Former Porn Star Nails The Bullsh*t Way We View Female Sexuality

[ghostsinthemachine]

To all the young women thinking about doing porn; I didn’t find Jesus. I don’t hate porn. I didn’t have any bad experiences. But trust me when I tell you not to do it."

That's how former porn star Bree Olson begins her open letter to young women about why they should stay away from the porn industry. Instead of lamenting the stereotypical assumption that female porn stars are sluts, Olson had a very different reason why young women should choose another career path.

Olson doesn't just highlight the issues a woman might face within the porn industry, but the discrimination she'll most likely experience when she tries to leave it.

On June 17, Olson tweeted a screen shot of a letter to her 900,000 followers, writing: “When you do porn you automatically become a segregated part of society that is held to prejudice without the support of activists for your human rights.” Read the rest of her letter below: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/19/porn-star-nails-female-sexuality-bree-olson_n_7620812.html

1. That's a good example of everyday

human hypocrisy. So many people enjoy watching porn, yet they look down on the people who provide it. Same goes for some drug users and how they view dealers.

2. Indeed.

Phony moralism is a great 'murkan tradition.

4. Nobody wants their daughter doing porn.

They want other people's daughters doing porn.

3. Too bad so many people are judgmental fuckknobs.

I don't think everyone is, but a lot of people are.

5. I remember my own mother looking down her long blue nose at one of my playmates

because her mother had been in burlesque during WWII. I thought my mother was going crazy, she rarely looked down her nose at anyone. My friend and I did our playing at her house, not mine. We were six years old.

She's right that the attitude comes mostly from women, but that's because so many women have been hurt by porn, by males who think real women are like that, by males who want us to do things that are uncomfortable, painful, or downright dangerous because they saw it simulated in a porn movie.

Men will just think she's easy meat, no matter how old she gets.
