    i find it much more oppressive when someone tells folks what they can and can't do (porn) with their bodies. for fun or money or whatever the hell they like.

    as someone who has been in and around the sexwork industry including the porn side of things, i find this type of attitude to be pretty awful. i would rather deal with 100 consumers 'treating me like meat' than with one self-righteous bigot telling me i don't know my own worth because of the choices i make.

    but that's just my $.02.

    other than that, she has some cute t-shirts.

      ah yes -

      porn is a hot topic - pun intended.

      i know a women who got into porn in order to make ends meet. she was of age and fully consented. sadly, there are so many others, a lot of girls - children to be specific, who were not provided any choice in the matter whatsoever.

      i do find the sites spin on porn to be on the rough side - but i still found it an excellent resource, which is why i posted it.

      i myself would rather deal with the one bigot as it would be easier for me to simply walk away. 100 consumers 'treating me like meat' would be more difficult to escape from - both literally and emotionally.

      some women get involved in the porn industry as a means to fight oppression - it is my opinion these women are a minority. but then, you know what they say about opinions.

      yes, i dig her shirts too.
