RedBook: The Zagat of the Sex Trade


I don't know where to begin. At the risk of sounding like a bleeding heart, there is so much wrong with this, it's overwhelming. First off, as the title infers, this is the Zagat of the sex trade, meaning that human beings, women, have been reduced to less than the sum of their parts. Specifically, they have been reviewed piecemeal. Even more specifically, these women (some perhaps, even underage) have been rated on looks, service, and anything else you care to imagine. The laundry list of categories in which these working girls are rated include: personality, build, breasts, smell, and my personal favoritte, "kitty." Second, they are being reviewed as products. Each one of them has a price hanging over their head. These women, these teenage girls, are for rent. Third, the site regards this as business as usual. And so do the customers, otherwise this dehumanizing business would cease to exist. But don't take my word for it, learn more from this sample review.
