Sex toy companies are using the Trump win to tell women to take a break from their husbands who voted for him and use sex toys instead.

@TheBierFrau
And it's also a boost for the economy when they turn to sexworkers.

@ElpasYou_2 I mean, there was that whole thing about shutting down online porn, so...

@TheBierFrau

@TheBierFrau lol, so i guess the women that voted for him already love an*l and have no need for toys?

Quiet public

@AndyReRe one of three:

1) they've never used toys and don't know what they're missing

2) they're abuse victims

3) they're content with their position adjacent to power and don't want to threaten it

Quiet public

@TheBierFrau a woman cannot be ADJACENT to power if she DID vote for him... she would have to either be rich and powerful and greedy herself, or broken.

Quiet public

@AndyReRe I do not have the time or the willingness to educate you on this. Read up on proximity to power, in particular, how it relates to whiteness, because it's been explaining how women and minorities (this time Hispanics) make decisions against their own interests for years. It isn't a new concept.

Quiet public

@TheBierFrau not disagreeing, and I understand what you mean, seems my definition of 'adjacent' has been wrong all these years :) for some reason I've always through it mean more 'next to' as in 'equal' rather than 'near by', but in this case not equal. I'm ESL, so that's my excuse ;)

Quiet public

@TheBierFrau What are men still used for this?

Quiet public

@SamanthaJaneSmith I mean, not if you actually want to get there 😅

Seriously tho, there are a LOT of str8 men who are super threatened by toys.

Quiet public

@TheBierFrau Definitely, I am at the age where I don't care what my coworkers think and the men get scared when we talk about sex toys.

Public

@TheBierFrau @lisamelton Sure. Except White men and White women are equally responsible for the outcome.

Capitalism sure. But also, a pretty nifty way to keep complicity unchecked.

Public

@TheBierFrau No, a movement started by South Korean women as a form of protest against unequal treatment is spreading. Sex toy manufacturers are simply going along.

Quiet public

@philpetree did you just mansplain the 4B movement?

Public

@TheBierFrau After all if women do go on a sex strike there’s no reason that should include their own self pleasure.
