The School of Belle Knox-Duke Porn Star

Today’s moral lesson involves the 18-year-old Duke University freshman who has revealed that she is moonlighting in pornography movies to pay her outsized $60,000-a-year tuition at Duke.

Miriam Weeks, aka “Belle Knox,” revealed her secret identity to her date on the way to a party a month or so ago and was astounded to find that within an hour everybody at the party knew it. Apparently in the age of Twitter and Facebook, there are still people who think that word doesn’t get around.

However, that doesn’t mean she is embarrassed about it. After becoming a campus sensation and having word leak to the outer world, Weeks defiantly defended herself in a lengthy tract on xoJane, a feminist website that features stories such as “Trust No One: Online Dating” and “It Happened to Me: I Found My Boyfriend’s Child Pornography.”

Quote:

“Why does the thought of a woman having sexual experiences scare us to much? The answer is simple. Patriarchy fears female sexuality.
It terrifies us to even fathom that a woman could take ownership of her body. We deem to keep women in a place where they are subjected to male sexuality.… The threat I pose to patriarchy is enormous.”

What do you think?

The most shocking thing to me is the tuition fee.

The rest of the story seems comparatively unimportant as it simply follows the obscenity of that tuition rate.

Who the **** are you to judge anybody else's life and what they need to do to pay for a $60,oo0/year education? How many banksters have you preached on? For shame.

But, of course, as you told me the other day, the American standard of living hasn't gotten worse under Obama

Lordy, I figured out my mistake. I didn't attribute the article properly and made it seem as if I was passing judgement.
My bad

As I remember our exchange I argued that income inequality had grown in the last 20 years and it shouldn't be laid at Obama's door-step.
You argued that the quality of life(skyrocketing tuition fees) were the fault of our President.

As is so often the case with Brandon, he states his cherished and bigoted opinions as though they were facts. I have not been able to get "postable" images from the Wikipedia article, but i urge everyone who is interested in this subject to look at Standard of Living in the United States.

In particular, the bar graph shows that as of 2007, Americans have the highest proportion of disposable income of any nation on earth. As always, Brandon is more interested in his own, personal political hysteria than in facts and evidence.
