I only recently started washing my legs. It wasn’t a super deliberate change-- I just started using exfoliating gloves and I figured I might as well pour some soap on them while I’m at it. The point about soap drying out your skin is actually making me rethink that, though.

The fact that a former sex worker has a nice life post-sex work and has some fairly nuanced thoughts about the way that sex work affected her and has been able to get those thoughts published =/= SEX WORK IS TOTALLY EMPOWERFUL, OMG.

Serious question: did you even read the article?

My favorite/least favorite example of cops using facebook was the time they claimed to have saved a bunch of sex trafficking victims in the same post where they published the mugshots of the women in question.

Depends on your tits. I have DDs and hate bras and I wear a lot of tight tops because they give enough support that my tits aren’t flopping all over the place. But yeah, I can see how that wouldn’t work for all body types or all tit types.

People here are so much nastier to Lindsay Lohan than they are to every other celebrity abuse survivor.

My mother’s maiden name — which she never changed — is sometimes used as an alternative spelling of a fairly common male name. I have my dad’s last name, and if I’d been a boy her last name would have become my first name.

If you understand that women can be sexual and that sex work is legitimate labor then porn doesn’t really run counter to respect for women.

I have a chair in my bedroom because there’s no room for it anywhere else in my apartment and my roommate refuses to throw it out because Parker Posey once posed in it for a photoshoot at a bar he used to work at. It’s in even worse condition now than it was in the picture.

They’re a thing in some Hindu families too.

Because you were focusing on her usage of the term “my” in a comment thread responding to a comment that entirely focuses on her usage of the term “my.” And now you are being very strangely combative, so I’m not particularly interested in continuing this conversation.

It makes sense for her to refer to it as “her” SlutWalk, since she organized and financed it. English uses the term “my” in a lot of ways that don’t necessarily imply ownership and I think you’re reading a bit too much into her use of it. I might refer to “my doctor” or “my waiter” but I don’t think I own those…

She never claimed to have invented the concept. And frankly, the original Slut Walk creators should be grateful. Slut Walk had completed faded from relevance for a couple years and in its heyday received a lot of legitimate criticism over intersectionality fails. So Amber Rose brought it back and made it way less…

A lot of famous white men, too, but no one gives them half as much shit for it.

Given the wild amount of slut-shaming she’s received in the time she’s spent in the public eye, you might not want to declare the issue over and done with just yet.

Yeah, this is a big part of why prostitution needs to be decriminalized. Cops love raping sex workers of all ages, and it’s really, really easy for them to get away with it.

Over the last few years I’ve met more and more people who use they pronouns. It sounds a little weird at first but now I’m totally used to it and would find switching to a new singular pronoun far weirder and more difficult. People have been using “they” as a singular in informal speech for a really, really long time…

That’s not even slightly believable. If it were possible to schedule that many clients into back-to-back quickie sessions by charging very low rates, lots of sex workers, even the ones who aren’t pimped out or super desperate, would do it on a less extreme scale and still make a lot of money. They don’t, because…

100 men a day! Please tell me where the business is that good so I can go there! Even the lower-end Australian brothels have been pretty slow the last few years.

Regular reminder that I feel the need to post every time Jez writes about sex work:
