Playing the Whore: The Work of Sex Work by Melissa Gira Grant
3.0
The book raises interesting points, but often failed to flesh them out into anything more than assertions, which should not be confused with arguments. Meh.
Something I did appreciate from the book was the closer look taken at many studies whose results are oft-quoted but seldom examined in other feminist theory/writings. For example: dismantling the "research" used to back varying claims that Craigslist was responsible for the increased sex trafficking of underage girls in some US states.
