No, it's not "humanism" because Humanism is an actual thing that already exists, which you cannot re-define just because you don't like feminism and think it's a better-sounding word. I assume you mean "humanism" to mean that you're in favor of the equality of all humans — but that is contradictory because your…

What you're describing is not even tangentially related to feminism. Feminism is a political movement that advocates for the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. It's such a simple concept and definition that it's in a damn Beyonce song. If you can't admit that social, political, and economic…

Humanism is actually a totally different thing, pal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanism

Again, I am aware of what slut-shaming is and how it works. You are not telling me anything new. What I am trying to make clear to you is that the sexual dynamics that exists in strip clubs, in porn, don't exist in a vacuum. Those sexual dynamics bleed into life outside of the strip club or the porn movie; they are,…

Porn has been around since human beings figured out how to etch pictures on cave walls. Pornography has been filmed since the invention of the camera. Internet porn is just the modern incarnation of a system of entitlement and rape culture that has existed for ages. I'm really not sure why you have this mental…

If you don't see it as a problem, you aren't paying close enough attention, or just aren't willing to be critical of things you enjoy. Are you seriously unable to see how a multimillion dollar industry devoted to making women's bodies available, on demand, to men might contribute to our sexist society? I don't know…

I'm aware of what slut-shaming is. Slut-shaming is not the issue that makes stripping problematic from a feminist standpoint. Of course strippers are people. But an industry being comprised of actual human employees does not mean that the industry is beyond reproach and might be detrimental to a particular demographic…

So, when it comes to Bell Knox, part of the problem is that Jezebel and other outlets that take a distinctly pro-porn stance give white, privileged sex workers who have the luxury of choice the spotlight while insisting that the countless nameless, faceless sex workers who are working under violent pimps, trafficked…

Wait, so the problem isn't the fact that women's bodies have been treated as commodities and objects for men to use and abuse and ogle at will, or the fact that stripping contributes to the cultural attitude that men are entitled to women's bodies, it's slut-shaming? Way to miss the forest for the trees.

Women don't exist in a vacuum. Women surely enjoy porn that abuses and objectifies women; women also exist in a culture that loves to abuse and objectify them; many women's sexual experiences in this culture are inexorably tangled up with the experience of being abused and objectified. This is Women's Studies 101…

I'm actually neutral about Nev Shulman. You seem really riled up about him though. Your evidence of his rampant homophobia and transphobia is one poorly written XOJane blog you keep posting over and over again. It's fine that you don't like him. But you're acting as though the people who appear on his show are pitiful…

Did you? Because for all your bluster about how evil and manipulative Nev is for exploiting the people on this show, you yourself linked to an article with several paragraphs about how PRODUCERS map out the show, Nev is mostly in the dark, and everyone is a willing participant who consented to be filmed. And there is…

Because it was like 1 or 2 episodes that made it to air. We're talking about the show, yes? Not unaired correspondence that MTV receives?

A few tips from someone who has had many unsuccessful interventions (some of which made me cry):

It's happened on like 1 or 2 episodes. I'm sure more requests come in. But... again, have you ever actually watched the show?

My point is that the relationships aren't idyllic or happy in most situations; people request to be on the show because they suspect they are being lied to. Yes, it's a reality television show and he gets a paycheck. This is a neutral fact. It's not as if most people on the show haven't signed waivers and consented to…

The show literally begins with Nev & Max reading emails from people who want them to look into their online relationship. The contact is initiated by the person who suspects they are being catfished. Have you ever actually watched the show?

Nev seeks to solve problems by exacerbating them. He makes people with perfectly happy online relationships meet in person to prove their worth. In Nev's world there is always a liar and, like it or not, he will find them.

Jezebel's grapes are just sour because she made fun of you on her show that one time. (And it was funny.)

Wtf is happening here? Is this a large, weird nose ring or is she suffering from some horrific naso-labial fungus?
