Maryam Haley didn't belong in porn. She obviously didn't possess the emotional armour for it. She belonged as someone's wife. And she could have been. Easily. The recriminations from this will run and run, because as a "lamb to the slaughter", she's perfect fodder for the Lubbens of this world... but sorry, I don't buy it.

I don't know why these girls make the choices they do. It's undeniably tragic, but blaming porn consumers is pathetic. It's women that wield the sexual power in this (civilized, western) world. Behind every girl like Maryam there are always the men she left in her wake, the nice guys who would have taken care of her, but that she showed no interest in.

It's because of girls like Maryam that half of us are such bitter, cynical fucks in the first place. So am I going to share in the blame? No fucking way.
