There's a shocking amount of men who simply hate women.

Pays to have sex with a pornstar...but also wants to make porn illegal...

Or take other people’s lives, often children’s.

I respect sex workers, I don’t respect veterans.

Lose* but your point is spot on!

Hey Velociraptor please make sure you stay non political we are a safe space from that

that doesn’t mean sex work isn’t work, it just means it’s more exploitative and less compensated than other work. largely because it’s frowned upon by society, if not illegal.

you don’t get most of these benefits while working at a fast food. are fast food workers not workers?

OF doesn’t come with murdering people, so it’s pretty good.

It's almost like there are laws in place that enforce and proliferate the systematic abuse of sex workers. On the other hand, it's easier to promise a pension when your employees sign up to go into a warzone.

But you sound like someone who's never had to deal with veterans affairs.

edit: Nice edit instead of just responding. I'm sure that's totally true.

Dude. My current job does not offer those. In fact, no job i've had over 30 years in IT has (health insurance is irrelevant, i live in a country with a healthcare system) .

What has that got to do with the price of fish?

You still sold your body. And for what? To help further the goal of killing more brown people and getting more oil just so you get a come up? You just took the easy way for cowards,. That's nothing to brag about

What is the point of your comment and ~ signoff ~ here? The original post is highlighting the hypocrisy of certain people looking down upon XYZ while proudly advertising their status as ABC. XYZ involves consensually selling illusions of one’s body in the form of digital images, video, chats, whereas ABC involves using one’s body to serve, ultimately, the large-scale destruction of other people’s bodies, property, lives.

Before you signed up for the military, had you never heard of a war before? Are you from a country where there had been no war or mention of war or there had never collateral damage from other countries’ wars/invasions?

Your comment comes across as this weird knee jerk defensive reaction like, well with ABC I got all these amazing bennies and I bet with XYZ you don’t get all those, huh?! And I’m Happy, too! I got Mine, soooooo take that XYZ ppl!!!!!!

Meanwhile people on XYZ are trying to survive in this political/economic hellscape. (And it’s possible that ABC people are on XYZ too, they’re not mutually exclusive- that’s only what the hypocritical person in the original post would think)

Are the people whose lives were destroyed by your military’s mission… Happy?

Do you not realize this is how you came off?

You’re really revealing how militaries do not encourage critical thinking and empathy. Or how they actively recruit people who lack critical thinking.

Throwing a tepid “o yea young me just wanted bennies but now old me thinks war is bad and no one should do it” in a comment after others (rightfully, pointedly) respond to you does not cancel your original thought out.

Some of the people in my life I respect the most voluntarily joined military or police forces and then quit, because they realized how deeply fucked up it was. Or if they served their military time, afterward they devoted time and energy to antiwar activism and efforts to actually change laws, persecute their own country’s war criminals, and change things for the better.

Based on your comment, you are not that. (Yet)

Deeply reflect on your contributions to the world and try to remember you’re not the only person in it.

What do you mean by use matters?
