    Rolling the The Panama Papers

    Starting a new tracking project, with some changes. I am tracking the story with my blogger comments instead of using the Facebook platform. I think it will be much better.

    Feel free to add your comments, links and stuff

    These 2 stories pinched from instapundit are a lesson in the trajectory of a ‘liberated” womans life.

    First the “happy days”, a girl becomes a high class prostitute and says she enjoys it, yet what is her role (apart from a screw)?
    In effect she describes a model housewife, the irony of thei “feminist” finding happyness in an old fashioned gener role is incredible.

    “To offer this level of companionship, I had to be at my very best. Spiritually, I had to cultivate the skills of empathy, tact, and diplomacy (and practice a lot of loving kindness). But I also had to take care of myself physically and mentally if I was going to do it for others. This expectation allowed me to hone my self-discipline and truly master my emotions. I came to love the daily rigors of maintaining myself. It meant daily exercise, watching my diet (if only to have enough energy to be a sexual athlete all night), and keeping positive and spiritually balanced. Negativity cannot proliferate for long when your patrons need you to “light up their lives.”

    Once I learned to hide the sorrows I held inside, they began to disappear. This allowed me to focus on the men who were my clients instead of myself. And while it’s easy to feel “drained” by their needs and expectations, there’s so much room for fulfillment. Many of the men who came to me were stressed, insecure, and troubled, and it wasn’t really about sex for them.”

    Im pretty sure theres a biblical passage i could use about now but instead ill go onto her future trajectory.

    In this one she says she doesn’t regret doing porn, but admits it has screwed her future badly.

    “Bree Olson worked in the porn industry from age 19 to 25, then left to pursue more mainstream pursuits. It’s been a painful bust. “People look at me as if I am the same as a sex offender,” she writes at the Daily Dot. “They look at me as though I am less than in (every) way and they assume the absolute worst in every way.” Companies outside the industry don’t want to hire her, illustrating what she sees is one of the sad ironies of porn: It’s the “one industry where the more successful a woman is, the more she will suffer for the rest of her life.”
    “Still she doesn’t blame the porn industry itself for hurting her, but rather “the way society treats me for having done it.” And to young girls thinking of entering the industry, she advises caution: “Don’t do this to yourself,” she writes. “The money isn’t worth the pain of what society will put you through forever.”

    Those 2 articles, juxtaposed contain more lack of self awareness then i can imagine.

    I don’t think it’s any accident that a lot of former porn stars are in business for themselves as realtors or running other one-woman businesses.
