Tip for pussy, bb. (I am not a whore.)

Women are still paid, on average, 75 cents to the dollar that men earn for the same job with the same qualifications. This is not to mention the disparity of white male earnings and other minorities. Unfortunately, our society and even in the year 2013 still values its penis-possessing members above their baby-making counterparts. This is sad, but not for me.

Since I started modeling my boobies and earning money based on the fact that I am a female who enjoys the cyber-space company of men, I have been noticing what I believe is a serious misrepresentation of sex workers in our media and folk stories. (When I say sex workers, I don't mean prostitutes exclusively  but any woman who uses sex in any way to earn a living.) I think this image should be noted and analyzed as it speaks to a general attitude held by, or at least readily accepted by, the larger mainstream population.

This is America. Our culture is based in Puritan-Christian beliefs and whether or not we are religious, these values have been passed down and are so infused into our behavior and value system that it is sometimes difficult to see the forest through the trees. Our sexuality is shamed from the moments we begin to express it. We are so repressed that we have a tendency  through media and other visible avenues, to sexualize EVERYTHING. The female breasts, viewed in many societies simply as a nice piece of flabby meat that feeds babies, has become such a sexualized aspect of the female form that we almost view it as its own reproductive organ so much to the point that young girls who mature to possess them are taught to hide and even be ashamed of them (we could also discuss breast augmentation  often practiced to amplify and justify perceptions of femininity). Others turn to the alternative extreme and represent themselves as "whores" simply by making the decision to be proud of their bodies. This stigma follows females into adulthood and we dress not for ourselves, and not even for the attraction of men (which would be biologically sound, maybe not feminist), but in a way that is acceptable and approved by other women in our society who hold these repressive values. (This is a sort of paradox and I don't have time to argue it's existence here. You don't have to accept this premise to understand my larger argument.)
