Here’s another excellent article on @Belle_Knox that notes how porn is overall still oppressive to ALL WOMEN.
[The Week – Excerpt] – It’s notable, for instance, that the major media venues who are now airing Knox’s feminist editorial are only doing so because she’s a curious sexual tabloid spread. That women’s bodies are easily marketed is no strike against the patriarchy, and that a woman can get attention for her political views only after appealing to male sexual desire certainly doesn’t seem to indicate any serious move in the direction of equality.
But let’s leave aside whether this theoretically breaks the barriers of sexuality and focus on a side of porn that has gotten far less attention in this debate. What material good do women gain from the porn industry?
At the performer-level, porn is a notoriously treacherous place to make a career. While female performers might make more than their male counterparts, most of them just don’t get paid that well, thanks in part to the rise of piracy, cam sites, and the glut of material online. And dwindling profits mean not only pay cuts for performers, but an increased willingness to jockey to meet the demands of a mostly male audience. This competition has two major negative outcomes for Knox’s anti-patriarchal project.
First, it means that male consumers dictate the terms of what’s depicted. As a result, male desire impacts the work and health of performers. For example, a 2012 study found that porn performers in LA had higher rates of STIs than prostitutes working in Nevada; the study authors chalked the prevalence of infections up to the reluctance of studios to enforce condom use because visible condoms aren’t arousing. In other words, the industry drive to respond to male sexual desire could well be the reason performers like Knox are in danger of contracting life-threatening illnesses like HIV. Is this what bucking the patriarchy looks like?

Belle is a really sick self harming cutter who carved the words FAT on her thigh because her boy friend called her fat in the past and she also carved on her body,I’m a slut that deserves to be punished, what a coincidence that pornography calls women those same sexist,woman-hating names and teaches,legitimizes and reinforces these sexist woman-hating male dominated attitudes and mistreatment of women!http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2583675/EXCLUSIVE-The-photos-Duke-porn-star-Belle-Knox-cutter-gets-aroused-hurting-herself.htmlhereHERE
On this page there is a link to Duke student Porn star Belle Knox on ABC ‘s The View saying that like most people she watches pornography and that she’s been watching it since she was 12 years old by herself online no wonder she so mistakenly sadly,unfortunately believes it’s ”normal”,”erotic” and ”sexy”!.And Whoopie Goldberg asks her what she means when she says that she feels empowered by doing porn,and Whopie incomprehensibly disturbingly says she totally gets that.And Belle says something about misogyny and how women are stigmitized for admitting they like to watch pornography and says something like that it makes her feel empowered to be able to make the choice etc.You have to go through all of the most watched news videos they show still picturs of on the site

As many women haters (sadly some women have said this too,because most women are sadly cruelly influenced by the sick woman-hating male dominated society too because of men)women in pornography get payed more than the men,but what this article (surprisingly) doesn’t say is that this is the only ”job” women do get payed more than men when they are hated, used and abused to sexually serve men and their worshipped penises! This is all we are valued for and the women in pornography know it! When women use their intelligence,and have the same experience,education etc as men when they are lawyers,doctors,accountants etc they get payed *less* than men with the same education,experience,intelligence etc,it used to be a woman was payed 60 cents for the dollar men made in the 1980’s,now it only went up to 70 cents! Wow what ”progress”!
