Basically, this girl...


...does porn. Her name is Belle Knox, and she's an 18 year old freshman at Duke. I'm not exactly sure how or why this became semi-news considering Arizona State coeds have been choking down meatswords since the beginning of time, but this story crept it's way onto my radar recently. The story is that she does porn to help pay her tuition. Because a lot of what I am about to say relates to the garbage she wrote, here is a link to a piece written by her. I don't make it a habit to respond to complete strangers, especially when I know they will never read my response anyways, but I view her article sort of like a microcosm of thoughts of all the people I loathe: Social Justice Warriors, /srs/, Tumblr users, extreme feminists, etc.

For those of you too lazy to read the article I just linked (AKA all of you), the rundown of the piece is this: Over Christmas break some frat guy at Duke saw her in a porno, told his buddies, news spread around campus, she got harassed online, and now she is explaining herself. It's a pretty well-written article, but it kinds of reads like a Martin Luther King Jr. speech. At parts during my reading, I imagined her on a stage with a microphone with scores of minions beneath her, gradually moving from head-nodding in agreeance to clenching their collective fists, and at the end of the speech storming the castle of the patriarchy with their bloody tampons to avenge the oppression they have suffered at the hands of the evil penises.

I do agree that nobody should be sending death threats or whatever to her, or anyone for that matter. I think society is basically a bunch of whimpering pussies when it comes to online bullying, but I do recognize that certain lines shouldn't be crossed and certain things can be serious matters. But there's also something to be said about people who know what the reaction will be to their actions, do the action anyways, and then complain about the reaction they already knew was coming. I wouldn't park a brand new Mercedes on a Detroit street corner, leave it unlocked with a roll of $100 bills on the passenger seat, leave for a few days, then be shocked and outraged when I came back and saw it stolen. Would it still be wrong of the scumbag who jacked my ride? Of course. Should I have expected that to happen? Yep. I think you see where I'm going with this.

I don't have a beef with sex workers, but let's just call a spade a spade. They do a job that requires little-to-no skill, credentials, qualifications, etc. In short, pretty much anyone could be a sex worker. I believe the lack of respect has less to do with a 'fear or womens' sexuality' (lol), and more to do with the lack of skill required to do that job. When I see a woman in porn, I assume she isn't smart enough to do anything else with her life. The assumption that they are dumb is a legit one, considering they are doing a job that requires no intelligence whatsoever. But sex workers and sluts in general, I find super insecure. Like they will overcompensate for their whorish ways by really celebrating their lives in the way an ex would exaggeratedly show off with her new boyfriend to make an ex angry.

For those of you reading this who want to argue that beauty or whatever is a 'qualification' for sex work, I will direct your attention to Facial Abuse, a rough (understatement) porn site that this Belle Knox chick shot for. I've watched tons of videos from that site, and trust me, about 10% of those girls are remotely attractive. That estimation might even be a on the generous side because there are truly some warthogs and crack whores on there.

I guess part of why the story got big is because she responded with her own interviews and articles pretty quickly and a group of idiot feminists tagged along at her heels to make sure they could yell "empowerment!" at anyone within ear shot. If licking a toilet bowl or barfing on yourself in an internet video is empowerment to you.... umm good for you. Again, it's the insecurities coming out. They know it's not, but what else can they really say or do other than admit they just disgraced their family and whored themselves out so they could get $200 for blowing a guy 3X their age.


The part of the article that made my jim jims a little bit rustled, was when under a bolded headline that said "Patriarchy fears female sexuality," she wrote: I am well aware: The threat I pose to the patriarchy is enormous. So, I guess men are actually just scared of women's sexuality and it has nothing to do with her throating a 48 year old on film??

Whatever, I'm done writing. I feel like I had more to say but got tired and now don't really care. Feminists blow. Later.
