Why do some feminists call OnlyFans empowerment but condemn objectification?

[Anonymous]

I’ve heard feminists say OF is sexual freedom.

It’s a mixed bag, honestly. The reason women are even able to find power in sex work is because how long men have objectified women.
Up until a century or so ago, depending on where you live, the western world classified women legally as property rather than people, so it was a very real and palpable form of objectification. Simultaneously, sex has been the easiest way for women to gain power in a world that refused to acknowledge them as human, that’s why sex work is one of, if not THE oldest job in the world if we’re talking about exchanging goods and services for money.
Sex work exists because of that objectification, and there will be those who call for its end and I can see the argument, especially when the most searched word on porn sites is “teen.” At the same time, I don’t think it’s going to leave even if the world truly did become egalitarian or a matriarchy just because of how prevalent sex is to one’s day-to-day life.

The problem isn't objectification, it's objectification without consent. Some women like myself enjoy being objectified. We don't enjoy being cat called, getting dick picks, hearing lewd comments without consent. Onlyfans creates a space where women can consent to that kind of thing in a safe space. I genuinely don't understand why this is such a hard concept for some men to understand.

I should also mention there are some Feminists who don't think Onlyfans is empowering.

Feminist movement isn't logical. It was pushed to have more people to work, spend, tax and break apart families so the government can program people better in school etc.

They're not the sharpest tools in the shed.

I'm talking big brain takes like Queers for Palastine.

Crazy. It's almost as if not all women think the same
