    What we have to come to terms with is that there are a lot of people who are utterly indifferent to the killing of sex workers or people who might be sex workers. This is a terrible fact but explains much of the press coverage & words/actions of police.https://twitter.com/courtneymilan/status/1372378307988058114 …

    I am kind of not okay about the fact that this 21 year old killed women my mother's age and so many people are like "well, shrug, that's what happens when you have irresistible objects of lust."

        As I read your words I thought right away of biblical times. And how little has changed in thousands of years. Lordy.

        Since time immemorial men have been raping women, then immediately killing them often while still engaged in the act of rape. Women have been considered disposable since the rise of the patriarchy. Men must address this issue starting in their own house with how they raise sons

        not only that but the sex worker narrative seems to be being played down or ignored here. This is a grey-ish area where sex work is accepted in the community(low key) and still demonized by the same community. Fucking, Bob Kraft got away while the women were charged.

        Sex work should be decriminalized because sex workers should not be turned into criminals. That’s about all the reason I need. I don’t give a fuck about their customers.

        Sounds like a slightly more sinister spin off of the "they deserved to die, they did SOMETHING bad in the past" rhetoric we heard so often during the lethal police shootings in the last few years... "was on drugs" "had a fake 20" "did steal" "had a knife in his car"...

        also weird how the damnation of sexwork often comes from people that later turn out to have often made use of its services.... ashamed of themselves they still blame the ladies cause they "made it possible to sin". Ahh religion, the 100% deadsure guarantee it never was YOU.
