Sometimes I think proggles want to be victimized... that they think they deserve it.

SJW is outdated language, we're "woke" now! language evolves

Or fail to acknowledge reality. I missed this at the time:

Gavin Newsom after being attacked by a homeless man in Oakland wrote:When reporters later asked what happened, he quipped that different people have different ways of saying hello.

without looking at the thread in depth my takeaway is to allow sex workers as a legit job you can file on your tax return

Peeps is right, yes to sex work as legitimate employment, no to the assumption you are "owed" sex (incels); to market and consume sex safely and without violence (i.e. legally) is a right

by criminalising sex work, we're not stopping it happening, but we are stopping it happening safely (like abortions)

A position Burt surely agrees with, but he'd rather deliberately misinterpret her words to try and make a cheap point.

We need to start teaching kids in school how to write a tweet. Is that really the bullet point she wants her opinion boiled down to and shared globally?

.

Is she not properly defining a "right to sex" in that tweet?

"Decriminalizing sex work, funding sex education, & creating outreach programs that help young people develop healthy sexual habits."

These are not particularly controversial opinions.

alt take: The #MeToo movement brought to light a new understanding of consent that involves power (both financial and social) and legalizing sex work codifies the older patriarchal, dehumanizing structure by putting a 'market price' on people's bodily autonomy.
