Rape, Assange, and Consent

by Sabrina Morgan on December 22, 2010 · 2 Comments · in Culture, Society

First, let me start off with an unfortunately-necessary disclaimer: There are extremely obvious political over- and under-tones to the Assange debacle. Most countries simply don’t care this much about alleged violations of consent when their messy little secrets aren’t involved. On top of that, an accusation is not a conviction.

Feminism Stole My Housewife

Another unexpected sex worker ally: R. K. “Randy” Milholland of Something Positive fame. Several of his recurring characters work at Nerdrotica, a woman-owned boutique phone sex and webcam company catering to geeks. His most recent storyline “Customer Serviced” struck me hard and made me laugh in that “I swear I’ve had that guy” way fellow [...]

An Unexpected Sex Work Advocate

by Sabrina Morgan on March 24, 2008 · 4 Comments · in Feminism, Sex Work, Society

Top career advice blogger Penelope Trunk has been known for taking unorthodox stances, but I was still surprised – and proud – to see her come out against three common sex worker-bashing cliches: oppression by pimps/madams, lumping different types of sex work together, and the depressed sex worker.
