Dear APAC: This article might explain why we suddenly seemed to have a problem with interacting with your group once James came onto the scene.   When Feminism Is a Brand — HACK GROW LOVE When Feminism Is a Brand — HACK GROW LOVE We need to talk about the ever increasing number of men like James Deen who utilize feminism as a marketable identity to… View on  medium.com Preview by Yahoo Contrary to the smear campaign going on against us at the moment - we are not: 1.  Anti-sex work. 2.  A "shame based" program. 3.  Blaming the sex industry for our problems or issues. 4.  Trying to outlaw the industry. 5.  Trying to say everyone is a trafficking victim. 6.  Trying to convince everyone in porn to quit and people not to use porn. These are but some of the accusations I've been hearing us accused of since 2015.  Why since 2015? A lot of reasons.  A few include that as a 12 step program when one is
