Even when it came to herself, Margo could see it both ways: hometown girl makes good, defies capitalist patriarchy, or teen whore sells nudes while nursing, too lazy to work.

CBR17 Bingo: Review It’s because you know. It’s because you’re in control of it! That is what makes someone slutty or not slutty! Think about it.
