An excellent dissection of a well-meaning but horribly misguided article in favor of chivalry

A good article on The nonviolent philosophy of clinic escorts
Feministing interviews the ever-awesome Audacia Ray, feminist, activist, co-founder of Sex Work Awareness, author of Naked on the Internet: Hookups, Downloads and Cashing in on Internet Sexploration, director of The Bi Apple, and generally rockin' woman
Metal Foam: nifty!

You pretty much just described the 80s, prior to the FACE act. It's what was necessary, and no, it _really_ wasn't better.

First and foremost, we need to not make the scene out front about us; it's about getting the patients and their companions in safely, and with a minimum of escalation. The more escalated things are outside, the scarier it is for the patients. It's why we don't even have the pro-choice protestors directly in front of the clinic (they demonstrate on the nearest corner, instead).
