Khalifa's Pornographic Debut and Her Reign as Queen of Pornhub
Khalifa got her start in porn in a way that most people only dream about. While working a low paying fast food gig, a customer noticed her and asked if she'd ever consider being in a pornographic film. It wasn't just a pick up line. It took her less than a year to unseat 42 year old Lisa Ann as PornHub's top draw.
These days, roughly a quarter of twenty-something adults live with their parents. Khlaifa's career in porn has allowed her to afford her own place and to live comfortably. Sounds impressive, but there are still plenty of people telling Mia Khalifa that she should feel ashamed.
Sex Negative Stereotypes: Khalifa Replies with Wit and Humor
Given the sex-negative stereotypes of countries like Lebanon, maybe it's not surprising that the reaction from Khalifa's country of origin has been less than positive. Oppressive rulers often decry positive expressions of sexuality, and tend not to have a sense of humor.
Luckily, Khalifa seems to have a great sense of humor as evidenced in her Facebook and Twitter feeds. She's prone to snide comments and witty replies to those who seek to shame, insult, or embarrass her. I was delighted to learn that in addition to being brave and hot, Mia Khalifa is also very intelligent and fiercely witty.

The hate being aimed at Khalifa reads like a temper tantrum being thrown by someone desperate for attention. After all, it could be argued that a hijab is a tool of oppression. So, wearing one while rejecting oppression and engaging in a sex act on camera can be seen as a tremendous act of rebellion. Whether you see her as someone celebrating their sexuality, or simply enjoying a high paying job, Khalifa's success is proof that her rejection of repressive attitudes is a great move. While the 21 year old actress doesn't plan on being PornHub's number one draw forever, I hope she can continue without threats from haters.
