Further, I find Mr. Smith’s implication that I, as a model and porn performer, have been coerced, victimized, or exploited by my job to be profoundly degrading and insulting. To imply that I have not exercised the same autonomous judgment as anyone else has in choosing a career, is to completely dismiss my will, intelligence and rational capability. ”

It’s such a fucking Rorschach response, these people who project their own anxieties and fears about sex and commerce and sexual commerce all over our bodies.
