Tired of reading leftist theory that degrades sex workers, misunderstands the nature of our work, or ignores us altogether? Hooker Mentality covers all the ways that selling sex can give hookers an insight into the systems which control us all, demonstrating why so many of us become radically left-wing after we start selling sex. Come along to the book's launch to enjoy a talk and a reading, as well as to enjoy some activities and grab drinks at the bar!
On the night there will be:
- A talk about Hooker Mentality, the taboo topics covered within, and a short reading.
- A discussion between Jack Parker and speakers from THORN (Trans Hookers Resistance Network) about how selling sex changes the way we see the world.
- Q&A
- Let out some frustration against anti sex work figures and common whorephobic phrases by defacing images and quotes with paint/ink darts and writing.
- Mini sex worker rights sign-making.
- A bar with a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
- Copies of Hooker Mentality available for purchase (which you can reserve as an add-on with your ticket to guarantee yourself a copy)!
