      That makes you an enemy of the main groups that make up 3rd wave feminism. And you a great person.

      Intersectional (3rd wave) feminism is all about individual choice too I believe and they definitely advocate sex work rights.

      Intersectional feminism is about the collective, not the individual. They’ve smeared and abused women who choose traditional roles, like housewife, and there is a schism in progress with “white feminism” and everyone else.

      Maybe I’m confused then, I know that most intersectional fems agree with sex work. Rad fems are more about the collective as far as I’m aware. @HPluckrose would know best.

      Do you believe in affirmative action?

      Very rarely. The only time I think it’s acceptable is for important public service roles such as in government.

      Yeah or when there is some legitimate need for people of a certain sex, race to take a role. Eg, nursing in East London includes a lot of conservative Muslims & Jews. Male nurses and those who speak Urdu were needed in way greater numbers than available.

          However, I wouldn't call that affirmative action. Just a higher demand for people with a specific skillset. Except the male part of course, but that wasn't done because males were underrepresented.

          Its a genuine reason to say we need more of a certain demographic in a place

          But affirmative action is about fixing the (perceived) inequality of that demographic, while, in your example, the need for the demographic isn't about the demographic itself, but an outside factor (conservative muslims being stupid).
