"Kink shaming" is a concept invented to transform male violence against women into a special protected category free from critical analysis. Who benefits from this idea that acts of male violence, degradation, abuse and hatred acted out on the bodies of women is merely a "kink"?
15 deaths by shark attack in 20 years and it's a crisis requiring an inquiry. How many women were murdered by men with no such action?
"In my experience it is only poor and vulnerable women who choose to become surrogates. Wealthy, educated women never choose to become surrogates. If it’s only poor women, how can it truly be a choice? It is exploitation."

“A woman lost her life to extreme violence”
No, this woman didn’t “lose her life”, a man beat her to death. Women aren’t just dying, men are killing them.
