"It’s the listmaking, the angling for position, the seemingly endless quest to be recognized as the definitive voice that worries me. It’s the recent discussions of social capital on the web — or 'whuffie' that make me feel tired." Preach it!!

"I think we go back and forth all the time with the argument about sex positive feminism, what it really means, and how we can practically apply the tools we hear in theory while living out there in a world that is downright prejudicial on so many levels.
For example, I myself struggle with believing the whole 'hypersexualization' school of thought because I’m an advocate for choice and self-determination (i.e. I don’t just believe in the decriminalization of sex work, I believe people can and do choose it and deserve more than basic human rights) I look at colonization and remember that we need to take the power back."

"I looked at my own life that was so similar in many ways to the life Rebecca and Catalina had with her families. We all were struggling to raise our children. Rebecca and I both belonged to the PTA and had been girl scout leaders. We never hesitated to volunteer at our children's schools yet just as Rebecca was shunned once it was revealed she was an escort I know that there are many people in my community that would treat me exactly the same if my friendships with sex workers and fund raising for SWA was revealed. I would be stigmatized just for my association with sex workers."
