http://www.feminisnt.com I'm a pornographer, sex worker, atheist, and former "sex-positive feminist" who grew tired of trying to shoehorn my reality into a useless feminist analysis. I blog my observations as a politically-minded smut peddler, ethical slut, and staunch skeptic. I despise people who project their insecurities onto others, or force sex workers into only two roles: helpless victims and evil patriarchy-colluders. If I ever found a nonprofit, it will be called Start Porn Culture and I will go under the alias Gail Vagines. My activist philosophy is informed primarily by Patrick Swayze's character in Roadhouse: "I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice."
