There is nothing "natural" about that act." ~Jeffreys, The Idea Of Prostitution
Feel free to spin that as a misrepresentation. I'm dying to hear it.
They're not being misrepresented, they're being (rightly) disinfected by good old-fashioned sunlight, and possibly mocked. I'm not sure what you feel is being "misrepresented" in this thread: Jeffreys is a known bigot where transgendered persons are concerned (big hint: insisting repeatedly that transgendered women aren't women, or aren't quite women, or aren't women enough, is bigotry), and the sex workers she's trying to "save" from "prostitute abuse" (i.e. their chosen job) detest her and her ideas with every cell in their brains. Gail Dines feels women's sexuality is best expressed by not being expressed at all, lest some man find it erotic. All of this is completely verifiable via a simple Google search. They are not feminists, at least not where sexuality is concerned; they are antisex activists. Those two things are not only not the same, they are antithetical.
(my apologies for butting into your group, guys- blame Meta. I'll just be moving along now.)
