After almost a decade, Mia has transitioned to become a modern public figure and influencer, rated the number one emerging influencer of 2022 by Lefty. After speaking out a few years ago regarding her experience with contractual exploitation in the adult film industry, Khalifa has worked to educate women about the dangers of exploitation in the field, and will be taking to the stage to talk about boundaries, both personal and professional. ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe. The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here: https://oxford-union.org/supportus

What’s the point of doing the hard things in life when you can get where you want to be by using your body instead of your mind and degrading yourself. There are other places she can speak about her struggles, maybe podcasts and tv shows but not a place where hard work and dignity should be primordial. ....وسعت 236

    @justlarry8945قبل 4 أشهر In an unexpected departure from its traditional line up of esteemed speakers, the Oxford Union made waves in 2023 by inviting a figure of considerable id="hidden24" class="buttons"> controversy to its prestigious stage. The decision to feature a former adult film actress, reminiscent of provocateurs from centuries past such as courtesans like Veronica Franco in the 16th century or the bold writer Aphra Behn in the 17th century, left many aghast. This departure from the historical norm, where institutions typically favoured figures challenging societal norms in subtler ways, underscores a noteworthy shift in the Union's approach to inclusivity. The choice to host a personality with parallels to those once considered scandalous figures, like Fanny Hill in the 18th century, amplifies the evolving nature of public discourse and reflects the Union's willingness to engage with voices that historically operated on the peripheries of societal acceptance. ....وسعت 2

It’s pretty rich. We were all 18 once, the vast majority of us chose not to do porn because it is self-evident that it would be embarrassing when everyone sees it, and that it can be viewed for the rest of our lives. I didn’t hear Mia take any responsibility for her actions at all. 21 years old is not that young - most have completed high school and have a degree by that age. Many people are married at that age. She speaks as if she is a victim of pedophilia, but she was a consenting adult. ....وسعت 2

    Parents are working really hard to show their kids a right path for their lives. Advice them and appreciate about hard working, id="hidden26" class="buttons"> social responsibilities and self esteem. You guys here are idolizing and generalising people who have choosen social threatening over hard working with proper skills which can contribute to the well-being of the society.
    You know how hard to keep teenagers away from these disgusting and life threatening things as they are addictive?
    Most of successful people have self discipline which is built and controlled with a great effort. But majority of teenagers are out of control. So a well known platform like you are generalising it? I can't believe my eyes. Shame on me!

Why is it that it's being so normalized to objecify sex to such an extend and turning it into something profitable? id="hidden29" class="buttons"> Not everyone can be respected, not everyone can be accepted. Respect is earned, not given. I don't see anything this woman did to receive that much respect and I don't see any justification of her re-acceptance to society if she did that willingly. Of course she's not the only one to blame here, but it is just mind-boggling to expect people to embrace everything/everybody. Then what's the worth of embracement? What's the value of respect, if it is given to even those who don't deserve it? So ironic that Oxford brands itself as one of the best schools out there but definitely lacks integrity, which is the most important thing. ....وسعت 2
