http://www.feminisnt.com/2009/feminism-is-the-shitty-relationship-you-had-in-your-early-20s/ I'm an atheist who has been a full-time pornographer and sex worker for 10 years, but I'm now transitioning out of the jizz biz into a science career. In my silly younger days, I was a "sex-positive feminist," but I grew up and stopped trying to shoehorn myself into a useless ideology like a pair of ill-fitting high heels. I oppose the core feminist beliefs that women are inherently feeble victims, brainwashed by "the patriarchy," and that we can't succeed in life unless we're treated like babies and exempted from fair competition. I operate SWAAY.org, the only sex workers' rights project aimed solely at public outreach and education. My philosophy is informed primarily by Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse: "I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice." Schadenfreude is my spirit animal.

I never put the two together before, but my relationship with my ex-girlfriend DOES parallel my experiences in feminism. One of the big issues that caused her to dump me was that I wasn't radical enough for her (meaning I started shaving my pits and legs again), and as far as she's concerned, the individual she is in a relationship with is secondary to what kind of political statement the relationship could make. Gee, that sounds very familiar...
