sex work is the reason I stopped i stopped believing in the feminist theory I was brought up on.

It was impossible for me to feel happy about my realization that my body is not who i am while still reading the kind of books which use that 70's slogan "our bodies ourselves", and state near-constantly that there is something inherently "female" and

I really liked reading this. Obviously we have both been on the same track of mulling over how our ideas have changed in regards to feminism and experiencing real worlds of sex work and real worlds of using female bodies to survive/thrive.

I find it so interesting doing stuff to decrim now that I will be in a room with some old woman who will be talking about how "prostitutes don't want the industry legalized, they want to get out, they hate themselves for being in and they don't want to give their johns and pimps protection." And I will stand across from her and say YES I DO, I DO WANT THAT, I DO WANT TO BE IN THIS INDUSTRY, AND I DON'T HATE MY CLIENTS and she will look right through me.

See you should write me more awesome stuff about this, I await my letter with great excitement xxxx

i SENTED IT FINALLY! a few days ago. so expect it.

I have traveled so far from feminism in the last two years that I can hardly believe it. hardcore and feminism were the same for me, i think. that sounds fucking weird. but my involvement in them both was easier when i hadn't met so many people or experienced so many things emotionally/physically. both things gave me something to be passionate about, and then I realised how exclusionary they both were.. okay, that doesnt ring true, I guess i always knew that about hardcore.

p.s loving how we go in different directions and still come to similar conclusions/have actually changed in lots of SIMILAR ways, despite incredibly different lives.
