It was a good discussion piece (even if I am not used to trying to formulate complete sentences and could barely talk because of my cold).
I missed a lot of what was said in the chatroom while I was blathering on, but went back to read it, saw more discussion about the TERM "feminist" and the baggage associated with it, and wanted to clarify that I am proud to call myself a feminist AND a whore. It's unfortunate that only the most extreme examples of feminism spring to some people's minds when they hear/see the word. Associating all feminists with one militant (and often bizarre) way of thinking has very effectively served to divide and conquer us by making so many people ashamed to associate themselves with the word.
It's nuts to think that feminism means the same thing to every feminist. We feminists have not all adopted one single manifesto just as not all pornographers and people in this industry agree on the steps we need to take to protect our businesses. I am still proud to call myself a pornographer even though I strongly disagree with a lot of pornographers' ideas, goals and products. I would still defend their right to produce it and do their jobs (even though I may be critical of some of it).
