79. I am saddened by this thread.
Too many posts attacking Tuck on the way she looks. She is a human being. Whatever you think of the porn industry, this is about a woman who is trying to keep her job. She's right to compare her situation to the Clinton "marijuana scandal." However, what she did wasn't even criminal.

I think "occupationalism" is a problem, too. I don't know if it's a real word, but I consider "occupationalism" to be a broad generalization about a person based on their occupation. For instance, "all female gym teachers are lesbians" is occupationalism. "Porn stars are all immoral" is another prejudice. :(
