No, I'm not making this up. Via Feministe:
Check out SWOP-USA for more information on events taking place today, namely a potluck dinner in NYC.
Because, you know, a potluck dinner is the perfect way to celebrate prostitution.
I can't help but compare this with Echidne's latest complaint about the Quiverfull Movement (the post is titled Today's Unfortunate Thought):
I'm not at all happy with the dogma of the Quiverfull movement. It explicitly denies women's equality and women's rights to their own bodies (which are seen as just on loan from god who wants women to have children) and it also ignores the population pressures on this planet. Why are all fundamentalists always about the total control of women?
Presumably, she'd have no problem whatsoever if the same women were selling their bodies to celebrate their, er, natural abilities. Or something.
