"A Girl Can Dream" Comic From Modern Hooker

Comic by Modern Hooker. Used with permission from the artist.

I love this comic. It just says what ought to be official policy. If, and only if, sex-work isn’t going to go away using all the methods available of course… oh wait! Making it illegal doesn’t seem to make it safe. In fact, instead, since sex-workers can’t call the police, or even solicit orders from the chief of police, or even collaborate on street safety without risking running afoul of RICO anti-racketeering statutes, or even having _all their property summarily confiscated if they show up on police radar at all.

Another image, though, from her “borrow” page

Her blog over at Wordpress is pretty sharp too.

You link to the awesomest things, figleaf.

(also, the word verification I have right now is “tampering brashly”. What an awesome pair of words!)

I was with the comic 99% – the 1% that got to me was the word “her”. Prostitutes are pretty clearly NOT all female! Other than that… yeah.

i couldn’t have said it better myself. the government only protects the people with privilege. thankfully, i feel that, at least on the surface, president obama is working to change that. let’s see how far he’ll take us; let’s see how far we’ll take us. . . :)
