Last week, Nina gave the keynote address at the annual Desiree Alliance Sex Worker Conference in Las Vegas; discussing everything from the struggle to make her voice heard as a sex worker/pro-porn advocate to a thorough analysis of the forces invieghed against her and her activist sex worker associates.
I could give an analysis of the speech...but since Nina has a way of rendering analysis moot by her own eloquence and passion, I figure that reposting the speech (and the ensuing Q & A) would be more than suitable enough.
The original speech was posted by sawbuckfilms via their YouTube channel yesterday; a sincere thanks to them for giving permesion to repost it here. I have also posted the speech over at my own SmackDog Chronicles blog, too.

To quote the video- Oh my god, that's it!
ReplyDeleteI was recently linked to agressive anti-porn feminist blog The Biting Beaver. Never having really considered feminism, and being pretty disorientated by the hate speech, I started on a kind of trek around the internet to figure out what my position on this stuff should be. Looking through Biting Beaver led me to other bits of agressive feminism, then to encyclopedia dramatica's take, and then all around the internet until I landed here. And here, I think, I've found a position I can agree with.
