Mireille Miller-Young of UC Santa Barbara.<\/p><\/div>\n

Mireille Miller-Young, Ph.D. is an esteemed associate professor of feminist studies<\/a> at the University of California, Santa Barbara.\u00a0 Miller-Young has specialties that include \u201crace, gender and sexuality in visual culture and sex industries in the United States.\u201d That means Mireille\u2019s scholarly research focuses primarily on sex, and more specifically on blacks in pornography and sex work.<\/p>\n

Dr. Miller-Young has spent years studying the inequities black sex workers<\/a> face, enduring what she calls \u201cmultiple axes of discrimination and harm.\u201d\u00a0 In her sphere of influence, Mireille works hard to expose \u201cstructural inequalities and social biases black women face in the adult industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

One would think that with those credentials, regardless of a woman\u2019s political persuasion, Mireille\u2019s advocacy of \u201cwomen’s rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men\u201d would embrace and advance those equalities for all women.<\/p>\n

Wrong!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Seems that as a black woman who herself despises being discriminated against, Miller-Young, champion of Feminist & Queer Theory, has zero problem discriminating against and harming women, be they black or white, if those women\u2019s beliefs oppose the professor\u2019s radical view that supports destroying the unborn.<\/p>\n

Based on Mireille\u2019s recent aggressive outburst toward two sisters handing out pro-life literature on the campus of UCSB, the published researcher featured in “C\u2019Lick Me<\/i><\/a>: A Netporn Studies Reader”<\/i> must define her brand of feminism as \u201cwomen’s rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men\u201d \u2013 as long as those political, social and economic views are liberal in nature.<\/p>\n

Mireille bravely ventures into the world of sex workers to do research and analysis of the women who work in the sex trade and the obstacles they face when expressing themselves in a business that oftentimes objectifies and mistreats them. Yet when one 16-year-old, Thrin Short, and her 21-year-old sister Joan expressed their political and social views \u2013 in a designated \u201cfree speech zone,\u201d no less \u2013 Miller-Young physically assaulted Thrin and begrudged the protestors the right that she\u2019s built a career fighting for other women to have.<\/p>\n

Standing on the campus of a public\/taxpayer-funded university, Thrin and Joan handed out 1,000 pro-life pamphlets. That\u2019s when Associate Professor Miller-Young approached the sisters, where several students had gathered around to listen.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Miller-Young has zero problem with pornography or sex worker magazines like $pread<\/i><\/a>, but show up on a public campus with a picture of an aborted fetus, and the open-minded, sexually liberated feminist whose dissertation was entitled A Taste for Brown Sugar: Black Women, Sex Work and Pornography<\/i> goes histrionic.<\/p>\n

The professor will advocate on behalf of women working a pole in an adult night club, but pro-life female minors representing Riverside-based nonprofit Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust best beware! Mireille will steal from you in broad daylight, deny you your right to freedom of expression, and physically assault you.<\/p>\n

Kristina Garza, director of campus outreach for the nonprofit pro-life group, said that at the outset of the campus event Miller-Young approached the area and attempted to lead a small group of feminist\/pro-choice students to protest the Scott sisters.<\/p>\n

Thrin said this about the nutty professor: \u201cBefore she grabbed the sign, she was mocking me and talking over me in front of the students, saying that she was twice as old as me and had three degrees, so they should listen to her and not me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mireille loves to sound off about pornography and black diaspora, but disagree with her rigid opinions, and she will not hesitate to attack you. Dr. Miller-Young may be older than Thrin and technically more educated, but her behavior throughout the video is like a 13-year-old’s.<\/p>\n

After swiping the sign, Miller-Young turned and called the 16-year-old pro-life teen \u201ca terrorist.\u201d Thrin followed Miller-Young as she dragged her wheeled backpack behind her and scurried<\/a> with her group of mean girls through the buildings to the elevator, where Thrin tried to prevent the feminist porn<\/a> professor from disappearing with her property.<\/p>\n
