					<description>If you've been following SKL for the last few years, you'd note that she's been moving to a hard-line radical feminist position on commercial sex for the last few years now.

This was going to be her introduction to &lt;i&gt;Indecent: How I Make It and Fake It as a Girl for Hire&lt;/i&gt;, before she decided to tone it down:

http://markedformetal.livejournal.com/5353.html

She's actually quite close to hard-line radfem blogger Ginmar and to Robert Jensen, and appears in the new anti-porn documentary, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thepriceofpleasure.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Price of Pleasure&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; that was produced by some of Jensen's associates. Her line about &quot;becoming just another john&quot; is lifted straight from Jensen, in fact.

The reason you don't hear about her so much in connection with the more flaming radfem crowd is that she tones her message down a lot. Basically, she's trying to make a living doing fairly low-key sex lit, and if she comes out of the starting gate with a full-scale Gail Dines-style condemnation of modern sexual culture, she's going to lose most of her potential audience right from the get-go. Hence, she'll save a very strong anti-porn bombshell &quot;for the end&quot;, like she did in the above-reviewed book or like she did in her last interview with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blowfish.com/radio/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Radio Blowfish&lt;/a&gt;.

I agree with what you said in that I can't argue with SKL's experience doing sex work – she's done it, I haven't. And even accounting for people who have had more positive experiences with sex work, that doesn't change the fact that her experience could still be very different. That said, I don't agree with her across-the-board condemnation of commercial sex in the least, or with the idea that any consumption of it will hopelessly mess you up. To my mind, that's just her projection based on a very negative experience in an industry she probably shouldn't have been working in to begin with.</description>

					<description>IACB-Thank you so much for that link. I'm going to incorporate it for my upcoming review of Indecent.

What also bothers me about SKL's books is this-She condemns the sex industry out of one side of her mouth while making money off the sex industry out of the other side. How can she be so &quot;scarred&quot; from her work and yet be perfectly comfortable making money off of it?</description>
