Likewise. I had no idea that the prevalence of exploitation in the sex industry was even controversial before this exchange. Another aspect of this exchange I find very fascinating is the tendency to look at every activity from the one-dimensional perspective of labor theory. This leads to some frankly absurd oversimplifications e.g. comparing sex work with factory labor. I thought it was one of the evils of capitalism that it reduces all form of work to some fungible, quantifiable labor. Which makes it even more surprising to see that type of analysis from Marxists. I'd like to read the work of Laura Agustin (whose ideas on first glance seem very problematic to me) in some detail and perhaps revisit this subject at a later date. -raghu. -- My fallacies are more logical than your fallacies. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
