What I need men to understand about sex workers and online grifting
They’re selling a product: none of it is real
I have to say, Mia Malkova is an absolutely brilliant business woman. She sits in a podcast dressed in a tiny skirt, too-small blouse, man’s tie, and lacy stockings, pouting and giggling, thick fake glasses and overstraightened blonde hair. The skirt is too short and she’s not wearing anything underneath. She puts on a voice that is clearly several octaves higher than her own, like a six year old girl. She uses short words, easy two clause sentences that even the most stupid man in the audience isn’t going to feel emasculated or threatened by. Unthreatening. Gentle. Stupid. Soft. “I’m just saying, she’s hot,” she giggles, as a tradwife is discussed, easily swerving any controversy from her masturbating audience over criticising neo-fascistic ideology. “I think she’s so sexy!”.
She not-so-covertly mentioned her OnlyFans several times. Everything about this is for men. Everything. And that’s smart, no matter how incredibly stupid she appears to be, no matter how the hypersexualisation makes my skin crawl: because she’s not selling to me, she’s selling OnlyFans to men. Hey, it makes her money. She’s not exploiting idiotic young men any differently to the army of Andrew Tate wannabes out there. So what’s my issue?
