The app for independent voices

‘Be careful what you wish for’ comes strongly to mind when looking back at the ‘pioneering’ feminists who championed the notion of ‘we can treat free sex like the men’ which fed into the decriminalisation narrative where we are all just commodifying our bodies. Only they - women - can’t because they are unable to stand up to the ‘rapacious’ quality in men that demands not just sexual ‘accessibility’ to women but imposition over them. And men - the bad ones at least - are just so much better able to impose themselves than the women. They effectively became the masters in this ‘legalised slave trade’.

As ever it comes down to power, control and inadequately investigated cui bono? And as organisations become stronger and extend their reach ever-more into our lives the individuals - men too but especially women - become prey to be exploited.

And when there is so much poverty these days (who is engineering that I sometimes wonder?) it’s difficult to see a way forward.
