http://www.feminisnt.com/2010/slut-bashers-all-grown-up-and-an-excerpt-from-emily-whites-fast-girls/ 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."

It just means that they're huge bitches in the same way that sexist dudes are huge douches. And I definitely didn't grow up skinny or chaste or popular, although I was privileged in many other ways.

Everyone's talking about the problem of school bullying in the newspapers, but I could only think of Emily and her book and how this is slut-baiting par excellence.

It just makes me so uncomfortable, and I don't believe I have any right to judge what people choose to do with themselves. The array of excuses people giving for labeling other women as 'sluts' really amazes me, especially when their standards for a 'slut' would technically apply to themselves.
