Feminist theory from a Zen porn star

[drwex]

Yes, really. 'Song linked to this interview with Nina Hartley. Go read it.

Interview format doesn't lend itself to the kind of deep exposition that you get in a good book or essay, so the column passes over a number of things I found fascinating. Hartley regards herself not only as bisexual but as "inter-gendered." And she has something of an interestingly historical perspective on the evolution of anti-porn in feminism; I'm old enough to remember the shifts she describes. I'd love to see some of these one-off lines expanded.

I remember Hartley from my own porn-watching days, but had no idea of the background she came from or her views on these things. She's very male-sympathetic and sounds remarkably honest, at least as much as I can read from this text.
