Recently I noticed that Jenna Jameson's face has been plastered all over the web and on TV. She was on LA Ink and MTV's Cribs in the last 6 weeks (give me a break, I like to relax while watching mindless TV) and let me tell you, she has a lot to write home about. Her house, jewelry and clothing were amazing. Since I am not a fan of porn I never realized how much she was actually earning from her website and "movies". From what I learned, she manages all of her own finances, operates her websites, owns a production company and started a clothing line. Not bad for starting in amateur porn.I find myself both intrigued and disgusted by her all at the same time. I envy her shit-kicker attitude and drive yet am disgusted because she is in the porn industry and is exploiting women. And, I often feel guilty for liking her business sense. I feel like she has broken through the glass ceiling yet the shards of glass are cutting my skin. Does that make any sense?
It is quite possible that I am super hard on her (in my mind) because she is a woman. Maybe I am catering to the double standard. I do not really hate Ron Jeremy...but I really don't think of him much either. Who is another example...let me think...President Clinton. I thought he was a great president and when I look back on his presidency now that Hilarie is in the spotlight, I really do not think about the whole Monica Lewinsky thing. So why can I not look past the dark side of successful women?
Ok, I would like to hear your thoughts on this topic. Are you too hard on women? Are you an equal opportunity hater? Do you tend to favor men? What are your thoughts on women who find success in shady places?
