Sasha Grey on Female Sexuality and Liberation

Sasha Grey wrote a response to an earlier article run by the University of California-Santa Barbara student newspaper Daily Nexus. I found myself nodding emphatically to everything she said. Bright, sexy and beautiful! Of course, the haters chimed in at the comments section and from what I could tell, both of them were male. Go figure.

Says Sasha:

I am a very sexually healthy young woman and I take pride in the liberation of female sexuality, I have a cause, I am determined, and I am a hard worker (pun intended). As a sex symbol, with an intellectual stance, I am and will continue to be vilified, and I am ok with that…in fact I am content; it gives me the opportunity to shed the light on the darker areas of sex and validate the insecurities of sexually repressed women. The days of victimized, disturbed porn stars (and civilian women) are fading away… I am the new breed.

Terrifying words for those who defend the sexual status quo. But, oh, does she speak the truth!
