Maybe it’s because I have MOST of my marbles, but I’ve never understood stalking. Why is this MissD person stalking Sasha Grey? Don’t they have something else to do with their lives? It’s just so baffling and scary.

I hope the anti-porn people will wake up and realize that good porn can be a healthy expression of sexuality in our world. However, that’s probably just wishful thinking.

I am thrilled to see you bring some much-needed attention to the insidious and mysterious coupling of fundamentalist religion and anti-porn feminism.

These unlikely bedfellows will scheme up some damn serious social repression.

There will always be people who simply cannot handle or process or accept displays of human sexuality, especially when such displays are composed and captured on film or video. They themselves could never be on display in such as way and so they believe that no one else should or could agree to this in good conscience. It seems to me that they cannot see beyond their own experience, a lack thereof, to imagine anything different, to imagine wanting different experiences, or being aroused in such fashion or wanting to arouse others. I just get tired of trying to discuss this with such people in a rational, adult context because I don’t think they ever want to learn anything new…

Thanks for the plug, Stan. Ernest Greene (who was one of the interview subjects in TPoP) indeed does an excellent takedown of this latest line of new improved puritanism from the “progressive” wing of the anti-porn movement.

I just wanted to also point out that one of the first commentators over on the Chronicle was a “MissD”, who turned up to spit out a nasty line of bile about Sasha Grey. This person is in fact an extremely creepy (and very active) cyberstalker who has been targeting Sasha Grey over the last few months, turning up on various public forums to talk shit about Grey, actually going so far as to post Grey’s real name, phone number, and address on various public fora and posing as Sasha Grey on the comments pages on YouTube.

She recently turned up on our blog under the name “Angelina” after we posted about Grey’s recent lead casting in an upcoming Soderbergh movie, and which linked to Violet Blue’s article. The exchange can be viewed here:

Dear Anti-Porn Nutbags,

Nadine Strossen is going to kick your collective asses. And, you deserve it.

There’s a very good point-by-point deconstruction of “The Price of Pleasure” here:

It’s by Ernest Greene, so it’s well-written and entertaining, even while you will be astounded at the producers’ mendacity.
