Comments on: Quote: Calico on boundaries, kink, and feminism http://www.feminisnt.com/2009/quote-calico-on-boundaries-kink-and-feminism/ 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 mean, I do occasionally wonder if maybe my own masochism might stem partly from eroticizing trauma, but you know what? I don't care if it is or not; it's fun, and that's more important to me!

So Sally Hemings liaison with Thomas Jefferson is a different situation than the one Celia, a slave in MO, had with her master. He raped her repeatedly for five years. She finally ended up killing him and burning him up in her fireplace. She was hanged for the murder. There's some violence for ya.
