Comments on: Quick thoughts on my new project http://www.feminisnt.com/2009/quick-thoughts-on-my-new-project/ I'm an atheist who has been a full time pornographer and sex worker for almost 10 years. I'm also a former "sex-positive feminist" who tired of trying to shoehorn my life into a useless ideology like a pair of ill-fitting high heels. I oppose the feminist doctrine that women are inherently feeble victims, brainwashed by "the patriarchy," and in need of someone to protect and guide us. I operate SWAAY.org, the only American sex workers' rights project aimed solely at public outreach and education. My politics are extremely socially permissive, but mixed on fiscal matters, and I don't identify with any one political party or label. My philosophy is informed primarily by Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse: "I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice."

I've known a few workers in the sex industry, mostly back when they were college lasses doing the stripper thing for a buck. And it was always interesting to see the contrast between the highly intelligent, interesting, motivated women I knew and the shallow-end bottom-feeders that ran the clubs and so forth. (Not to even bother mentioning the clientele...) So even the idea that someone could be approaching the industry from the standpoint of intelligence and reasonable ethics is -- absolutely fascinating. I wish you all the very best with your ventures, and I'll be keeping an eye on this blog simply out of ongoing curiosity. It would be marvellous to think that someone could really turn a buck on smart, ethical behaviour inside porn.
