Sex work is consensual. Sex trafficking is coerced. The crackdown on Backpage is not about ending trafficking; it’s motivated by the patriarchal notion that women should not be free to do what we want with our bodies. #DecrimNow #LetUsSurvive

In the coming days, we will be sharing more about sex workers rights to uplift this critical issue. We’re all still learning and as always, we have to listen to the voices of those most impacted. #SexWorkIsWork

That's right. How dare they deny women the right to be objectified, exposed to disease, abuse, diminished self-regard, and value that never extends beyond their genitals. Yeah. You guys really are standing up for women. /sarc/

Bingo, Roseanne. I have compassion for sex workers but even if you agree w/your premise (which is extreme, is incredibly divisive & destructive to liberals & does NOT represent all women) this is a site that facilitated the abuse & forced slavery of kids & teens. Fact.
