“Can someone explain to me like I’m 5 why a woman [Sydney Sweeney] monetizing her sexualization is all of a sudden ‘setting women back hundreds of years’ according to the very feminists who insist sex work is real work and that women should be able to profit from pornographic content on Only Fans? Was it all bad all along after all?” —Isabel Brown
