Why is it OK for male student to be a fan of porn while shameful for females to perform in porn?
My decision to do porn to pay for college was a private one I made, and then I was outed to my university classmates by another Duke student who had seen me on the Internet a few months ago. After promising me he would respect my privacy, he proceeded to reveal who I was to the entire Greek system, which is when all of this controversy first began. I started to be harassed. He started to be applauded.
Isn’t that always the way? The porn performer is to be shamed. The porn consumer is to be celebrated.
In my own personal life, I am devastated to reveal that many of those closest to me have unleashed similar cruelty. Many have simply shut me out. Some of my best and oldest friends have told me that I deserve anything negative or horrible that comes my way — and that terrible things are what I have brought upon myself when I decided to do porn.
To this I would ask: What about the people who consume porn?

Personally, i completely applaud her personal, public stand.
It really is abhorrent that women are still ‘slut shamed’ in this manner - when - lets face it, we are a society that loves porn.
I’ve never been told to die in quite so many ways.
