I noticed today that the US Senate has been doing its usual fine job of legislating. With the nations finances in a mess, and a lot of spending cuts and tax rises that nobody wants about to take effect, they took the time to pass a resolution condemning the Village Voice for its adults classified service backpage.com. Apparently it has become “frighteningly simple to order a child prostitute” according to idiot Senator Mark Kirk. The more logical thinkers amongst us might therefore question why, if that incredibly unlikely statement were true, it isn’t equally frighteningly simple to find and arrest the people involved. Unfortunately I suspect logical thinking never entered into this debate.
It has been a bad year for sex work legislation, with California’s proposition 35 being the standout example. The New Statesman recently published a good article on it and similar legislation, attacking the drafting of laws without proper consultation with the ‘victims’ they’re allegedly trying to help. In theory pro-dommes shouldn’t be affected, given that BDSM is legal. However, there’s always a lot of grey area involved in this kind of work. You might be technically completely legal, but do you trust the cops, DA and judge to all agree? Now it only needs one asshole with a loose interpretation of the truth or the law to get a CA sex worker branded as a sex offender for life. And since prop 35 also targets people supported by the proceeds of sex work, her family could also be in the firing line. What a truly terrible piece of legislation.
I’ll leave you with an image of Natassia Dream doing to CJ what the average politician does to the electorate. The shot is from this scene on TS Seduction. You can see here really working her sizable majority in another shot here.
THIS MAKES ME SO MAD!
Check out this HORSESHIT illogical shaming “ewww gross” editorial from the Village Voice:

Like how they hijacked feminism to support their asinine policy.
How is publishing “face shots only” going to help trafficking…
A prodomme in the comments section puts them in their place…
Trafficking is grotesque and completely unacceptable–an egregious human rights violation
But this has nothing…NOTHING to do with it.
If any prodommes/sex workers are reading this: if you pay for your ads…pay with a prepaid credit card (from a drug store, which you bought in cash), and lie about your contact info and name. The ad companies turn over all their records at will to the DA and police. Protect yourself.
would write more, but I gotta run
