Hmm.

Yeah, and that's her niche in these circles.

At one point, she talks about throwing a naked party and says people only talked about global trade, which is, you know, all to say, like, I don't want to hang out with her.

I wouldn't want to hang out with her.

Yes, the OnlyFans comes a bit later...

But she's doing different kinds of sex work and she's carving out this lane that I think is like rewarding her for being more and more reactionary.

For example, during the Me Too movement, Ayla wrote on her sub stack, knowing less.

And she writes, the world is not safe for us, seems to be the message.

I felt weird and confused because I've never felt this despite having been a sex worker.

How is it that everyone's getting abused around me and I'm left untouched and ignorant to this?

That's an episode of Always Sunny in Philadelphia, by the way.

That's like an entire plot line with Mac and his gym teacher.

But then I remembered I actually was a victim of sexual assault.

There were many instances in my life that might qualify.

I was molested as a child, stalked and chased in deserted streets, groped at a party, forced into a handjob despite clearly and repeatedly saying no.

The forced sexual contact was really annoying and uncomfortable, but I wasn't afraid they would hurt me.

But with the Me Too campaign, I felt a pressure to view the things that happened to me as part of this systemic abuse narrative.

Please realize I'm not necessarily making an argument against the Me Too campaign.

It's very possible that the benefits are greater than this cost.

I don't know if Me Too is a net benefit or not, but I see nobody discussing the potential downsides and I feel a cultural pressure not to.
