Since I was old enough to even know what sex was I was fascinated by it. Not just the fact that it felt good, but the fact that it was the single most important factor in our existence yet it is still unbelievably taboo! I have always felt that sex is, and should be, a form of empowerment for men AND women.
I am not a man hating feminist.
I love men, I love women, and I love every gender in between.
I watch porn quite a lot. But not to get off. I watch it just to become accustomed to new things that a portion of our population is interested in.
I love Kathleen Hanna, Allison Wolfe, and Madison Young.
And many others. But they're the three I've been focusing on lately.
Mainly Miss Young.
An adult film actress who runs a sexuality and gender based art gallery out in san fran. She's a beautiful and wonderfully eloquent woman who I would love to model my future after. Though I'm n0t terribly interested in following her path in being an adult film actress (though I have immense respect for how she's held herself in such a potentially misogynistic field) I have found what she does outside of that to be amazing.
And Kathleen Hanna and Allison Wolfe for OBVIOUS reasons.
I would also like to note a certain Miss Taryn Hipp (who can be found at http://tarynhipp.blogspot.com/) who helped me realize that being a tough, free, and badass woman is totally acceptable and she showed me the way of riot grrl, blogging, crafting, and zines. Her and our friends Maureen, Jen, and Chrissy have taught me so much about standing up for myself and being rad. Without them I probably wouldn't have ever had the guts to start this blog.
In the future I plan to do some opinion pieces, interviews (fingers crossed), and who knows what else.
Comment and whatever. I'm excited to do this and I hope you are interested in seeing where it goes
