A new study from the Journal of Sex Research is breaking the old stereotype of the self destructive porn star. The study claims that porn stars actually have higher self esteem and a better body image.
In the article from the Huffington Post the "Feminist commentator Dawn Foster criticized the study for whitewashing some of the porn industry's seedier aspects. 'It is dangerous to generalize about a huge industry: women who are successful and in control of their careers in one pocket don't speak for women in the less scrutinized parts,' Foster told the Independent. 'The study's main objective seems to be to prove that not all women in porn are exploited: no one has argued that. But glossing over the exploitative aspects helps no one.'"
Does this find say something about the evolution of women? Can a women be considered strong if they are using their bodies to get ahead?
