    Stripping is empowering

    The time I spent in the sex industry was one of the unhealthy-est times of my life, and the proportion of women I met in the sex industry was about 3-1 mentally ill, abuse survivors, and drug users to healthy empowered women. I guess one woman's exploitation is another womans empowerment. Personally, I think doing something women haven't already done for thousands of years, like physics, is a lot more revolutionary than selling sex.
