Some of my best friends are strippers and/or pornographic models, and for the most part they would be pleased if the level of sexism in non-sex industries dropped down to the level they experience in the sex industry.
I know I've been lucky. In seattle my friends worked for The Lusty Lady, which was a female managed strip joint (they had THE BEST christmas parties).
When I moved here I worked as a copy writer for The Erotic Review and Penthouse Forum, both of which were edited by a friend of mine. I worked with some of the most progressive people in the sex industry, and I felt very comfortable with how far I got and how I was appreciated and not judged. I certainly feel more judged in the bike industry.
@it'sbruce, I know! That's why I found it funny I guess, I can see these two different types of women in my constant argument with myself.
