Well, now that you say that, I'm looking at this more skeptically.

Here's the CBC's article on the same issue.
I would note that I believe both are the same article, however, taken from The Canadian Press.
Art Vandelay:
Gee, I wonder if a white performer could pull the old "whitey to the front, darkies to the back" in the name of "anti-racism" and have so many people buy it?
Lana Reverse:
Don't these people realize that stuff like this is only gonna give the 1488 crowd more ammo? That's what really gets me.

--- Quote ---i’m so fucking tired of the “personal empowerment” aspect of feminism that libfems latch onto - i don’t give a shit if stripping makes you feel “empowered”, or if wearing eyeliner so sharp it could kill a man makes you feel “empowered”, or if filming porn makes you feel “empowered”, you are STILL HURTING WOMEN. feminism is not about the individual, it is about the collective, and the fact of the matter is, makeup still upholds traditional standards of beauty, so i don’t care if you “do it for yourself”, you’re still upholding patriarchal structures. and the fact of the matter is, more women in sex work are abused than not, so no, i don’t give a flying fuck if your experiences haven’t been bad, or if you love what you do, or if you feel empowered, but you are STILL PERPETUATING SYSTEMS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST AND OPPRESSION OF WOMEN. just because it doesn’t personally affect you doesn’t mean it’s not harmful to other women.
feminism isn’t about the individual, it’s about the collective

Any sufficiently radical feminism is indistinguishable from patriarchy.
