It’s time to take on the $99 billion sex trade industry. It’s time to end the #WorldsOldestOppression

Call it what it is: The sex trade is the worlds oldest form of oppression NOT the worlds oldest profession.

How does reinforcing colonial systems of oppression lead us to liberation? Spoiler: It doesn't. Get on the right side of history. #WorldsOldestOppression CNN Original Series af3irm.org/af3irm/2021/10…

White supremacist and imperialism’s poet Rudyard Kipling coined the term “Prostitution is the world’s oldest profession” (1909). Reinforcing colonial systems of oppression like the sex trade leads to more exploitation, not liberation. #WorldsOldestOPPRESSION

WOW. The white guy who coined the phrase “prostitution is the oldest profession” also said “Filipinos are half devil and half child.” He wrote women’s sole purpose in life is motherhood too. His other racist classics: The Jungle Book, Heart of Darkness & The White Man’s Burden.

I can’t believe CNN Original Series lisaling and other journalists in 2021 are still repeating this man’s phrase, which has no historical basis. Obviously midwifery, weaving, toolmaking, & gathering were women’s earliest professions. This ‘boys will be boys’ catchphrase needs to die.

*Heart of Darkness was Conrad. They were contemporaries but different racist white man, even though many white folks don’t read that text as racist, it’s hated by many because depicts Africa as….the heart of darkened.

AF3IRM Los Angeles ofrenda honors women who have been victims of femicide. This altar honors the grief of those affected by gender-based violence.

CNN CNN Original Series lisaling Alison Rudnick It’s been one week. You’ve ignored our demands for a correction and equal time for the majority of those in the sex trade who live under constant threat of physical and sexual abuse. #WorldsOldestOPPRESSION #SurvivorsNotCriminals

CNN Original Series What the lisaling segment presented as ‘empowerment’ and ‘agency’ is actually the continued male privilege of sexual access to mostly women and girls’ bodies who are disproportionately young, poor, powerless, and from communities of color. #WorldsOldestOPPRESSION

CNN CNN Original Series lisaling Alison Rudnick End the glamorizing of prostitution, which is an exploitative $99 billion industry that profiteers on the coercion and commodification of women. We demand a correction and equal time. #WorldsOldestOPPRESSION bit.ly/AF3IRM

Rittenhouse is a product of militarized patriarchy where white boys are raised under toxic racist, imperialist standards- he was essentially given a passport to kill. He killed. He felt entitled to. How many Rittenhouses are being raised by Amerikkka? #RittenhouseGuiltyAF
