The whole sex worker thing is so insane- and displays a very discomfiting mindset about sexuality in general and dark skinned women’s sexuality in particular.

Thank you. I feel the same way.. I don’t think the attention is coming from a good place. Many think bc ur a dark American you’re a slut. Or they fetishize you bc of your exotic looks. But mostly I think they have warped notions of what women of color will do sexually. Either way you’re an object to them not a person.…

I’ve had a similar (obviously not identical, but it’s how I can identify) experience as a fat woman. In day-to-day life, I might as well be invisible to men sometimes. When I travel, it’s almost like I’m exotic and low-risk because I only exist temporarily to them, and the aggression that results can be…

I hear ya.

Thank you, this is a way better way of expressing my dubiousness over the situation

This is a well-written, thought-provoking article.

Alledged assault notwithstanding, how did they not get fired for ten hours of getting drunk with a victim they were supposedly there to “protect and serve?”

jesus yes for fuck’s sake you can hand your baby to a police station or fire station NO QUESTIONS ASKED. There is no reason to do this or leave them in the cold somewhere. I feel compassion for the desperation she must have felt, but I feel much more compassion for the innocent little baby who now has a difficult road…

I know this is unhelpful (and she was probably under mental stress or illness) but you can always leave your baby in the hospital if you don’t want it. All she had to do was wait three months.

Tell us more about how Muslims want to enslave women, old white men.

I don’t know if I believe that you can be a “feminist” and star in porn. I am sure there are women who enjoy it and are in charge of their own careers but the industry as a whole is exploitative. That college girl who was outed said she was empowered and a feminist and I saw her movie and she was fucked up the butt…

Lux actually described Deen’s actions towards her as assault, not rape.

You know who would never label himself a feminist? My dad. He is in his late 60s and says all kinds of sexist shit all the time. Not maliciously but like a guy who has never had to think too hard about his own privilege. Here’s another story about my dad. When I was like ten or so we were watching a van Damme movie…

Why give them credit for something they should’ve already been doing? I would probably be considered a feminist, but to me, a white male, it’s just “not being an asshole.”

If I hear anyone make a claim like they are bragging about something they do that any decent person would do without thinking about it I usually call bullshit. Like when I hear parents say, “I take care of my kids!” Like it is a badge of honor and they should be rewarded, I feel that those kids probably have went to…

These weren't kink videos though. They were your run of the mill scenes. I think that's where they were playing at.

This site and Gawker’s boner for James Deen a while ago made me so uncomfortable. There have been stories of him crossing the line with porn stars for a while now, while everybody tried to make him happen as a mainstream actor, a feminist man, and a fantastic lover that every woman wishes she could have. Fuck that, he…

Um...have you ever watched any of his interviews? Or movies? He comes across as having narcissistic personality disorder. I guess if you’re cute it doesn’t matter, though.

That’s one the reasons I’m glad Stoya spoke out about this particular incident. An individual consenting to a BDSM relationship doesn’t mean her or she has consented all possible sexual interactions.
