You make a very convincing argument for the cockrock noisy sex-positivity stuff, and consider me convinced! :)

But: the disability fail stuff is quite argh. There's lots in her act that seems to be massively bombastic and attention-grabbing, *and of course fair enough because she's a performer and it's her prerogative and it's about time*, *but*, this isn't an appropriate way to get headlines, I think.

In addition (ie. not excusing the disability fail - I'm less well-versed in the racefail btw) of course she's going to get the media leaping on her *whatever* she does. And the noisy sex-positivity is worth cheering and getting behind, as is the radical headline-grabbing (where it doesn't fail).
