"In some instances, I used sex as a form of self-harm to get over... my own insecurities." But using camming is a totally legit way to get over insecurities, right?
Pickme's get sooooo close to getting it before losing the plot.
This article literally reads like someone input pro-sex worker and FDS into an AI. What the actual fuck. This article has vibes of uncanny valley all over it.
I can't listen to the podcast but I just read the article. OMG - I'm actively repulsed by this. It's a weird mix of FDS principles and pro-sex work trash.
From the article: "I've been thinking recently that perhaps it's because of our swipe-heavy dating culture that you only truly understand the value of your body once it becomes a commodity."
WTAF! This hypersexualized culture has really f'ed women up badly for that to be her thought process.
Also at the end of the article she says that she had sex on a 2nd date because she wanted to put distance between her and a recent boyfriend. Ma'am - you are still using sex for the wrong reasons!
I just can't even handle this. Honestly, I wonder how women have any kind of self-worth with all this trash in the media.
feminism is basically few smart women fighting to make things better for women only for hoars uhh I mean pickmes ruining every progress
HVM don't want cam girls or sex workers. Harsh but true facts.
Ugh refinery21 aka the nightmare rag. I accidentally subscribed to it once after reading one of their fashion articles. Worst mistake ever! Suddenly all these pickme articles are crowding my inbox; pro-sleeping around with randos you just met, how to dress for different men, how to ask men out, etc. There was even an entire series of articles on whether women should shave downstairs and what men thought about it. Just a regular dumpster fire, the best thing I did was to unsubscribe.
What kind of dystopian world does she live in where camming is a level up from the dating culture. FDS needs to come out with its own dating app where, if you’re swiping right on scrotes, it just sends you to an article on the benefits that working on your self-esteem will have on your dating life.
We need to have our own FDS magazine!
