From personal experience, here are 5 WAYS that heroin addicted women are disadvantaged compared to men:1.  Women make $0.77 for every $1 that men make so they can’t afford their habit as well as men.2.  Women are more likely than men to turn to the sex trade to pay for their drug and avoid withdrawal.3.  Heroin addicted women are extra susceptible to the rape culture because they are around bad men (there all bad).4.  Heroin addicted women who choose to be sex workers to pay for their addiction are called “dope hoes” because of slut shaming.5.  Heroin addicted trans-women are extra disadvantaged because even if they’re willing to turn to sex-work, they often can’t find “tricks” who are interested and have to suffer excruciating withdrawals.

“5 Ways Male Heroin Addicts are PRIVILIGED Compared to Women”

As a recovering heroin addict and a Feminist, I can tell you that the long tendrils of oppression do not leave the drug world out of their reach. Drug addiction is tough, but men are privileged in these avenues as well. From personal experience, here are 5 WAYS that heroin addicted women are disadvantaged compared to men:

1.  Women make $0.77 for every $1 that men make so they can’t afford their habit as well as men.

2.  Women are more likely than men to turn to the sex trade to pay for their drug and avoid withdrawal.

3.  Heroin addicted women are extra susceptible to the rape culture because they are around bad men (there all bad).

4.  Heroin addicted women who choose to be sex workers to pay for their addiction are called “dope hoes” because of slut shaming.

5.  Heroin addicted trans-women are extra disadvantaged because even if they’re willing to turn to sex-work, they often can’t find “tricks” who are interested and have to suffer excruciating withdrawals.
