Who is this role model?
I have many role models. My mother, Jenna Jameson, My aunt. Various porn stars. Right now though, I want to talk about the Adult film star who's paying to go to Duke university.
1.) How does this person fit your definition of a role model?
She preaches equality and sexual awareness. She's proud of her job, acknowledges societies fucked up view of people like her and points out that they are all bigotted and unaware of the world's changing social structure.
2.) Why do you look up to him and want to emulate Her?
She was getting harassed for being a porn star. People said things like "i'm sure daddy's proud" and a whole bunch of demeaning things. Even began stalking her and sending anonymous rape threats. She's amazing. She handled the situation by writing an article saying that she is proud of who she is regardless of the uncomfortable situation she was in because of her classmates inability to understand the merit of sex working. She's beautiful and wonderful and mature, well written and knows what the fuck she's talking about.
3.) How will you go about fostering in yourself the characteristics that you admire in him? Or if you already have the characteristics you admire, how have you done so and how are they manifesting themselves in your life?
I do my best to promote sexual freedom and awareness. I plan on working in the sex industry. I've gained the approval of my sister, mother, brother and all the people who matter in my life. But even if I hadn't I would not be ashamed of who I am. I admire everyone's ability to be accepting even if they are in social situations that make it harder to access that ability.
4.) In what ways might you become a role model to the people in your life?
I'm already a role model to people in my life. I've always assumed my "mothering" role. Whether it be for the 12-14 year olds who I taught to deal with their problems and with coming out, or for my sister who I've taught multiple things about following her dreams and whatever else came out naturally at the time. Some people look up to me. And it's honestly a bit uncomfortable. I don't believe that I myself deserve to be shaping people or that I am deserving of the level of respect that comes from having people look up to you. But I try to do what I can with the respect and mold people to be more understanding and compassionate.
I hope this all answers your questions. Bye
