Her tits look wrong so she's not a feminist.

Would you raise your daughter to be a fast food worker?

All the time. I buy a lot of stuff from Forever 21 and H&M too, because it's cheap, and I think it would be pretty hypocritical of me to shop there but boycott AA. Sweatshops are worse than Dov Charney's gross bullshit, IMO.

Anti-sex trafficking organizations regularly use bad statistics without questions because it gets them donations. This has been documented repeatedly. If you must use their statistics, get the link to the actual study and read it. Some of the stuff they use is legit, but you need to take a good hard look at the…

Yo. The average age of entry is NOT 13. The study that number comes from was a survey of underage sex workers and even so, it still found that the average age of entry was 16. 13 is the average age of first sexual contact for underage sex workers.

When I worked at the dungeon, everyone knew to call out on Superbowl Sunday because shit was guaranteed to be completely fucking dead. I suspect the same applies to escort agencies, massage, parlors, etc. I can see strippers doing pretty well, but I'm not sure about that.

Also, Snopes, Reason, and HuffPo.

Because it's BS and has been thoroughly debunked.

Really really not true, in my experience as a sex worker. Wanting to pay someone for sex doesn't translate into being okay with raping them.

I thought this had been pretty thoroughly disproven already?

A by-the-hour escort would charge her rate x number of guys x number of hours. Lower end is $200/hr. 8 to 10 guys would work out to at least $1600 per hour. It's the sort of situation that would be super obnoxious and require a lot of hard work and probably security on hand, so the escort would be disinclined to cut…

Any escort who would actually do this would charge her rate x number of guys there x number of hours. Or possibly she'd charge by the act. Even low low low end would still end up requiring wayyyyyy more than $250.

In the book Esmerelda turned out to have been stolen as a child from respectable French white people. At least they didn't include that part.

Obsessive fans are nothing new.

Yeah. I moved to Bushwick four years ago because I found a place I could afford with people I like. I would have much rather lived in Williamsburg or lower Manhattan. I still live in that apartment and my rent has increased quite a bit since I first moved in, but it's still pretty cheap. If I wanted to move to a…

A bit more than a year ago I went down to Florida to visit a close friend of mine and escape the NYC winter. We spent a week drinking ourselves stupid and smoking lots of pot. It was awesome.

I hope you at least tipped her.

I love a lot of nerdy shit — sci fi, fantasy, science, etc — but have never felt particularly drawn to geeky subculture, in part because so many of the dudes are awkward misogynists.

She wanted to write a rom com so she wrote a rom com. It wouldn't have worked if the character was in an established relationship. And in the short film she ends up dating the impregnator so the sex isn't really a BIG MISTAKE.

1) I have no idea if he's a feminist or not and I don't know much about his politics in general. I also don't care much about them.
