The interesting thing about a lot of porn performers who claim "empowerment" from the work is that they'd probably also be categorized as somatic narcissists. I say this as someone who used to work in the industry. I know people want to think that all performers are happy, healthy individuals, but this is not the…

What? From what I've learned commodification of the female body is the new "sexual empowerment." So how could "writhing on the floor with your ass in the air on national tv" not be progress for women. She gets paid a lot ergo it is good for her and her spirit.

I'm sure the writers have their reasons, but I'm curious as to why the first black character they introduce is a man and not a woman. Every black woman I know watches this show and we daydream about what it would be like to be in on the fantasy, finally a black character, but it's a dude.
