Minori Kitahara, 35, is the owner of Love Piece Club, Japan's first sex-toy shop owned by a woman and catering exclusively to women. She believes that women deserve their sexual fun and games and she has just the right toys for them.
My kind of feminism is not anti-pornography. Most feminists believe that porn is for men and that it is terrible to make money on sex. I disagree: Porn is fun and doesn't exploit women. Women appearing in porn do it as work and get paid for it.
It's the world that's screwed up, not me. As a teenager I had long hair and was into boys, but at school I was told that my behavior was not girlish enough so I thought something was wrong with me. I felt awkward and searched for answers, and feminist writings saved me from my self-loathing. Those books told me that I was OK.
