Sasha Grey Uses Porn Imagery to Decry Unequal Pay Between Men, Women: VIDEO

Sasha Grey was a hardcore porn star and she's proud of it.

And now, women of the world, she wants you to know that too. In a recent NSFW YouTube video she boasts about how many "dirty things" she's done in her former career (she has since gone mainstream).

All this in the name of equal pay between men and women. Yep:


Grey is shilling for Equal Pay Day (April 17 stateside), a Belgian movement that decries that country's 22 percent gender gap when it comes to gettin' paper for men and women. (The gap is about the same in the U.S.).

The video, apparently shot in L.A., wants to shock you into understanding that women should have more options than having to use their sexuality and their bodies to equal or better men when it comes to income.

But in the process it uses Grey's sexuality (and the bodies of others who are having sex in the background) to make the point.

In fact the video is NSFW:

Grey says:

I've been hung upside down and tied up ... [crazy porn scene description]. It's something I chose to do. I'm proud of this. It's who I am. I'm Sasha Grey.

You sure are. The video ends with the kicker:

Porn is about the only way to make more money than men.

Agreed?

Bullshit. Women who work legitimate jobs are making more than men. It is why there has been a large increase in stay-at-home dads. The women that cry about pay are just too lazy to find a good job. There are ALWAYS options. For anyone to resort to doing porn goes to show what their mentality is. They have to use appearance for profit because they are completely useless on the inside. Sasha Grey is no exception. But I would say she has more parasites then a month old pork chop.

"Sasha Grey Uses Porn Imagery to Decry Unequal Pay Between Men, Women"

I try to use common sense to EXPLAIN the unequal pay:

Nolaw yet has closed the gender wage gap — not the 1963 Equal Pay forEqual Work Act, not Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, not the1978 Pregnancy Discrimination Act, not the 1991 amendments to TitleVII, not affirmative action (which has benefited mostly white women,the group most vocal about the wage gap -http://tinyurl.com/74cooen),not diversity, not the countless state and local laws andregulations, not the horde of overseers at the Equal EmploymentOpportunity Commission, and not the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.... Norwill a "paycheck fairness" law work.

That'sbecause pay-equity advocates continue to overlook the effects offemale AND male behavior:

Despitethe 40-year-old demand for women's equal pay, millions of wives stillchoose to have no pay at all. In fact, according to Dr. ScottHaltzman, author of "TheSecrets of Happily Married Women,"stay-at-home wives, including the childless who represent anestimated 10 percent, constitute a growing niche. "In the pastfew years,” he says in a CNNreport at http://tinyurl.com/6reowj, “many women who are welleducated and trained for career tracks have decided instead to stayat home.” (“CensusBureau data show that 5.6 million mothers stayed home with theirchildren in 2005, about 1.2 million more than did so a decadeearlier....” at http://tinyurl.com/qqkaka.If indeed more women are staying at home, perhaps it's becausefeminists and the media have told women for years that female workersare paid less than men in the same jobs — so why bother working ifthey're going to be penalized and humiliated for being a woman. Yet,if "greedy, profit-obsessed" employers could get away withpaying women less than men for the same work, they would not hire aman – ever.)

Asfull-time mothers or homemakers, stay-at-home wives earn zero. Howcan they afford to do this while in many cases living in luxury?Because they're supported by their husband, an “employer” whopays them to stay at home.

Feminists,government, and the media ignore what this obviously implies: Ifmillions of wives are able to accept no wages and live as well astheir husbands, millions of other wives are able to:

-acceptlow wages-refuseovertime and promotions-choosejobs based on interest first, pay second — men tend to do theopposite -workpart-time instead of full-time (“According to a 2009 UK study forthe Centre for Policy Studies, only 12 percent of the 4,690 womensurveyed wanted to work full time”: http://bit.ly/ihc0tlSee also an Australian report at http://tinyurl.com/862kzes)-ta...more unpaid days off-avoiduncomfortable wage-bargaining (http://tinyurl.com/3a5nlay)

Allof which LOWER WOMEN'S AVERAGE PAY.

Womenare able to make these choices because they are supported — oranticipate being supported — by a husband who must earn more thanif he'd chosen never to marry. (Still, even many men who shunmarriage, unlike their female counterparts, feel their self worth istied to their net worth.) This is how MEN help create the wage gap.If the roles were reversed so that men raised the children and womenraised the income, men would average lower pay than women.

Afterword:The power in money is not in earning it (there is onlyresponsibility, sweat, and stress in earning money). The power inmoney is in SPENDING it. And, Warren Farrell says in The Myth ofMale Power athttp://www.warrenfarrell.org/T...,"Women control consumer spending by a wide margin invirtually every consumer category." (Women's control overspending, adds Farrell, gives women control over TV programs.) "Arecent research study revealed that the average woman spends eightyears of her life shopping [spending] -- over 300 shopping trips peryear. Men, only a fraction of that." -

Bythe way, thenext Equal Occupational Fatality Day is in 2020. Year2020 is how far into the future women must work to experience thesame number of work-related deaths that men experienced in 2009alone.http://mjperry.blogspot.com/20...

Uh, wait a minute. In porn it is universally understood that women earn more than their male counterparts.Often much,much more. Is this the inequality that miss "Grey" is speaking of? I find her position a little confusing. Perhaps she should save her energy for her comeback.

wow you're an idiot. Sasha was trying to point out that woman should make more money than men without having to do porn. Then again this video is poorly edited to reach its point out and the dumb bitch aint that smart herself. Sorry for calling you an idiot sir.

No offense taken.I should've watched all the way to the tag line at the end. To me ,the whole ad seemed more like an infomercial for the "Sasha Grey" brand rather than a sincere PSA . Make no mistake, this lady would pimp out our teenage daughters in a hollywood minute.Will I buy what she is selling? Naw, dude.
