I am both a student, a feminist, and a kinky blogger who writes under an assumed name.
I turned in my last paper of the semester this morning and in that paper I pulled huge quantities of information word for word from this blog with minimal editing. After I copied and pasted the information into my paper and changed a few personal pronouns I realized that if she ran my paper through the universities anti-plagiarism system there would be one really huge chunk of perceived plagiarism, and way more little incidences of potential plagiarism. After all, I wrote my paper about many of the same things I've blogged about.
I put myself out there on this blog and have a generally good response to putting myself out there, but if push comes to shove and I have to out myself, I believe it'll be worth it. Because everything happens for a reason, and after all you never put anything out on the internet that you don't want put on your permanent record.
