The left’s unyielding battle against repression and conservatism in general causes them to forge strange alliances. Thirty years ago feminists condemned pornography. Two of the movement’s most famous luminaries even created an ordinance seeking to define it as a violation of female civil rights.
What a difference a new millennium makes. Many feminists are now openly in favor of porn and have tried to carve out portions of it as “political and woman-owned.”
At this pace it won’t be long before they begin championing XXX actresses as important agents of social change. Oh, my apologies, they already have. Rolling Stone ran a hagiographic expose on one such starlet last May.
Its title, “The Dirtiest Girl in the Room,” hails the emergence of Sasha Grey, revolutionary leftist in waiting. We should not be surprised by this unsavory news, as it is the inevitable fruit of “being judgmental” becoming a sin.
Despite the reporter’s flattering depiction, Ms. Grey appears to be more silicon-headed drama queen than horseman of the apocalypse. She presents as being just another uneducated 21-year-old whose ignorance has convinced her that she knows all there is to know about the world.

Reason will be replaced by Revelation. Instead of Rational Law, objective truths perceptible to any who will undergo the necessary intellectual discipline, Knowledge will degenerate into a riot of subjective visions... Whole cosmogonies will be created out of some forgotten personal resentment, complete epics written in private languages, the daubs of schoolchildren ranked above the greatest masterpieces. Idealism will be replaced by Materialism. Life after death will be an eternal dinner party where all the guests are 20 years old... Justice will be replaced by Pity as the cardinal human virtue, and all fear of retribution will vanish... The New Aristocracy will consist exclusively of hermits, bums and permanent invalids. The Rough Diamond, the Consumptive Whore, the bandit who is good to his mother, the epileptic girl who has a way with animals will be the heroes and heroines of the New Age, when the general, the statesman, and the philosopher have become the butt of every farce and satire.
W.H.Auden (1944)
I say the line must be drawn here, here and no further.
I wonder what Marilyn Chambers would say about this titwit?
