Just thought it "might" spark some words of reply??? Especially her last line;

Please don't be so quick to call us hookers, to judge us. We could be your mother, your sister, your girlfriend, your daughter. Even your college professor.

Thanks Carlotta, did you see the editorial in today's Sun? I beleive its a reprint from an article that appeared in the Economist. It's called the "Backlash against Prostitution". A good read.

Good to see more girls getting out there and telling it how it is (or at least how they percieve it). Good to see she's not being condemned as some have for speaking out. More power to her!!

Damnit I had a long post about how much I liked that article but my comp deleted it. Farking thing. Derek what's the editorial in The Vancouver Sun say? What do they mean by Backlash?

The article's headline states that that "Attitudes towards commercial sex are hardening in Europe and North America. But tougher laws are wrong in both principle and practice." It's requoted from London's Economist Newspaper
