I agree with that.

But yes doesn't mean yes?

For someone concerned about the plight of the poor women in the sex industry, sex-neg feminists treat them like dirt. I've seen them clash with on youtube and the sex-negs were absolutely cruel. They really have no use for women who are unrepentant about being in the industry. It would seem to me if they felt anything like humanitarianism, they would be at least cordial.

If you ever see any shows that have women giving pro- and con- porn or prostitution views, you may notice an interesting thing: unlike any other issue, they never have them on at the same time. Now, maybe it's happened when I didn't see it, but noticed that, and noticed no other issue is treated like that.
