Correct me if I’m wrong but are “mail order brides” just victims of human trafficking or are they like a real business?

Either way, I find the whole practice degrading.

both.

there are alot in my country. they sign up because being some foreign white mans toy is better than being a much more poor MOC’s toy. sometimes thats just what you need to do to survive and i dont blame them but rather the reasons why they cant stay afloat otherwise: lack of access to basic needs.

and sometimes women are tricked into what appear to be “mail order bride” type deals, and end up having their ID’s stolen and sold into sex slavery when they get to whatever country theyre going.

the whole thing consists of men purposely seeking out women who they deem exotic, “submissive” and w whom they barely share a language w so no need to communicate and alot less chance of being questioned. some of the buyers are decent but most are scumbags and treat their brides as such.

its based entirely on power, control and misogyny.
