Comments on: Review: The Government vs. Erotica by Philip D Harvey http://www.feminisnt.com/2009/review-the-government-vs-erotica/ 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."

Wow, Susie Bright reads my little blog. I'll be writing a bit about the Sex Worker Film Festival soon- I've been out of town for two weeks and still dealing with a big backlog of other things.

If there was a membership, I'd sign up. I guess I can at least save up to send you that ice cream machine. I want one of those too. Your writing is wonderful. I like the grade school papers, too! And yes, I was riveted to Phil's history lessons, too. I am tempted to be a "feminisn't," along the lines you describe so eloquently. But there is something about the years I came out, politically and sexually, in the 70s-- as a teenager-- that merged sexual liberation and women's liberation for me. I was sincerely shocked by sex-negative feminism, because I considered myself to be holding the driver's keys... how could "they" kick "me" out, when I'd been plowing down the highway since before they woke out of their coma? So I can't quite go where you've gone... but I like to live vicariously. Will you be writing a review of your time at the Film Fest? I'd love to hear about that from your POV I don't know how you have time to do this new blog, but I am grateful b/c it is pure CATNIP to me. If there was a membership, I'd sign up.
