Where’s My Comeback

Three years ago Melissa Petro wrote a column for HuffPo about being a sex worker; as a result, she lost her job as a teacher. Today she makes her living writing and talking about sex work, by choice but also by necessity. She writes about the double standard for men and women after scandal for New York. (“I would be fine with Spitzer’s return to politics if sex workers were allowed the same dignity of returning to normalcy. But apologizing and getting my career back wasn’t exactly an option our society supports.”)
