    I don't know where I said being a porn star isn't stigmatized. They're not mutually exclusive.

    Just because there is a higher frequency of single mothers than porn stars in society does not reduce the stigma of being a single mother. You're not going to hear of a teacher being fired because she is a single mother, but that teacher is being paid less because she is a woman. Women are valued based on their

    I don't know the specifics of her contract, if she has a good lawyer (crossing my fingers it wasn't that weird guy from Teen Mom) she will get residual payments from it. But Farrah claims it was 7 figures, tmz.com says she got paid close to $1 million, and I've seen other sources say it's more like $1.5 million. I

    But ancient times were just so right.

    I don't know for sure, I had just heard they weren't planning on renewing that season anyway. I think it's considered a huge issue for her because we expect it to be because it's porn, but she's made around $2 million from this (the tape and the resulting attention and endorsement deal), plus she went on Dr. Phil,

    Yes, they're his offspring until the woman forced him into marriage - then they become her offspring. Which is super interesting. So, when men supposedly ran around making babies with all different mothers, they were all his babies because he's the only common denominator between them all. I guess marriage is really

    I guess I see teen pregnancy and being a single mom as just as stigmatizing. It's still completely about sexuality and sex shaming, and is handled as a moral issue. A commenter on another article mentioned how their abstinence-only education involved comparing women who have sex to chewed up bubblegum. That's teen

    Yeah, that's really just her personality. Or rather, she talks just like you'd expect a teenager to talk. She's just not really a teen anymore, that's all.

    If it was just about money why would she regret it? It's brought her a whole lot more fame and money than MTV. And the MTV gig was all about how she had underage sex and made a baby. Her sex life wasn't filmed, but it was definitely open to public discussion.

    I don't think so (?), she just got a huge endorsement deal for some health weight loss product. I thought the MTV show was ending anyway? As far as I can tell this is working a whole lot better for her than anything else she has tried.

    I definitely think it's a scheme to stay relevant and make money, but I am under the impression she hired James Deen and made this all happen. If not, then damn that PR scheme went REALLY well. If she was hired as just an actress in the porno, then Vivid or whoever producing it made the whole story up. The sex tape

    Oh easy, there's no evolution. Done. ;)

    His essay is verrrryyyyy long and he brings in many texts. It's like pseudo intellectual bullshit. "I bring up this book, my point is now made and supported, right?" I mean the big red flag is men are naturally polygamist, but women are not? Why is that, Eric, is it because women are so chaste?

    Haha yes, and I agree. I couldn't believe it existed, but I was so tempted by his essay on feminism. It's a gold mine of utter bullshit. Much like Dr. Unicorn.

    This is why I read Jezebel. I love everything about this article.

    And I am seriously disappointed that even the readers here are quick to insult and dismiss her. She's essentially playing the patriarchy, so what's with the outrage? This is coming from someone who has never really liked Farrah from MTV, I think she's always appeared selfish and immature, but whatever. I can still

    Farrah can make money how she wants. We're ignoring the fact that girlfriend produced her own porn. She was in control of who else starred in it, how it was edited, who sold and who bought it. She executed this perfectly. Farrah made a million dollars controlling her own production in an industry run by men, and an

    Whoa whoa whoa we were the same teenager. I look forward to reading your xanga.

    We're talking about Dracula the movie, right? Because the book was just about raping women to show them who's boss (hint: it's Braaaaam!).

    When I was about 16 I found a golf-ball sized lump in my left breast. I honestly don't know if I had a core biopsy, but I remember the doctor numbed my breast with a topical cream and poked it with a hollow needle. I vaguely remember wearing a bandage over the area and my breast being tender with a yellow bruise. That
