Bizarre site of the day

[Toni KatVixen]

I admire women like Furry-Girl & Trixie. They are the kind of women that showed me that you could be a feminist and be in porn AND have ethics.

I'm not into the menstrating sites cuz I don't like blood, my choice. But we are in porn, we help to push the ideas of sexuality, like it or not.

Porn needs more women like them to shake the boat. I'm sick and tired of porn being dicated by just the male side.....the sick part of them....vomiting, raping....all the crap that demeans us. Trixie & Furry-girl are pushing the limits for HEATHLY NEEDED conversation about women's bodies.

If we didn't have women to "shake the boat", then we wouldn't have the right to vote, the right to conception or the right to do with our bodies as we please. If you had your way on not "shaking" the boat, then the I still wouldn't be able to own property. If people didn't have the guts to shake the boat then we would still have slavery.

Awww -- thank you! Good points too, and I stand in mutual admiration of your feminism which I noted years back in your posts on other boards.

After being so argumentative, I should let people know that I haven't griped to CCBill about the no-menstruation policy, and I don't "blame" them for trying to keep the CC companies happy -- on the contrary, I appreciate it and the job they do for us. I realize that with issues like menstruation there are bigger forces at play. I also realize that the majority of sites they deal with have business models that are different from our own so their standard operating procedure on stuff like banned words appearing on sites doesn't often have to allow for context since on most sites PORN (and making fast sales! and pushing more porn!) is the only context.

I don't expect CCBill to piss off Visa so a little entity like myself who makes them very little money can wave her red flag. But I do expect to be able to call bullshit on the whole thing in a public way that brings a little necessary contemplation and discussion to the issues at hand. I realize RawAlex isn't the only one who thinks what he's written here, so I hope he understands that my ire is generally directed to a bunch of people's attitudes and not his alone.

And now I must do some important business: sit on the couch and watch old Star Trek Next Gen episodes.

Thanks for your input, KatVixen! On the topic of feminist porn, there was a good quote in the latest BUST Magazine:

"I'll always prefer to play [in bands] with women and hang out with women, and I'll always be a feminist. But let me tell you something: Gloria Steinem never helped me out; Larry Flynt did." -- Courtney Love in Spin.

I don't like to be such a reductionist, (although lordy knows no one comprehends my long-ass posts anyhow), but it is *impossible* to not note that every time the period discussion comes around, it breaks down into men versus women. One side is disgusted, one side is incensed that they're being told they're disgusting. It's not a matter of forcing anyone to jerk off thinking about tampons, it's a matter of respect for women and their bodies. You know, *women and their bodies*, those "things" that almost everyone here derives their income from.

It's nice to hear from the perspective of a woman who doesn't make period porn, since I suppose Trixie and I are "bias" when it comes to supporting such dangerous extremist revolutions as menstruating.

People tend to fear what they don't understand.

No, it doesn't have anything to do with yeast infections -- looks like your cute little Mississippi IQ prevented you from understanding the analogy. Thanks for trying anyway.

Come on Trix, you can do better than this, that was uncalled for, although just as wrong as

Trixie is a cute little thing.

so I do understand the impulse.



In my experience, Ccbill initially reviews sites with a bot, picking up hot keywords. They are relatively easy to work with, it only takes a bit of effort to open a discussion to point out context as Trixie & Tucker did.
