yeah. whats funny is that i actually didn't put in 3/4 of the shite that i wanted to talk about. ever since i went abroad to amsterdam/denmark to study human trafficking and prostitution i've kinda been fucked, unable to stop thinking about how much both patriarchy and global capitalism together suck.

id like to read your stuff too but first i'll say it's funny (both funny haha + funny peculiar) that the vagina monologues includes a story where a 13 year old girl is polansky'd by an older woman and she recalls it fondly and all is well. double standards i say. |

funny story, i actually really hate the vagina monologues. seriously.
still, like the masochist i can be, i produced/directed/organized it for three years to raise money for a non profit called Y.A.N.A. which helps local prostitutes and human trafficking victims. once again, that trip fucked w me.

yeah, seriously.
when i went abroad, i actually met trafficked victims. women who had been sold into prostitution. it was really really fucking intense. i entered the program completely sex-positive. i left with more questions than answers. ps - as passe as it is, i've thought about writing a zine about the sonic youth....just about my own experiences growing up with the youth, how experimental jet set completely turned my life around etc.

interesting use of masochism for a so-called "higher purpose". good job. madame !@#$%! often shows "rape in the congo" to her students. it never fails to make her ill. |

Read of how Gore Vidal says "America is rotting away. The worst-educated people in the First World. They don’t have any thoughts, they have emotional responses, which advertisers know how to provoke.”

Surely that's just cunts rather than "patriarchy" and "global capitalism". By labelling it "patriarchy" you seem to be suggesting all men are involved in this. |

of course not all men are involved with trafficking. however, human trafficking is a direct result of both global trade and a supply and demand "rape culture." on the supply side, people living in third world conditions have been raped by capitalism. women are desperate to leave their situations and easily lured into being trafficked, families in dire poverty will sell daughters (because they can't support their children and they are worth less than men), poor men pimp out women to make enough money to live (after all, pimping is the only profession older than prostituion) ...on the demand side, we are taught that we can and should be able to get what we want when we want it, including sexually. men want prostitutes/sex workers at a cheep price. not to sound like a party pooper (and i know i'm gonna get a lot of shit for saying this) but i really do believe that if people are going to look at porn they need to be doing a weeeee bit of research. whenever i look at porn (and yes, i do enjoy pornography), i make sure that it's made by companies who actually are legitimate because otherwise, you never know. especially for those of you out there who like kinky shit - so many women are trafficked and forced to do that stuff. the fact we are taught that it's a given right that you should be able to jack off freely does, in fact, harm women. and that's just a brief summary of how patriarchy and capitalism come together to make human trafficking one of the worst underground trades...
