1. I do consider myself a male feminist.

But I take issue with the stance that ever watching porn means ‘I’m a problem’. I know the arguments that some women in the industry are in distress or have hard lives before, during and after sex work. But I also see plenty of women are more than happy with the work. It’s a job and a good number of the women it are enterprising and independently successful.

Feminist values to me are trusting and respecting women’s rights to make their own choices. It’s an equality that requires an understanding of agency. Meanwhile attempts to demonize women like the recently much more famous Stormy Daniels because of a past in totally legal employment that some people happen to disagree with work to undermine the idea that women can decide for themselves how to make a living.
