LOL: Atheist Feminist Pornographer Used as Moral Authority in T-shirt Row
Source: theden.tv
Dr. Matt Taylor was thrust into the headlines this last week, largely for his lead role in successfully landing a spacecraft on a comet 300 million miles from earth that travels at a speed of 85,000 mph. In short, Taylor and his colleagues pulled off one of the most amazing achievements in contemporary science and space exploration, and in a different era, would have been properly recognized for this monumental achievement.
Instead, Taylor was singled out by idiotic and disgruntled feminists for the T-shirt he wore to the presser announcing he and his team’s success. It’s the type of shirt that guys who look like Taylor usually wear, a bowling-esque shirt with bright and colorful pictures and so on. The feminists took umbrage to the shirt because it had depictions of early 20th century pin-up girls, which somehow sent a message that women aren’t wanted or respected in science, or some such.
As this tweet shows, the shirt itself was made and designed by Taylor’s female friend, an uncomfortable reality that the feminists and their Brahmin allies have had to dodge since this fact came to light:
I made a shirt for one of my close pals @mggtTaylor for his b'day. Did not expect this!! #shirtgate #shirtstorm #Rosetta #Shirt #sewing

She also edits Paying For It: A Guide by Sex Workers for their Clients and the Best Erotic Comic anthology. The last editions of both were exquisite, and currently sit on my family’s coffee table, providing endless hours of discussion for myself, my wife and our two young children.
Christina, in the linked piece above, describes herself as a “pornographer” who’s “written pornography, produced it, published it, edited it, sold it, bought it, reviewed it, modeled for it, narrated it, read it publicly, and performed in it,” and who’s also “written, produced. published, edited, sold, bought, reviewed, modeled for, narrated, read, and performed in pornographic fiction, video, photography, comics, and probably other media I can’t remember now,” somehow decides to take the posture of moral authority regarding Dr. Taylor’s t-shirt.
You see, an unabashed pornographer who’s pushed the industry from a number of media, wants you to know that her work isn’t harmful, but that Dr. Taylor’s shirt certainly is in this money shot of a paragraph from Christina:
As a feminist — and as a pornographer — I think this was sexist, demeaning, and wildly inappropriate. There are appropriate places and times to wear clothing with sexual imagery on it — sex parties, erotica readings, erotic art openings, I can probably think of a few others. But the very public announcement of a major event in the history of scientific discovery — landing a robot on a comet! — is not one of those places or times.The sheer audacity of the woman is breathtaking, as she continues on, noting that Dr. Taylor’s t-shirt is far more emblematic of the continued sexual objectification of women, rather than an industry that chews up and spits out it’s female performers, sometimes with tragic consequences.
