N.Y. Times Opinion: Stormy Daniels Is a 'Feminist Hero'

NEW YORK — The New York Times today posted an opinion piece by Jill Filipovic titled, “Stormy Daniels, Feminist Hero,” a frank discussion on how many Americans perceive Daniels as a sex worker indicting a powerful man.

Filipovic, author of “The H Spot: The Feminist Pursuit of Happiness” and a frequent contributing writer for the Times, delves into current events surrounding President Trump and Daniels, the adult superstar and host of the 2019 XBIZ Awards, and comes out with a straightforward conclusion.

“We are far from transcending the pervasive assumption that a woman’s sexual decisions are decisive of her character and her integrity,” Filipovic writes. “In many swaths of the country, Ms. Daniels continues to be written off as a pole-dancing Hester Prynne — a woman not to be trusted.

“We’re seeing a woman who refuses to wear either a scarlet letter or a superwoman cape, and she stands in sharp contrast to a self-aggrandizing president who may face serious consequences once this all unspools,” Filipovic writes.

“The potential triumph of a deeply imperfect woman over a powerful man won’t exactly break a glass ceiling. But it could put a little crack in a stereotype just as tough to shatter.”

The article also will be published inside the Times’ print edition on Sunday.
