Topic	Mia Khalifa says she regrets doing porn and it was biggest mistake of her life.
Crepes 08/11/19 4:40:32 AM #83:	Kickflip posted... It's that kind of rhetoric that does a disservice to sex work and what many women (and men! but there is definitely a more prominent stigma against women) are trying to dispell. Yes, much like many avenues (as with the example with Weinstein), there may be something going on behind the scenes. If Mia Khalifa wants to shine a light on anything specific, then that's great. There also isn't anything wrong with regretting doing porn. However I think one of the biggest pieces of evidence that makes me think this is insincere is that she still uses her porn name. If she wanted to get away from her past and not be reminded of it, a very obvious first step is to not keep identifying yourself with your porn persona. So there's likely some self awareness on her part where she knows it's her porn identity that keeps her relevant and she's not above continuing to use it. Anyway, I feel less strongly about Mia's choices and more about defending healthy sex work in general. Not so much down with presumptions like in an earlier post: it also comes off as people who are still in the industry and regret their decision but don't have any better avenues Im away at the moment so Ill come back with a full response later. You make some interesting point but I dont agree with some of them. Only thing I have time to mention now is around the point you and a few others have made questioning why is she still using her porn name. Is that due to the fact that Mia Khalifa is her real name and not a made up porn star name? --- Praxis Makes Perfect The only intelligent tactical response to life's horror is to laugh defiantly at it. ~Soren Kierkegaard <cite>Crepes posted [p:925915061] in Mia Khalif...
