I'm republishing a lot of articles on the blog, and it occurs to me that 'Sex workers and Violence against Women: Utopic Visions or Battle of the Sexes?' might appeal to your readers: http://www.nodo50.org/Laura_Agustin/sex-workers-and-violence-against-women-utopic-visions-or-battle-of-the-sexes Of course, I mostly write about migration and 'trafficking', but the same arguments apply.

Have you heard of Wendy McElroy? She's an individualist feminist (iFeminist) whose views on issues like pornography and sex work put her at odds with traditional gender feminists. "Since the nineteenth century, this rich tradition has argued for women's rights on the basis of self-ownership: that is, it is a woman's body, it is a woman's right. Individualist feminism consistently applies this principle to all issues affecting women, including sexual ones. Radical feminists argue that women all have the same collective interest, and only one sexually proper choice. Individualist feminists celebrate the diverse sexuality of individual women." Her book on pornography, XXX: A Woman's Right to Pornography, touches on the themes you discuss in your post. If you haven't read it, I'd humbly recommend it. I found it refreshing and educational. It's even available for free online: http://www.wendymcelroy.com/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.16 Excellent post. Have you heard of Wendy McElroy?
