Yup. I always told people—look, if the performers didn’t agree to those interviews, they wouldn’t have been contracted or paid. They had no choice but to be perky and smiles on camera. If every Wal-Mart purchase you made came with a smiling 60-second interview video of your cashier telling you how much they loved…
Isn’t it interesting how in research science, no one would be able to “choose” not to wear protective gloves or other garments necessary to performing one’s work as safely as possible? And how no one in a factory is allowed to simply choose to work without a safety harness? You could let people “choose” these things,…
Pornographers and pimps have long loved conflating the idea that prostitutes and porn performers are abused with being the same thing as “saying they should be ashamed” and being “anti sex worker.” This general line has kept the public thinking that it’s much more enlightened to take a fundamentally anti-labor…

Still holding out hope that they are Kool Moe Dee fans!

We act like (1) when people drink they should get as drunk as possible, (2) no one can control how drunk they will get, and (3) non-rape related offenses done when drunk are funny. It permeates all of our discussions of sexuality and parties. A lot of people…
Two possible contributing factors:
Women in America are taught to love mediocre white men and that’s him in a nutshell.
A few months ago, there was a really strong and strange (to me) critique of the movie Hot Girls Wanted for shining a light on an aspect of the porn industry that is very woman un-friendly. The article read to me like it was accusing the documentary producers of taking a hardline, anti-porn stand, which I don’t think…
Wat???
I truly hate when people shit all over a place just because. I have lived in every quadrant of the US except the PNW and can guarantee that each place is awesome in its own way, is full of awesome people, and has a bunch of assholes too.
Thank GOD I'm not the only one who thinks this
But the humidity Randilyn, THE HUMIDITY!
