Where did I say it was empowering? Where in my comment? I do not see it. Were you trying to answer someone else's comment? Because that is how much your comment relates to mine.

If you pay attention to the sex workers rights movement and not just the stuff mainstream blogs like Jez decide to print, you'll find that's not true.

You've never been a sex worker, have you?

Because prostitutes are disgusting and it's very important that you don't have to be associated with them in anyway.

That's bad? She always wanted to be a writer, she used her experience stripping to get there, and she's done plenty since entirely unrelated to stripping.

"Hey, stigmatized group! I'm not one of you but I have just as much authority on your experience as you do! I'm a FEMINIST!"

I'm not saying all sex work is good. I am saying that feminist theory is fine and occasionally valuable but your comments still come off as shitty and condescending.

You've invoked one of my least favorite arguments. Least favorite because well duh, nothing happens in a vacuum. Neither do your opinions. We live in a society that tells us:

What a gross way to talk about sex workers.

She originally got famous by blogging about stripping. I think she got Diablo Cody after from a naming contest she held among her readers. I don't think she even used it as a stripper name until she'd been writing under it for a while. Of course she still uses it. It's a memorable name, and name-changes are not…

Perhaps because people ask her about it a lot.

So women don't get to do things because other people throughout history have tried to stop women from doing things. Okay.

If your kid is looking at porn, put a filter on the computer and keep a close eye on their use. If you think firing an ex-porn star teacher will stop your kid from looking at porn, you're just too lazy to bother.

Maybe the parents should actually parent and make sure their 12 year olds aren't watching pornography?

Everywhere that's been tried it's lead to disastrous consequences for the sex workers.

He must have read the best-selling self-help book "How to Make a Woman Who Totally Wants to Sleep With You Change Her Mind Immediately."

He didn't break out the douche until he was already in her apartment. It sounds like she invited him up planning to have sex but changed her mind because he uttered repulsive things.

Somewhat relevant anecdote:
