From her blog:
I see feminism and porn as two separate entities. Doing porn is not necessarily an act of feminism, sex positive feminism is not necessarily pornographic. The two can intermingle happily or butt heads, depending on the groups involved. The adult industry and the status and control of women varies vastly. Joanna Angel, Belladonna, Kimberly Kane and Sasha Grey all control their own careers and are doing quite well. Joanna and Bella both have their own production companies AND actually run them. Joanna in particular made some serious changes to what people think is sexy and what sort of look the adult industry as a whole puts in their films. April Flores (who also goes by Fatty Delicious) is another woman who is opening up ‘mainstream’ pornography to different body types/shapes and pushing for them to be highlighted purely as beautiful women as opposed to only starring in niche market films. Kimberly Kane and Mason are directors who make movies that show what *they* think is sexy.
Digital Playground is owned by two people. One is female. For the past three years they have managed my career and controlled my image and brand. They’ve brought me opportunities and they’ve told me I can’t do certain things. This is a capitalism, not anti-feminism. This is an (ideally) symbiotic relationship between any artist/performer/talent and their production company/publisher/label. In any situation that involves working for a company, the company tries to get as much work as possible while paying the worker as little as possible. The worker tries to get paid the most they can for the work they do. This happens in hiring negotiations between secretary and office HR manager, freelancer and client, and musician and label. Sometimes people don’t know how much they can ask for, sometimes they get out-negotiated, sometimes they do get taken advantage of. That concept applies to any industry and any worker of any gender. Like other industries, pornography has a range of working conditions, levels of respect for their workers, and general treatment of women.
