Playing the Whore
- ... that in Playing the Whore, Melissa Gira Grant criticizes that debate over whether sex work is exploitative or empowering dissuades analysis of systemic issues inside and outside the industry? Source: "Beyond Gender Politics? Mainstreaming the Study of Sex Work", Perspectives on Politics. Quote: "The crux of her impassioned argument, though, is that the exploitation/empowerment dichotomy distracts us from examining "the systemic forces constraining workers' power, on the job and off.""

@Bilorv: Date and length fine. However the hook fact needs citing inline and maybe made a bit more explicit (pardon the pun) in the article. Also, the source should have the ISSN number for the periodical included. Also from a personal view in order to make it a little more hooky, it might be best to end the hook at "empowering". QPQ is done with no close paraphrasing. Please ping me once you've had a chance to look over it and I'll take another look. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 08:22, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Grant criticizes a debate between all sex work being "expolitation" or "empowerment" as a false dichotomy, viewing this as dissuading analysis of systemic issues within the sex industry, and systemic issues which cause people to enter the industry.
As to the hook suggestion, how about this wording:

I have to AGF on the source as it is offline, but ALT1 looks good to go now. Rest of the review as above. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 10:06, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
