Outed porn star Belle Knox has been dealing with a load of BS ever since some frat boy dingus exposed her at her college, Duke. Today she took to xoJane and Playboy to explain her life and why she doubles as a porn star and student. To be honest, if you have to pay the bills and this does it, go for it. Let’s see what she has to say in best parts of her interview. Via Playboy:

PLAYBOY: What kind of “voice within the industry” would you like to be?

KNOX: I want society to recognize that sex work is a legitimate profession, meaning equal protection under the law and freedom from discrimination within hiring practices. I also want society to recognize that there’s humanity behind the billion-dollar industry that it consumes every day.

I think the industry needs a feminist advocate as well. There are a lot of anti-porn feminists who try to speak out against exploitation in the industry, but we need somebody who can advocate for women while standing up for our right to sexual autonomy. Because so many women absolutely love the porn industry. At the same time, I want to raise awareness for how badly we treat sex workers and how that needs to change for us to have any type of real change in the industry.

The funny thing about anti-porn feminists is that they state that they want to protect these women from objectification, whilst simultaneously criticizing and objectifying those they claim to want to protect. It’s like when someone you’re in an argument with ends it with, “Oh, I’ll pray for you.” Yeah, no they won’t.

PLAYBOY: In your xoJane piece, you wrote that your experience in porn “has been nothing but supportive, exciting, thrilling and empowering.”Do you think that there are certain types of porn or companies whose work is more empowering for female performers than others?

KNOX: My main concern is I want to make sure that I’m working with somebody who treats its performers ethically. Yeah, sex-positive pornography is great, but I also love rough sex. I’ve gotten a lot of criticism because, literally, the first thing I ever did was this rough, blow-job thing—and everybody’s gotten super mad at me, calling it “rape porn” and stuff like that. But I enjoyed doing it, because I really like shit like that.

Interesting. I’ve never been so intrigued by a well-spoken porn star talking about how she liked rough sex before, but here we are.

PLAYBOY: Do you feel like there are certain lines that should be drawn about porn being too close to rape in certain circumstances—especially by porn performers?

KNOX: There are all types of sexual play, all types of sexual preferences and all types of sexual desire. I think that as long as everything is consensual and legal between all parties, it’s fine. We have free speech in this country so I stand by the right of female performers to engage in rough sex scenes. If it’s something you enjoy doing, more power to you.

That’s one of those things I really dislike. I dislike when people tell you what you can and can’t do with your body. Similarly to when old people in the Government telling women what they can and can’t do with their bodies. First of all, shut up. That’s all that needs to be said.

PLAYBOY: There’s been a lot written about how younger men watch so much porn that it completely informs their ideas about sex and influences their relationships—whether its expecting their partners to want a facials or to try a million positions. Do you find that men that you are seeing romantically or hooking up with have expectations about sex that have come from porn? And is that a problem?

KNOX: I don’t personally think that it’s a problem or that porn creates unrealistic expectations for women. If you’re dating a guy who wants you to do everything that porn girls do, he’s an asshole and you should probably dump him. What I advocate for is for partners to be communicative and mindful of their partner’s boundaries. I totally recommend for couples to watch porn together because it will give them some kinky ideas. But if getting a facial isn’t your partner’s cup of tea, that’s totally fine!

I do think it’s hypocritical that, as you said, probably every person my age is watching porn, yet those same people are bullying me and calling me a slut for making porn.

She’s spot on, again! You can’t call a girl insulting things, and then run home, light candles around your laptop, and then add to the mountain of socks in the corner of the room without being a hypocrite. I think that’s in the Bible. (*flips through Bible*) Wait, this is Calvin and Hobbes.

PLAYBOY: You wrote that one of the main reasons you did porn was to pay for school and not be saddled with large student loans once you graduated. Would you be doing porn if Duke were free?

KNOX: No. If Duke had given me the proper financial resources, I wouldn’t have done porn. They have nobody to blame for the scandal but themselves.

Duke is expensive, and if I could pull off porn to pay for college, I’d do it. However, male talent doesn’t get paid nearly as much, I hear. I would think it would be cool to go to school with her. She goes to Duke, so she’s obviously intelligent. Who cares if she does porn? She’s living the college dream! In between classes, she’s having sex, and getting paid for it! Imagine if that was a story you could tell? Exactly.

What’s also interesting is at the time I started writing this, her Twitter account was up, and midway through finishing this, her Twitter account was suspended. CONSPIRACY!
