I...This post touched me deeply, and angered me too. I was in a similar situation in college, although I was not, at that time, a sex worker. I was humiliated by the doctor at the college hospital, and told I deserved what I got by my relatives, because of the 'way I dressed.' I did not report the crime. I am inspired by 2L's story, and will look up the organization for helping sex workers and see if I can help in some way too.<BR/><BR/>Glad I found you surfing Facebook networked blogs. :-)Lisa Wineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924029943550959553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526275581987963914.post-29067984966789339732008-12-21T19:16:00.000-05:002008-12-21T19:16:00.000-05:00Interesting article...Happy blogging,Female Fertil...Interesting article...<BR/><BR/>Happy blogging,<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://bestwomancare.com/" REL="nofollow">Female Fertility|Infertility</A>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05757276084854510978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526275581987963914.post-14809603878706540652008-12-20T10:51:00.000-05:002008-12-20T10:51:00.000-05:00FeministGal, thanks for your words of encouragemen...FeministGal, thanks for your words of encouragement! I'm going to Ole Miss for their Southern Studies Master's program with a concentration in documentary fieldwork. <BR/><BR/>Psychology is a great field!

I also want to pass along that she wrote of planning to use her future pro-bono time to provide legal aid to sex workers, female, male, and transgendered. She also made me aware of the legal aid program, the Sex Workers' Project, that compiles statistics and offers legal assistance and training specifically for sex workers as a division of the Urban Justice Center in NYC. I wanted to make sure to put this info up here for anyone else who may need it, with her permission to quote the message she wrote to me. <BR/><BR/>I am constantly amazed by the strength and courage women possess post traumatic experiences, especially in cases of sexual assault. Not only is "2L" using her experience to speak out and help others but she plans to work for legal changes in the future. That's incredible, brave, and empowering.Radical Remindershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09155472776262393597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526275581987963914.post-36355351075057467512008-12-18T10:02:00.000-05:002008-12-18T10:02:00.000-05:00Sorry, but if she wants her story told, I think sh...Sorry, but if she wants her story told, I think she gets the right to decide where and when.

And pretty much gives free reigns to violent "johns." <BR/><BR/>Is the University taking any action against the asst prof?<BR/><BR/>I don't know much about the laws in these kinds of cases. But I was under the assumption that one is innocent until proven guilty and even criminals are protected under the constitution. <BR/><BR/>This story really saddens me.shrink on the couchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13271891110211081990noreply@blogger.com
