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?

  • @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)

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)
