I’m glad that Craigslist is getting rid of the erotic services section

Posted by Aphrodite Phoenix on May 18, 2009

I want everything to go back to normal…and by normal I mean less of us getting arrested. The Craigslist busts are legendary by now, and I know more about it than I want to.

If there’s no more Craigslist Erotic Services section, then the clients will go back to looking for us at all the places they used to…and that’s where we’ll go back to advertising….remember those places, like the Boston Phoenix? Escorts.com? A lot less of us were getting busted through those.

Of course, that’s my ONLY cause for being glad about escorts getting ousted from Craigslist. The “reason”  for the ousting is ridiculous…because of the killer in Boston? We all know that’s just an excuse. (They haven’t ousted jogging paths or coed colleges, right?  But more female joggers and female college students have gotten murdered than all the harmed escorts in the world put together).  Nah…the real reason is, we’re just hated. By people who don’t understand us. By people who ought to appreciate us….even the soccer moms.

  1. Getting rid of the adult services section of Craig’s List isn’t stopping the arrest of sex workers. When you make it harder for sex workers to advertise online, that could just push them out onto the streets, where these workers are more likely to be arrested and assaulted. In this case, the problem wasn’t with Craig’s List Erotic Services section, which some independent sex workers depended on to make a living, but the anti-prostitution laws.
