Although I admit that I never considered the possibility that a woman with Ms. Quan's credentials might visit the list, I now wonder whether Marxism-Feminism - a list devoted to issues of sex and the worker - can be quite complete without a voice representing the sex worker. I hope that Ms. Quan and the rest of the list will be tolerant and open with each other, given the likely disparity in our points of reference. Welcome, Comrade Quan. I wonder Ms. Quan, whether you find certain stereotypes of women demeaning to women and destructive to them in the broad societal, political realm. If so, would you nonetheless use the trappings of such a stereotype (clothes, etc.) in your work to satisfy a client's personal preference or are there situations where you might find personal preference too demeaning to women *in general* and therefore politically distasteful? When it comes to prostitution, are there situations where the personal becomes political? peace, boddhisatva
