This post by clownyprincess where she articulately disarms the arguments of supposed allies regarding sex work<\/a> (and the original post she wrote as well<\/a>), pretty much illustrates why I am not so fond of the concept of \u201callies\u201d in social issues. More often than not the ally (well intentioned but an outsider to the subject at hand) feels that they are better suited to speak up about a cause than the people involved in the cause themselves. Some allies tend to use their status to actually silence the voices of the people who should be the center of attention in the first place, filling the discourse with their own ideas, preconceptions and moral views.<\/p>\n
