Comments on: Quote: Gavin de Becker on gender roles determining "romance" or "stalking" http://www.feminisnt.com/2010/quote-gavin-de-becker-on-gender-roles-determining-romance-or-stalking/ 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."

In three minutes, a creep who acted just a few hairs short of actual rape managed to - by repetition of this - move a pretty girl from outright and uncomfortable rejection to starry eyed adoration.
