cinelli 22184 Report post Posted November 19, 2013 Emily, it is not a bad article. It is very hard for some ladies to get out of the escorting business. A few years ago one ex-SP tried to work at a grocery store, and within a few days guys on the other board were talking about it. One SP even went so far as to tell people which store it was. Can you imagine how hard it would be for someone as well known as Houston to drop the "Houston" identity and get a square job? Who could she trust? She would be constantly worrying about someone finding out her past. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scribbles 6031 Report post Posted November 20, 2013 I think the article is only terrible if it is taken in the context of impartiality. This article is about how difficult it can be for some women to leave the sex industry. And, it can be. Maybe some don't have as difficult a time, and certainly some choose not to leave the industry. But, that isn't the point at issue in this article, which is why I mostly don't have an issue with it. *Mostly* The title implies homogeneity. There is an implication that these few women represent the opinion of all women in porn. That is misleading, which isn't territory that is exclusive to Fox News, unfortunately. Having done a fair bit of recent study of scholarly articles written about the sex industry, I'm discovering that pretty universally the experiences of a few are used to describe the reality of a far greater and more diverse number.
