  • Asian men, however—at least since Sessue Hayakawa, who made a Hollywood career in the 1920s of representing the Asian man as sexual threat —have been consigned to one of two categories: the egghead/wimp, or—in what may be analogous to the lotus blossom-dragon lady dichotomy—the kung fu master/ninja/samurai. He is sometimes dangerous, sometimes friendly, but almost always characterized by a desexualized Zen asceticism.” Isn’t He Lovely: Fear and Loathing of Asian American Male Sexuality (Bitch Media)

  • Bostonians might well be concerned about the effect decriminalization of prostitution could have on trafficking or forced prostitution.

  1. Uh, Violet, you might want to more clearly designate quotes from linked pages (as opposed to descriptions you write), especially quotes in the first person. Take the item about fisting. I remember your video interview with Woz and other people at that computer museum and wondered with trepidation what I missed.

  2. Violet,

    Thank you for helping me spread the word about Fisting Day!

    Yesterday, Smitten Kitten became the first wholesale order to carry Courtney Trouble’s forthcoming film LIVE SEX SHOW, which very well might be the first time in recent years that a sex toy retailer will openly sell a physical DVD which explicitly contains a fisting scene. I hope other female-friendly sex toy stores follow their progressive lead! Soon we will stop this foolish and homophobic censorship!

    Throwing fists full of hearts at you. <3 <3 <3
