I went to a metal show last week... I'm not even a huge metal fan (despite the LJ name, which could be misleading)... but I went anyway - mostly because the show was so close to home and it's not something in these sticks for us to indulge in... so I went ( Read more... ) -

The really interesting thing about the woman who wrote this article is that she's an ex-stripper and prostitute. I came accross this article: http://www.zimbio.com/Crime,+Background+Checks,+Foul-Play,+Fraud+And+Investigations/articles/hWl9ORpbqZ4/Kelly+Holsopple+Stripper+Prostitute+Minneapolis

Degradation used to sell to the weak-minded and insecure...
I think that one of the selling points of pornography IS the degradation. This is why it bothers me. It bothers me for the same reason people have ever been bothered by "free speech" that is simply used to tap into insecurities that make a buck ( Read more... )
