Travels in Pornland

The Essay, "Travels in Pornland" focuses on the subculture of raunchy porn stars. The author, goes to L.A.  where it really all takes place and gets to witness it first hand. The author examines their subculture by exposing herself to this world that consisted of men and women alike, participating in sexual acts to put out into the web. She takes note of not just the acts they do, some which, she doesn't quite understand and leaves her cringing, but by diving into detail about what these group of people look like and how they act. She described them as white, heterosexual and conventional She felt as though it didn't represent real people.
   Andrea Stuart presents herself as an admirer of this particular subculture. She isn't directly a part of it, as she isn't a porn star herself, but she is a writer who worked at feminist magazines. She says herself, she was, "transfixed by the pleasure-loving, sex-positive model of feminism that the third-wavers espoused." (Staurt 253). Feminism is the political statement in the essay and I would even say is the prominent theme. My question would be, why does she consider herself a third-wave feminist?
