Dacia has this superlative post about the ethics behind people who post the writings of sex workers and their clients — and the (IMHO) fucked up comeback of — summed up in the woman’s post title — “So, Would It Be OK If I Fucked For Money?”… There’s a whole different kind of sexploitation going on when the age-old stereotypes are used for consumption from a sex-negative space, and not from a true desire to understand and tell a story.
— violet blue, re: non sex workers telling sex workers stories. She doesn’t use Susannah’s name when calling her out, which is bizarre, as they’re working in the same field. Violet also declined to use my full name, or even a link, when she turned a video camera on me and asked me to “tell my craziest hooker story.” And when I declined, more than once, she put the video up anyway. Sexploitation by who, now? (via melissa)
The eternal adage of popularity and pundits. As their fame grows, they think they are allowed more and don’t need to credit their sources.
The good thing about this behaviour: people really interested in the truth will soon discover new sources and often drop the pundits.
The bad thing? Any new source potentially is the next pundit.
