Can you be a Feminist and have an OnlyFans profile…

So, what is OnlyFans?  Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know the creators are mostly women, the content is mostly risque (at best), and the usual subscription price is about $10.99 on average.  The popularity of OnlyFans is skyrocketing and women are making a ton of money on this platform.  Why?  Because a vast majority of the “content” is nude, compromising, and in many cases there are live or recorded sex acts.

The author (link above) tries so hard to sound professional and eloquent.  Expounding a woman’s right to choose, have body autonomy, to be equal, and be a model.  However, if we peel the onion back, she is simply stating she’s a feminist, supports women’s rights, and wants to do pornography.  There is no modeling on OnlyFans.  This is like a Vegan that eats meat, and if a Vegan eats meat, they’re not a Vegan.

Is OnlyFans truly pornography?

Why did I use the term pornography.  Because dictionaries use the same several definitions with a common theme; pornography is basically anything that causes sexual excitement.  As Justice Potter Stewart once said, “I know it when I see it.”

Women have the right to do whatever they want.  They have the right to exercise their free will, just as men do.  However, the Feminist movement which began in the early 1900’s was about equal rights, equal opportunity, voting rights, etc… which then grew through several stages into the #MeToo movement, which centered on removing the over-sexualization of women, women having to perform sex acts and being degraded to get ahead in a professional environment.  Somehow, that grew into women working from home, hyper-sexualizing themselves, and performing sex acts at home, albeit for more money.

It boils down to this.  Women fought for 100 years to stop being sexualized to get ahead in their careers and life.  They won that battle.  Now, women are allowing themselves to be sexualized and perform sex acts at home, because the money is really, really good?

This brings me to an old Sir Winston Churchill Joke (I’ve shortened it):

Churchill: “Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?”

Socialite: “My goodness, Mr. Churchill… Well, I suppose… we would have to discuss terms, of course… ”

Churchill: “Excellent.  Would you sleep with me for five pounds?”

Socialite: “Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!”

Churchill: “Madam, we’ve already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.”

The author, as well as all women with OnlyFans accounts, can wrap themselves in the fabric of Women’s Rights all they want.  However we’ve already established what kind of women they are.  It’s not about morals or equivalency anymore, it’s about price.
