Traditionally all porn models get paid for the shoot, no royalties. I'd be shocked if James Deen gets any percentage of profits on anything he's been in that he didn't produce himself.

Six Feet Under had a very realistically handled abortion. It's been a while since I've seen it but IIRC Claire discovers she's pregnant right after breaking up with her boyfriend and gets an abortion without telling him. He does later find out, but she never gets punished for it.

Assuming they don't pass new laws in the next year, sex work will be decriminalized, which is a lot closer to what's going on in Australia and New Zealand, and has been tremendously successful there.

You're giving OP wayyyy too much benefit of the doubt.

I haven't found the term "slut-shaming" to be overused.

If you click the link and read it in context he comes off a lot better. This is a section of a long and very thoughtful answer from someone who is attempting to recover from being a misogynist.

Yes, you're right. This was my thought too. Men face a lot more pressure than women to have attractive partners. A hot wife is a status symbol. Yuck.

Cool and everything, but Equality Now is a shitty shitty organization. It's pretty much the epitome of white savior feminism. See their recent challenge to the UN's new guidelines regarding the decriminalization of sex work. Ugh. Gross middle class white ladies rambling on about "commodification" and how it's better…

Yeah, the height thing isn't too surprising, but sorry dude, you just look way better with a beard than without one. And I'm guessing your beard isn't a gross scraggly one.

I'd quit coffee before being celibate for a year, without question, but:

How the hell did Genny Cream end up as 3rd worst? Shit is definitely better than that godawful Simple Times lager. My very drunky 3-person apartment took literal weeks to finish the six pack.

Acceptable for acquaintances and friends you're not that close with, but close friends deserve notice. It doesn't have to be an in-person break-up or a long list of really valid well-explained reasons, but a quick, "I don't feel like our friendship can continue, thanks for the good memories, bye," note goes a long way.

Fun secret: do the same shit that male pick-up artists do. Neg. Switch between compliments and teasing. I definitely know female sex workers who swear by The Game.

I'm shocked at how few people question that she actually did rip him off.

Anyone can get business cards. They're not expensive.

Okay, yeah, I did read that as really sarcastic. I'm glad it wasn't. Super unfair, for sure.

Because requesting more information = WAAAAAAAAH.

The thing where men get twice as many drinks a week as we do — is that actually biology?

"Pimp" doesn't really seem like the correct description here. He sounds more like the old-fashioned equivalent of what's now the phone girl. Interesting that men used to do that job. Nowadays most establishments don't have men doing any kind of work that has to do with talking to clients.

You wrote an article about escort review sites like they're a new thing and couldn't be bothered to consult a single escort.
