Feminist Dinosaur

I've come to understand that radical feminism is considered to be an outdated, old-fashioned movement that has no relevance to today. The patriarchy would say that, wouldn't it?

TEN REASONS WHY WOMEN SHOULD NOT BE PEDDLED LIKE ANIMALS
women are sovereign human beings who are entitled to dignity and safety
public posting of naked female bodies “for sale” means that the entire public - including young girls and boys - are exposed to the idea that trading in female flesh is acceptable and normal
peddling female flesh in general reinforces the concept that it is normal and acceptable to buy and sell human beings
women who are in the sex trade are overwhelmingly trafficked women, have drug or alcohol problems, are undereducated or underemployed
normalization of peddling female flash infers that a young woman can always fall back on sex work and has no other excuse to be poor
promotes a hostile, aggressive, and degrading (not to mention heteronormative) view of human sexuality
promotes an unhealthy view of women’s bodies to men, women and children 
inoculates young girls and women to the idea that they are commodities to be traded on the market
promotes violence against women 
is in itself violence against women - every daughter, sister or mother you see plastered as meat in public is unwanted and unwarranted.. the same as common street harassment
