Really well done piece. I enjoy how clearly you state that the so called progressives are down with exploitation if it doesn't involve them directly.

Yikes. This reminds me of how corporate social governance has gone from being green, something that could really have a positive impact, to pronouns, which isn't really going to have any impact on anything. The fine line between not being ashamed of the body you've got and choices you make, and exploitation, doesn't seem all that fine to me. We're likely always going to have prostitution and porn, I don't see that cat going back in the bag, but this cheering on of women who are largely doing this out of desperation or because they are forced is only making things worse. It seems to me as if I was doing meth every single day and my friends and family were like "That's amazing! Don't let them tell you you can't do meth just because it's illegal!"

Maybe this is too out on a limb, but it seems like we are blinding challenging norms just because they are there.

Modern feminists tend to, in my experience, have come from repressive, Christian backgrounds and so their politics resemble teenage rebellion: all 'sex' is good sex/don't tell me what to do, mom! It's very immature and thoughtless. They also tend all to be middle and upper class, which obviously doesn't help.

This actually puts a lot of things in context for me. It’s very helpful to sort of understand why someone may be doing the things they do, so thank you Meghan!

Indeed, libertinism and puritanism are essentially two sides of the same coin. Pendulum Theory meets Horseshoe Theory, in other words.

Another well written article about exploitation the elites and ethical chioces.

I've shared Samantha Browns interview with James English ( a Scotsman lol ) which is harrowing. She was groomed by an older woman and experienced drug eddiction, prostitution, pornography and satanic cults.

It was another older woman who helped her escape.

These elite satanic families are real.

As you say Megan our guts, instinct give us the warning signs when we consciously feel it.

The more we join in a collective voice regarding ethics, caring for minors and making a safer world for our children we will have and get ethical transparent world leaders.

Who dares wins 🗝️🧬☘️✌️💜
