How many people opposes to Sasha Grey's volunteering would go to Compton to read books?

1. I'm FOR Sasha Grey donating her time. I would also go to Compton to read books.

[seabeyond]

7. so, basically, you are saying she is not allowed to walk away from her past

and really she is here to provide for you. you kinda make the point of what the issue is that so many of the men on these threads does not have enough respect for the woman to allow her past to be just that, they keep her as their personal wanker regardless of what she is doing. even reading books to children. it is the hypocrisy as we lecture those parents on the scarlet A. you are doing no less.

[hifiguy]

20. Wow. That was quite a stretch.

You're reading paragraphs into a straightforward declarative sentence.

[Taverner]

22. Yeah that's what I was thinking

How could wanting a volunteer to donate time = she can't run from her past?

I guess all we have to do is just say the word "porn" and the busybodies come out

[EOTE]

24. Your post makes all kinds of sense.

Well kinda, if I squint a whole bunch. I'm truly glad that you got your requisite slam on men in, though.

[hifiguy]

2. I cannot imagine anyone in their right mind

opposing a literacy project for kids.

[closeupready]

3. Um .... WAT?!? Your question is nonsensical.

[SheilaT]

4. Who is Sasha Grey? What is Compton?

Somehow I'm totally ignorant here.

8. Nice Try

but everyone's onto you. ;-) Just kidding of course.

Actually Sasha Grey is a former porn star and Compton is a not very good part of Los Angeles. Grey is part of a literacy program and was reading to a bunch of young kids. Some, not many, parents and of course the professional whiners at the family research council et al started whining immediately.

Personally I'd be more worried about the home life of any 3rd grade kid that actually knew of Grey's former occupation than the fact that she's reading to the children but maybe that's just me.

10. or, it could have been the tweet she put out letting everyone know what and where she did.

just as likely no one recognized. just as likely no one would have thought twice about it if she didnt advertise it.

[sharp_stick]

11. What could have been the tweet?

sorry I'm not following.

[seabeyond]

12. she tweeted her fans she read to kids and told them what school.

that is probably why anyone knew who she was. otherwise i cannot see anyone caring, let alone knowing she was a porn actress.

[Warren DeMontague]

26. So?

You know what? If she was screaming about how terrible, evil and awful porn is, you wouldn't have any problem with any of this.

But since she's never repented or adopted the proper patriarchy-blaming perspective on the whole thing, she's inconvenient to the narrative, huh.

[Warren DeMontague]

25. so you think a porn star who isn't anti-porn enough for you should stay silent?

I thought you were against silencing opinions. :shrug:

[SheilaT]

18. Thank you.

It's quite interesting what falls under my radar because I don't own a TV and therefore don't get certain kinds of news.

[zonkers]

19. Hey did you know there is a farming/horse community in Compton?

http://richlandfarms.org/Richland_Farms/Welcome.html

It's pretty cool. Also Compton is one of the oldest incorporated cities in the area.

on edit .... great pictures here....http://designeastoflabrea.blogspot.com/2011/08/july-recap-de-lab-heads-to-richland.html

5. Judging by the reaction,

quite a few would in LA.

[Bluenorthwest]

6. I have gone to Compton to read books....

would not oppose anyone else doing so. Who would?

[madmom]

9. As long as she has her clothes on, what's the problem. I'd much rather it be

her the the likes of bush

[Lost-in-FL]

13. I certainly don't. nt

[Demonaut]

14. Saw an interview with her, she's an intelligent and thoughtful woman

granted the interview was about her prior work but I was impressed

[HappyMe]

15. I don't oppose her reading to the kids.

Her past is behind her. She should be commended for volunteering her time.

[NICO9000]

16. Good for her

Who says she can't volunteer to help kids? These fundie fucks are just lusting after her videography and it's killing them!

[HopeHoops]

17. I'd rather have a porn star read to my kids than the shrub.

Then again, the shrub didn't actually READ "My Pet Goat" - too many big words.

[Taverner]

23. BAD things happen to the country when Shrub reads to kids

[HopeHoops]

29. That's EXACTLY what I mean. Ron Jeremy would be a better choice.

:puke:

Sorry, but I can't figure out how he EVER got into the business in the first place.

[Taverner]

21. Go Sasha!

Fuck the haters

[Warren DeMontague]

27. I saw the Grateful Dead play in Compton, once.

Imagine that.

Anyway, I think it was nice of her to take the time to read to the kids. I'm not feeling the outrage.

[BreweryYardRat]

28. I'd go.

I'd be a little nervous, but I'd go.

[ZombieHorde]

30. Good question. I don't understand the outrage. nt
