every girl became a prostitute, there wouldn't be that much money to go around for all of them. I'm not even sure turning tricks would net you higher wages than flipping burgers, with such an overabundance in labor. We'd probably see some sort of increase in women pursuing a career in sex work, but not so much that men wouldn't be able to find someone who didn't work in the field as a partner.

It actually ties into why I think the regressive left hate prostitutes; the women there expect to squeeze every cent out of you on the mere suggestion that something might happen if you do. Meanwhile, the prostitute is offering you a fair trade; one night with her, in exchange for an amount of currency agreed upon beforehand. In short, the regressive left wants to artificially restrict the supply of sex, in the hopes of using it to manipulate men, and they see those who sell sex as a threat to that goal.

In that you say men only want sluts/whores and are not interested in the romance aspect of relationships. This is an argument right out of the purple-haired feminist handbook that describes men as little more than animals.

Again, with the pretending to be ignorant. You have been here for a while man. You know what the hell I'm talking about when I talk about the Slippery slope.
Not really. About all I can assume is that you're referring to your horribly made arguments, in which case, no, we're not there, so you can hardly claim such. I suppose that fits in with the absurdity of your other two main points, though.

At any rate, I'm done. Nothing you said I accept. and nothing I said you accept. So whatever. Have the last word.

The arguments you made are nonsense. You may be only trying to explain how another poster feels, but the argument you made is still nonsense.

Certified and people like him want to try and recover the older days relations between men and women.
People romanticize the past, but it really wasn't that great, especially for women. I suppose realizing this would require being able to put yourself in their shoes, though.

Captain X seems to think that we can do the stuff I mentioned and nothing will change. Relations will continue as normal. This is stupid
No, things would pretty much remain the same for the majority of people

Exactly. When something is no longer shamed. It becomes celebrated. Especially when said thing has tons of fucking money involved.
Just because something is no longer shamed, it does not follow that it would then become celebrated. This is absurdity. You also seem to think it would be instant riches for anyone getting into it, but it's subject to the same market forces as everything else.

I then said that you can't make an argument that parents would raise girls to not be prostitutes cause well look at the whole drag kids mess.
That drag kids thing is going to help spell the end of the regressive left. If you conservatives should be jumping all over that to help make it happen. ;)

So if all girls become prostitutes, men who want to have long term relationships have to either accept this or stay celibate.
And this is your other absurd argument, based on an assumption that all women would want to become prostitutes, which is without any kind of basis.

My position is forget women and get the bots and artificial wombs running.
The funny thing is, I rather like the idea of sex bots as an option and an outlet for people, though admittedly a big part of that is how much autistic screeching is coming from the intersectional feminist crowd. I have a feeling that the reasoning Terthna suggested for why the sex-negative feminists are against sex work in general applies for why they are against that, which is to say that they don't want men to have an outlet or an option that doesn't include them.

You can't live like morality is subjective.
It is and humanity at large already does live like that, because every group has a different sense of morality. That Venn diagram can overlap in some places, but it's still different depending on what group you are part of.

Within a minute, you started talking about what society "needs to change".
So? Not sure what kind of a "gotcha" you think you have there, but its immaterial to the subject of marriage in the US.

I'm stupid for doing this but I will reply to this as I just can't deal with the stupid.

The rest I will not bother with.

Now, we are specifically talking about sex and prostitution here. So thats what my comment is about. Like do I have to literally explain every little thing? Men want their women to love them and accept their love, be loyal, a good mother if they want kids and desire them/lustful towards them and be willing to do dirty stuff with them.

There, are you happy that I explained every little thing? Couldn't you have inferred all of the above on your own?

Also, not a conservative. And yeah, keep with this nonsense that you don't know what the slippery slope is. You are not fooling me buddy.

Well thanks for clarifying that point. And here I thought you were making a generalization about men and women.

I don't because you won't explain it. I mean, you explained your last point, so why not this one? Or are you afraid I'll rake you over the coals with it? 😏

How can you not get it? Do you accept specific points and take them as describing literally everything? Relationships are not just about sex. Of fucking course I was talking about sex and everything related to it when I said men want their women to be slutty towards them. What the fuck did you think I meant?

I don't because you won't explain it. I mean, you explained your last point, so why not this one? Or are you afraid I'll rake you over the coals with it? 😏
Lol, you haven't raked anything buddy. I don't accept anything you have said. You don't accept anything I have said.

Slippery slope fallacy. Conservative christians basically made the argument that letting gays marry would lead to all sorts of shit cause slippery slope. people made fun of them. Me included about this. Unfortunately, they have mostly been proven right. We have pedos being called MAPS and people defending them. We have drag kids. We have vice calling men out on why they don't want to be gay. We have all the trans shit. I could go on and on. We have all had discussions about this and I know you were there.

And yet you act like you've never heard of this and like its never happened. Nonsense.

I explained it for you. Happy?

I mean, you're not wrong about the stuff happening, but it isn't because of marriage equality so much as others taking advantage. You can already see the effect of this as they are already throwing gay men under the bus now that they are no longer of any use for them.

And yet you act like you've never heard of this and like its never happened. Nonsense.
None of that was in any of your posts I was responding to, which dealt with prostitution. You can't go on an on about a slippery slope and just expect everyone to know what the hell you're talking about, especially when it has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

I explained it for you. Happy?
Yes, actually.

Every time you say society is this or that, you imply certain codes of morality are more true than others.

What right would you have to condemn Nazis or Communists if morality is subjective?

You do not live as if Maoist morality is as good as libertarian morality for example. And make no mistake: both ideologies have moral principles behind them.

It's really not though is the thing. Men and men like me do not infact consider hoes to be women. They are two different things goes exist for sex while women exist for companionship. The two are not in any way the same not should they be treated the same way.

Because I believe what they stood for was morally wrong. Morality being subjective does not invalidate one's own beliefs on what is and is not moral; it merely explains how different people in different circumstances can come to different conclusions on that subject.

It also means both your ideas on what is moral are equally (that is, 100%) arbitrary. What possible materialistic reason could you have for believing Maoism is wrong, as a believer in subjective morality? The most you can say is that you personally get an icky feeling when you consider it.

Nonetheless, under your logic, our positions are morally equivalent. Of course we can have our own morality. Subjective morality is little more than personal preference. However, only objective morality allows us to make a value judgement.

People have said that they're free to do as they please for decades. I say that free love is wrong. The increase in infidelity, decline of marriage, and the rise of degeneracy like "trans kids" proves me right. That's objective morality.

Meanwhile, I say that organized religion is wrong. All the violence done in its name, its rejection of science, and the abuses perpetrated by those it gives power over others to proves me right. That's the issue with claiming that something is objectively moral; there's no shortage of justifications one can point to for one's own beliefs on what is and is not moral, and if it was truly objective, we wouldn't be arguing about it with each other. The simple fact that I don't agree with you that free love is wrong (or rather, its original form as the belief that the state had no business meddling in sexual matters such as marriage, birth control, and adultery), and you don't agree that organized religion is wrong, despite the evidence each of us presents to justify our beliefs, is itself proof that trying to determine objective morality is far more difficult than you assumed.

Consider this; we can both agree that murder is morally reprehensible, correct? Now consider the trolley problem; pulling the lever, killing one to save five, is murder. Or rather, I believe it would be murder; many would disagree with me on that, but that's how I interpret the thought experiment. It would be murder to kill one person to save five, so I would not pull the lever. In the end though, our positions are not morally equivalent; because you and I are not equivalent. I believe certain things are wrong, you believe that other things are; and society is about reconciling those differences, finding compromises where possible, but also punishing those who do what the majority have decided is immoral.
