Alas, a sell out

I understand that Ampersand (of Alas, A Blog) has lately found himself in financial difficulties and therefore has sold his website to pornography advertisers. Unsurprisingly, this has won him much deserved criticism from the radfem bloggers, who feel, for some reason that making money out of the subordination of women is kinda, you know, crappy. But I like to think of myself as helpful and thoughtful in the good ol’ feminine tradition, so I hereby present Ampersand with some advice he might like to take the next time he feels like selling out.

10 things to do instead of selling your website to advertisers of porn

1. Find a cheaper website.
2. Cut out all of the antifeminist comments on your website, and voila! suddenly you don’t need nearly as much bandwidth and therefore pay less.
3. Get a paper round.
4. Take out a loan.
5. Busk.
6. Sell your website to those who advertise woman friendly products.
7. Shower off that male privilege that drips from you.
8. Think.
9. Take notice of all the feminists and all the women who have testified as to the harm of pornography, who have analysed the script of pornography, who have worked with sex industry survivors, who are sex industry suvivors…  just do some research already.
10. Actually give a damn about women.
