It makes me sick to my stomach that we have to explain this so thoroughly.
Even sicker that you don’t have to use a grand amount for the metaphor, not $1000, not even $20. Men can understand the store of value of $5 more than they can understand the concept of women as humans.
I think what’s saddest about the whole thing is that it always has to be a metaphor about an object for them to get it. Like the classic comparison to someone getting robbed because they were dressed rich so they were asking for it.
The only understand when women are compared to objects because that’s what they see is as.
Like sure it’s pretty amusing that Hentai Alt-Righter Tumblr is probably fuming about this and melting down about it, but I think I’m just gonna unfollow you if you are going to seriously discourse that the only reason anybody could be upset about this is that they “just want to be horny on tumblr” and just totally brush aside the fact that sex workers are gonna get run off the site and that the last time tumblr did ANY mass tagging of NSFW content it basically decided “lesbian” and “trans” exclusively were porn categories. Pissing off horny fascist weirdos who will just go back to 4chan has very little value to me if the price is completely fucking over sex workers.
