...It is true, for example, that that Dworkin once prostituted herself on the streets, or as she has put it: "I f*cked for food and shelter and whatever cash I needed." This personal experience, the website confirms, "is part of what informs the commitment behind all her writing". When she campaigns against pornography and prostitution, rape and abuse, Dworkin knows whereof she speaks: "The premises of the prostituted woman are my premises."
A lot of prostitutes aren't lookers. I remember some 60 Minutes-type report on the red light district in Amsterdam and those not in the display windows, the unregulated ones, were pretty hideous.
And then there was that hooker Jimmy Swaggert was caught with.
