Pornstar Sasha Grey reads to primary school children.

[weddy]

You just can't make this shit up!! I wonder how the school introduced her to the children. link: www.laweekly.com/informer/2011/11/11/sasha-grey-reads-to-compton-kids-failing-school-district-embarrasses-itself-again

The worlds gone mad - and porn is very much mainstream.

Profane aggression is funny. Gin is angry and a fighter.

It's not about her last though - it's her present, where she markets herself as a "former porn actress". I don't hate her, I just don't think anyone promoting violence against women as sexy should have the ear of my child. I would object to Nick Giriffin because of his racism/ jingoism. I object to Sascha Grey's misogyny and her choice to argue for abh as empowerment. I wouldn't want to present her as a model of success, which I think this sort of activity does.

While I am not sure of the validity of having 'celebrities' read to kids in the first place (given how many of them are drug-using, tax-dodging, violent-against-women arseholes) I do think there's a lot of slut-shaming on the thread.

Im wondering how the reaction would be if a male porn actor was doing the same, i think from my POV my issue is if she uses
her porn name and kids google, kids will find a way. But hopefully that wouldn't happen.

Why would the reaction be different if it was a male porn performer? What is it in the objections that have been discussed on the thread that are specific to her being a woman?

But male porn performers aren't invited into classrooms, they generally aren't famous, because they don't epitomise their gender's ideals, do they? they aren't powerful.

So it's an interesting question, but perhaps not in the way that you think.

And no, I would not be ok with it unless the students were of an age for a full and frank discussion.

You are a busy little bee tonight, Suttoxi.

Someone bred with you? There's really no accounting for taste, is there.

Perhaps they are hypothetical children...?

We live in perpetual hope!

I doubt very much that the topic of her story telling is porn. Why shouldn't she be able to read to children?

Have you read the threat Maddy? People have pretty much explained that.

like something completely normal she is just reading fairy tales/children's book calm down

Was she doing porn while reading to them? Or dressed as a pornstar while reading to them? Was there anything at all porn related in this?

Whyyyyyy are you digging up 9 year old threads?! It's not great forum etiquette.

You two having to sink so low as resurrecting nine year old threads? Wow, you must be so bored.
