Miss Absynthe, I actually think some people here are saying those cases are so few and far between that they shouldn't be considered against the tremendous amount of abuse and enslavement that occurs in the industry.

But your previous statement was a pretty good summation of what needed to be said. The rush to de-glamorize sex work has pushed opinion too far in the other direction. I was particularly glad to see your comment about job choices, and how having to choose a job like working at walmart could be portrayed as "slavery" in a certain light.
