I wanna talk about an issue that unfortunately occurs frequently in society: #sexism

Lemme start by addressing things that happens in 2024 and are still seen normal when the victim is a woman but unacceptable when the victim is a specific ethnic minority ( blacks for example). Yes I'm talking about #slavery . Prostitution and making women look like objects in strip clubs and what they call "entertainment" from a man's point of view is #slavery . Enslaving a woman's body in 2024 is a disgarace, this brand needs to change its name immediately.
Prostitution comes from ancient Greece and it came from the dark, nothing funny about it, it come from sex slaves. And woman who still follow this sadistic patriarchal system are just blind followers, just like in the past, some blacks liked being slaves to whites and didn't see it wrong to have a white master.

Now some people may find it offensive, I'll happily tell you that I'm speaking my mind and that #sayingthetruth is a necessity!

All this forms of "entertainment" like the abhorrent pooorn industry that uses women like slaves and sex robots, since the majority of poorn makers and poorn consumers are Male!! And all you see is human trafficking content or a blind slave to sadistic patriarchy.

Anyways I hope this inspired you to stop using sexist words and expressions that are normalized. #denormalizesexistslurs such as "hooe" , "food poorn", associating women with weakness and sex slavery contrary to men who are associated with pride and strength like the expression: "Stop being a little biitch and man the fuck up!" How disgusting an expression can be😑
Just use something else!! Just like you avoid racist slurs because #sexismequalsracism

I am creating a hashtag that I wish for everyone to share and raise awareness about this #sexistissue , let's call it:
#askstroopclubtochangeproductssexistname

I am #notreviewingthisproduct even if it's good quality, regret even buying it, plus it's a dutch product, Nederlands is a country that legalizes sex slavery aka "prostitution", imagine if she legalized slavery for dark skinned people!! How would that be perceived by the public!! Probably will end up in a civil war!! DENORMALIZE SEXISM, JUST LIKE YOU DENORMALIZED RACISM!!!

#Notreviewingthisproduct for animals if humilating my own species is still Normalized ❌❌❌

dafnelately Thanks for calling out the problematic nature of the word “porn” 🙏 I’m a bit confused what’s wrong with the name? Stroop in Dutch means “syrup” 🤔3 likesReply

iszy Maybe "stroop club" is a play on "strip club", which they don't like 3 likesReply

alice50 Strip clubs objectify women by reducing them to mere objects of visual pleasure and entertainment, prioritizing their physical appearance over their individuality. This environment encourages patriarchs to view women as commodities to be purchased, watched, and controlled. The industry perpetuates harmful stereotypes about women, hence reinforcing gender inequality and making them look less valuable. As long as long as these industries exist, no one will respect women as much as they respect men; Also, these industries are a product of the darkest layers of the patriarchy, and people don't even see it!

dafnelately I’m not sure I agree with your points about all sex work by nature being “immoral” but you definitely make some good points. In “Peaky Blinders” I thought it was interesting once the main character “respected” a woman he decided to stop sleeping with her / treating her as a prostitute.

I am definitely disturbed by the sex tourism I have witnessed in Thailand and felt very sad after talking to some transgender women in Thailand that gave in to support their surgeries.

iszy Well put, @dafnelately!1 likeReply

alice50 Peaky Blinders is designed/ written by males for males and the main characters are male. It is dangerous to think that "treating someone like a prostitute" equals "sleeping with them". I am curious when it's a man, do we same the same thing? Would a woman stop sleeping with her boyfriend because he "deserves better" and woukd like to "respect him more by not sleeping with him". You see, it's the sadistic patriarchy that portrays women like objects here to fulfill a man's wildest desires. When we apply exactly the same thing on men, it looks weird, you feel me? And why it that? Well it's because all these jobs came from ancient times where the patriarchy created this system that is still used to this day. It irritates me when other girls don't see the parallel like there is nothing to discuss, it's a form of enslaving a woman's body! Wake up!

helena12345 I have to disagree. I don’t see what’s wrong with prostitution. Sex is in peoples nature, most of us need sex to be happy. Ofcourse sex trafficking and other things are bad. But everything has bad things. But prostitution in itself, why not? There are male and female prostitutes (Ofcourse more female because men often happen to be more sexual than woman). Lots of woman even enjoy it. And for most, it’s just a job. Nothing else. Same with stripclubs. You can’t ban sex, it’s in our nature. Just like all sexism shouldn’t be banned. I see stroopclub as a fun play on words, didn’t even notice it until you pointed it 😅. I have never been to a stripclub, but always to visit one, and I even think I’d like to dance in one 😅

alice50 Would you be okay with a black person enslaving themselves because historically blacks were under the dominance of whites? If not. How can you be okay with women enslaving themselves to the patriarchy because women were historically under the dominance of men!! Can't you see THE PARALLEL!! Not making the difference between enjoying sex and supporting prostitution is like not making a difference between WORK and SLAVERY!!! Wake up!!!Reply

helena12345 Free will is free will. We simply disagree. I don’t see why it would be enslavement. They go to work and go back home in the evening. They have rights, they can quit, it’s just a job.
Talking about prostitutes. Reply

iszy Yeah, I'm not seeing the connection between consensual sex work and slavery. You could argue that living under a system that forces us to sell our bodies and time to afford shelter and food is unethical, but that applies to all professions. 3 likesReply

alice50 The connection between prostitution and slavery lies in the fundamental dynamics of power, exploitation, and control. Sex work is inherently tied to sexism because it involves the commodification of a woman's body, reducing her worth to what she can provide for male consumption. This perpetuates a patriarchal belief that women exist to satisfy men's desires, reinforcing gender inequality and sexist stereotypes. Many are forced into it due to poverty, abuse, and of course the misogyny that exists in both gender reinforcing the ideology that a woman's body exist only to satisfy a man's desires. Even when sex work is labeled as ‘consensual,’ all these women choose it out of desperation and lack of opportunities. Consent that comes from limited options or survival isn't real consent—it’s coercion. Moreover, the industry thrives on control and exploitation, with pimps, traffickers, and clients exercising power over the bodies and lives of those involved. Just like slavery, it's a system that dehumanizes and profits off the vulnerability of others, often trapping people in cycles of abuse and dependence. So, yes, sex work is deeply connected to both sexism and slavery. It upholds sexist beliefs by commodifying women's bodies and resembles slavery by trapping people in a cycle of exploitation, where true autonomy and freedom are stripped away.Reply

alice50 Many women who enter 'consensual' sex work often end up regretting it because of the deep emotional, psychological, and social toll it takes on them. It’s not just a matter of selling labor; it’s about selling something that touches the core of their dignity and self-worth. Even if a woman initially consents, the experience can lead to feelings of shame, devaluation, and trauma. If there’s truly nothing wrong with sex work, then why are so many slurs and derogatory terms used to insult women associated with prostitution? Words like 'whore,' 'slut,' or 'hooker' are used to degrade and shame women, showing that sex work is something inherently degrading,If it were just another job, why do they use these sexist terms to dehumanize women?

alice50 Comparing prostitution to 'all professions' as if it's just another job where people sell their time and labor is missing the point entirely.** If we go by that logic, then any form of exploitation would be justified as long as there’s money exchanged. But there’s a huge difference between selling your time and skills in a profession like teaching or engineering, and selling your body in an industry that historically stems from sexism and slavery. Prostitution *isn’t* like other professions—because it exists precisely because of sexist views that commodify women’s bodies and see them as objects for male pleasure. It’s rooted in centuries of oppression, where women’s bodies were bought, sold, and traded as property. **No one becomes a doctor or an accountant because they’re pressured by poverty or coerced by someone controlling their every move.** Prostitution, however, thrives on desperation and vulnerability, and most women don’t choose it freely—they end up there due to a lack of options, abusive circumstances, or coercion. Even when it's 'consensual,' it’s often a last resort. If prostitution were just like 'any other job,' then why is it surrounded by stigma and slurs? Why do words like ‘whore’ or ‘slut’ exist to degrade women and attack their dignity? That’s because society subconsciously knows there’s something deeply dehumanizing and exploitative about it. **No one calls someone a 'dirty nurse' or a 'filthy lawyer' as an insult, but terms related to sex work are used to shame and diminish women**—because sex work has always been about sexism and control, not just a profession.Reply

ericaeroica Non tutte le donne che si prostituiscono sono schiave. Parecchie lo fanno per avere soldi facili, sono spesso sposate o fidanzate (ne conosco un gruppetto personalmente, e la "pappona" è una donna come loro!) con uomini che nn sono al corrente di queste loro attività. Quindi bisogna fare dei distinguo. Mi preoccupa molto di più lo "sdoganamento" della pedofilia sinceramente. 2 likesReply

alice50 Lady, I know how to make distinctions clearly, so you don’t have to worry about that. What you seem to be missing is that women often end up in these situations not out of choice, but out of helplessness—and because there’s a demand for it. Even in the 21st century, many people, both men and women, still view a woman’s body as something worth only a few cents. Sexism is deeply ingrained in the minds of both genders, and it’s a mindset that is not only outdated but also dangerous. Now, the fact that a woman is acting as a pimp makes the situation even worse. It’s akin to the horrific reality of a Black slave trader who profits from the suffering of other Black people. When a woman facilitates this kind of exploitation, it suggests that she sees other women as worthless beings whose bodies exist solely to satisfy male desires. This isn't just about making 'easy money'; it's about perpetuating a cycle of abuse and objectification that harms women as a whole. Let’s also talk about pedophilia—did you know that 99% of pedophiles are men? And that the majority of child exploitation material "child po==graphy" consumers and creators are also male? These aren’t random facts; they’re the outcome of a long-standing, sadistic patriarchal system. I’m not saying all men are bad—far from it—but prostitution and pedophilia are issues that primarily stem from male-driven demand, with women and children as the primary victims. In the human sex trafficking industry, most victims are women, followed by children. In fact, over 60% of pedophilia victims are young girls, while less than 40% are young boys. This isn’t just about a few ‘bad apples’; it’s a systemic problem rooted in how society views and values women and children. If we really want to tackle these issues, we have to see the bigger picture, beyond just the superficial notion of 'easy money.' We need to challenge the toxic beliefs that underpin these industries.
