I finished Year 10 desperate to get out into the real world because I wanted to earn my way into independence. I paid for driving lessons out of my own pocket, had a stable job with a great career in sight, and couldn’t wait to get my driver’s licence so I could go out and explore the world. By the time I hit 17, all I wanted to do was party with my friends and live life. Boys and my own sexuality weren’t important. Fast forward 10 years and girls at that age are nothing like my generation. It’s incredibly scary. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Vivica Delicious) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/sex-industry-not-to-blame-for-child-sexualisation/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/sex-industry-not-to-blame-for-child-sexualisation/#item6825 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 19:40:06 +0000 Vivica Delicious | Author bios | The Punch http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/old-school-feminists-need-to-respect-womens-choices/ Imagine you are a woman in your mid-twenties with the world at your feet. You believe that as a grown woman in Australia, you have the right to express yourself emotionally and sexually. Now imagine that you are hounded and berated for your honesty. You’re constantly insulted for being yourself and standing on your own two feet. Your chosen career is the catalyst for threats and bullying; you are subjected to abuse and scathing remarks. Whether you want to believe it or not, this is the reality many women - including those in the sex industry - face today. And sadly enough the attacks are not solely from men. A lot of the time they are from women - with most of it derived from outdated feminist views. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Vivica Delicious) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/old-school-feminists-need-to-respect-womens-choices/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/old-school-feminists-need-to-respect-womens-choices/#item6721 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 19:55:43 +0000 Vivica Delicious | Author bios | The Punch
