I agree with everything you're saying. I think the most important thing to consider is that the state bar committee is trying to look out for their best interests, and it might not be in their best interest to admit a person with a highly sensational reputation who could harm their credibility. It's not as simple as…

I guess I would be surprised if an examining committee explicitly asked about work in the sex industry, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if they made a fuss under the general umbrella of 'moral character.' If they're not going to clearly define what constitutes morality, I would assume the examiner's opinion would…
Well then please by all means look into who makes Facial Abuse (the same person who openly makes fun of the women in front of their faces).
Facial Abuse is pretty close to the bottom of barrel when it comes to porn sites. The producers/cameramen openly mock and make fun of the women in the videos. I wouldn't call it "rape-fantasy" per se, but its very premise is to degrade women.
That's great for you. Considering the mess that is FL's legal system, I'm glad that they're not spending too much time and effort trying to sniff out former sex workers. I don't know anything about the Florida admissions process, but in NY, the state bar has a catch all question regarding (paraphrasing) any conduct…
For someone who says school first, it's funny how she spends more time on the media blitz rather than school
"Why would I want to work for anybody who would discriminate against somebody who is [working in a] perfectly legal, regulated profession?" she answered
I hate to say this, because I don't see anything incompatible with working in the porn industry and then going on to be a civil rights attorney, but law is a deeply conservative industry and, before you get licensed, you have to pass the character and fitness exam. I feel like this might throw red flags on her…
There is a reason teachers are not permitted to take students off campus alone and in their cars. It's a huge liability and safety issue for the students. Also that teacher had no medical background to assist the student if her situation worsened in the car. And everyone seems to be missing the point that she left…
GreyjoysMissingMember said it, but I'll reiterate it. I've done a fair bit of modeling in my youth, and I don't and never did believe there is any such thing as a "perfect woman." I read Emma Watson's comments in that sense—women are so often displayed as this ideal, perfect archetype rather than real people. I too am…
I absolutely refuse to play the no-sleep game. Maybe I'm just more prone to total ineffectiveness when I'm tired or something, but I absolutely do not regard sleep and self-care as luxuries that should or even can be sacrificed in any kind of long-term capacity. That Audre Lorde quote resonates with me so, so much:
The thing about Lohan is that she seems like a really nasty person. Her narcissism is beyond help.
To be honest, my comment *was* me researching, to the absolute best of my ability, what you meant by your statement. Unless you've written a book for me to read or unless you've made essays or papers of yours public (I would be very interested in either; you're obviously knowledgeable and articulate), probing your…
Holy shit, the comments on this article.
I get that people are tired about the glut of "ermagerd brown countries are so scary" articles in the media landscape since the beginning of time. But it seems that the author actually did her due diligence - talking with the women and quoting them, getting multiple perspectives, and actually NOT making a blanket…
Is it alright for WaterAid Nepal to collect data and report on sanitation and menstruation internally and/or among government agencies and NGOs, so long as they or journalists with them never compose pieces intended for the general audience? Or they can so long as it is a Nepali woman journalist writing the piece? Or…
YES.

Uh, no, not really. I think it actually illustrates a big part of WHY I don't like porn — think through the implications of this statement in terms of the intersectionality of gender, class, and power here.
