Comments for Feminisnt http://www.feminisnt.com 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."

That was insightful. "* Sex workers instinctively know how to operate futuristic helicopter submarines." Finally the truth comes out!

I want to respond to the bit about sex worker bloggers. I absolutely agree that cynacism is necessary, but some of us just don't have the luxury of not being totally anonymous. I am a well known sex worker where I live, and I just can't risk having a client find my blog and realise who I actually am. Perhaps the only way to really to know for sure is how willing people are to meet in person or have a video Skype conversation? Love the protest banner!

First, we had the holidays, but it feels like everyone is still recovering from the holidays. Perhaps we'll be back in a week or two. :) Lee: Stay tuned, there will be another round of protests in the near future.
