Comments on: Quote: Belle de Jour on why she's not a feminist http://www.feminisnt.com/2009/quote-belle-de-jour-on-why-shes-not-a-feminist/ 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."

But I went to school with at least three of your VegPorn models so maybe I'm from a special place where feminism means something different that what it means in London.

Sometimes, people need to yell in order to be heard over the drivel of the unthinking or the unaware. I hadn't seen this writer before, but I'm following her now. -arvan Thanks for this.
