Political Crossfire Forums

Recently there have been a lot of talk about the Duke Freshman who did porn to pay for her school. A lot of people are either disgusted or tried to help her quit. Either way they see porn as a negative things. However, she claims that it's empowering and that she does not feel exploited. So my questions to you are.
1) Is doing porn to pay for college something that should be frowned upon?
2) Would you be ok if your daughter did it?
3) Is porn a legitimate career choice. Compared to modeling or more respectable fields such as Wall Street or Politics.

No, yes if she is rational and happy, yes.

Politicians are bigger whor*s than porn stars.

Did he really just say Wall Street was more respectable than porn

"Knox is currently pursuing a major in women’s studies and sociology and has expressed interest in becoming a women’s rights or civil rights lawyer after completing her education.[6] Knox is a College Republican[11] and considers herself a sex-positive feminist and libertarian. "

She is really confused :/


Not bad tho

1) Maybe, by doing porn you are isolating yourself from a lot of careers and people who think it is morally wrong but for those who don't have to worry about social stigma, or your parents social stigma than sure
2) I would highly discourage it and be unhappy
3) what makes a career choice legitimate vs illegitimate? It is legal.

Yep agree with above.

Well she's not confused if she's a financial conservative.. but aligning yourself with one of the two major parties shows you to be confused to a certain extent regadless.

just scanned through one of her vids, she sucks rooster like a champ, deepthroat all the way to the base, extremely talented young girl and duke should be proud to have her as part of their student body

Also remember that while it's harder to do it, it is possible to convert capital from certain undesirable careers into more general success. I always think of Sunny Leone for example who is now a Bollywood star.



Porn star or not, I consider her perhaps the most beautiful woman in the world. Also it's not unheard of that courtesans, prostitutes, etc. can have high cultural capital depending on the society and historical context. Anyone seen Firefly? Think Inarra.

I mean even to be a major porn star in modern America you have to have entrepreneurial skills in order to develop your "brand." The whole stigma thing is stupid and doesn't help anyone.

i hear sasha grey is running for senate

There are different...magnitudes...of porn. Most of it, fine whatever. But there is some sick shit out there that I can't imagine anyone going through and having even the slightest shred of self respect left on the other side. That's just messed up. Its not a career choice to do that to oneself. Its self destruction and possibly mental illness.
