i’m up early oppressing the poor & working people on my block – mostly by volunteering at neighborhood and community organizations, but i’m also helping my neighbor open a business (authentic street food style from el df – watch for it!), oh and there’s the copper mine in my back yard on capp street, and my manufacturing business for nike in the garage – so i wasn’t paying much attention to that imperialist structure telling me what to do.

no one wants prostitutes walking up & down their blocks (or i should say, very few people…apparently kevmo does). personally, i’m not speaking from a moral point of view. simply from a safety point of view. the women may be perfectly nice (in my hood i wouldnt call them that), but the pimps & johns pose a danger.

so, if the sex trade – the street level sex trade – were organized… i think these women would have a better shake at the biz, at managing their own lives, their own safety, and a road out should they desire it.

fact is, incall prostitutes are (much more) rarely touched by the legal system, as they are generally more in control, often can run their biz without a pimp…and they’re not walking the fucking streets making a nuisance of themselves and creating unsafe situations in front of people’s homes. same goes for better organized outcall.

of course, women walking our blocks dont have the options to “set up their own business”. i get that.

but if the whole street sex work scene were legitimized WITH A PLAN (not like buillshit Prop K), i think true activism could emerge…activism from within the sex work community that could organize and help along even the most needy sex worker to provide either a safe road forward, or a safe road out.

of course, sf would have to get past its provincial attitude toward pretty much everything (particularly rules & regulations),

and “progressive” politicians would actually have to find a real world solution to an actual problem, not just a bullshit smokescreen that appeals to white liberals who dont live anywhere near these type of issues and panders to the ineffective & corrupt industrial “Advocacy” complex that currently exists.

really? does that sound right?

not to me.’

That is because you are so far on the senseless side of age and class that you have no connection to reality. How much further do you insinst on embarrasing yourself by insisting to keep posting ignorant comments on a mission centric blog?

a rebuttal is unnecessary, as an argument has not been made.

If zinzin’s as glaringly ignorant as you claim — unlikely, in my opinion, but hey, opinions are like, well, you know — it should be pretty easy to come up with a rebuttal.

really? does that sound right?

not to me.

i guess i should say…it’s bad for me.

I’m sorry to come off very harshly, but I have been reading for quite awhile and pretty soft spoken and don’t even usually comment, never been so moved to comment but by such ignorance.
