I had never really thought about this. Thank you for bringing it to our attention, Phyllis, and thank you, Jody Williams for your courage, hard work, and dignity.

This is a true feminist issue. We must not forget.

Jody put it well about second guessing. This is a very common problem for all women but for those struggling to leave the “master-slave” bondage, the terror of it all rules far too easily. Jody is a remarkable woman and your piece, Phyllis, speaks to the essence of terrorism – no matter what form it takes. Thank you for writing about this.

Dear Dr. Chesler:

Thank you for your interview with this courageous woman. The mainstream feminist movement ought to be devoting far more attention to this issue.

I have been told that there are many male prostitutes in Thailand who cater to a gay clientele. In all likelihood, there are male prostitutes in the United States and other countries as well. I wonder whether Sex Workers Anonymous includes gay sex workers, or whether there are separate organizations to represent them.
I have never heard of lesbian prostitutes. Does any reader know whether they exist? I have certainly heard of gigolos, male prostitutes who cater to women, and I wonder how they function when they are not sexually excited.
