Also, the money I make from sex work tops up the shitty salary I get for doing the job I love and am qualified for. I have lots of other options, and sex work enhances them all! That’s the beauty of sex work, it will always be there.

And while we’re working “unempowering” jobs to provide for families, provide housing, pay off debt, or fight the economy (ahem, the same reasons we, uh, all go to work, sex workers and others alike…), I’m wondering if the change of altitude is too much for her while she’s so high up on her pedestal.

I repeat here like I do everywhere: you can’t know the stripping world without being completely immersed in it. There is no short stint, no few visits, and no small amount of time that can provide an accurate picture of what’s going on. It’s the same reason girls roll their eyes when babydancers of a month or so think they have it “all figured out.” Except worse, because this shit is printed for the world to see. Ugh. I suppose I’m just doing some sort of exercise in mental masturbation, since it’s a common point.

I suppose if she can judge a strip club in one visit, I can judge her writing in one article: crap. They ought to save the writing space for actual journalism or put up some ads instead.

I agree with MC; a well-written rebuttal. 😉
