Beggars the question how on earth did you come across it?

[Plan R]

I find that kind of thing fascinating and will definitely have a read.
('That kind of thing' being upset lefties and feminists).

It's the same reason I read the Guardian, it's not that I agree with them, in fact I'm appalled by most of their views - it's just that I love listening to lefties and feminists whinging.
Guilty pleasures eh ?

Seems like they not only attempted to write a thesis , they actually did , 181 pages.
Mostly seems stating the bleeding obvious , from a disapproving feminist perspective.
Page 125 refers to a thread called : "Review Your OH Like A Working Girl" which i read cos i thought it sounded amusing.
The writer generally seems to object to what she calls the "male sex right" and the way it demands control and subordination of women and their bodies. This is obviously a theoretical feminist ideological standpoint. The same disquiet at control and subjugation could be levelled at any master/servant employment situation surely. If a woman hires a male escort for example.
Outside of situations where women are being paid i can see they might have a valid point championing womens equality of rights and sexual expression and non subservience to mens rights and demands but the area of paid prostitution is niche, but they just object to it.

I do that with some twitter accounts. To see them raging about lefty shite and watching their blood pressure shoot through the roof always brightens my day

As far as I can see it’s a proposed thesis — not one that has been passed. Very poor quality and promoting subjective judgments. I don’t think anyone but bat-faced Bindel would pass it!

It was a badly written report. She basically took the words of one person, quoting James, Nik, Dafodil and others in a single post they made and then extrapolated it to mean all men think that on the forums. Not realising we are all individuals here. And even the topics she was taking those posts from had different views on Saafe

I honestly on seeing that part. It felt like the report was an April fools joke. But its 185 pages long. You can tell she is a major off the scale feminist and probably never even got her degree.

Raquel Rosario Sanchez very quickly lets us know that she is a dizzy bimbo. She thinks that UKPunting is located in 'England'.


''We explore these issues with the framework of Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis and
through the use of qualitative research of both the review boards at %%% and the
online community forums at UKPunting. Both communities are located in England,
where online communities for sex buyer originated.''


''By reading the conversations of sex
buyers, we can gather that what the men who pay for sex and write in these online
communities are seeking, apart from sexual access to women’s bodies, is a
commodified version of women that can be controlled in a manner that the evermore
egalitarian roles of men and women in society does not allow outside of the sex
industry.''

She does not understand that this is a two way process.

The woman gains access to the man's wallet, so he becomes a commodified version of a man that can be controlled in a manner that the evermore
egalitarian roles of men and women in society does not allow outside of the sex industry.

The rest of her piece is a cut and paste one sided feminazi rant. I dont have to read it all.

She should be warned that spouting reams of verbal dysentry can leave a dangerous vacuum. She could then vanish up her own arsehole. I think she already has.

[Marmalade]

My guess she’ll ingratiate herself with feminazis by quoting the title and saying she ‘studied’ at such and such wrote a thesis. I think any good tutor would fling it back at her and tell her to start again.

Good points there!  Bet her arsehole never had a god rimming!! 

As you say this punting lark is a 2 way street and  :wackogirl:I think those who indulge and those who provide can make a good case for a power relationship on both sides!

Also never seem to hear these types moaning that not enough women bin cleaners, road sweepers and other 'dirty' jobs!! Don't want to crack their nails suppose!

Good find Marmalade.

I seem to remember a few years ago there was an actual thesis circulating the net from a woman who mainly focused on WGs. For the uninitiated the WG to Punter transactions must seem otherworldly 

[Laudanum]

'Raquel Rosario Sanchez for the degree of Master of Arts in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies.'   Feck me, whatever happened to degrees in Physics or History?

[Payyourwaymate]

Where on earth did she find the time to bother writing a thesis about UKP  . My goodness what idle hands can bring someone to do  .

[scutty brown]

the thesis should have been thrown out for this simple statement:

"And that one respondent
replied to her request with “This is a good opportunity to do something to
persuade the world that we are not sleazy scumbags in dirty macs!” (‘mac’
is a pseudonym for condom) (Sanders, 29)."

She's quoting a previous researcher who got it wrong, but the simple fact she accepted the statement verbatim, unchallenged proves she's not a clue what she is saying

[Herts_Outcaller]

"Both communities are located in England"

does the classic American thing of confusing the UK and England, despite the website giving her a massive clue by actually being called UK Punting. The clue is in the name babes, you're meant to be an academic and not make these simple errors.

Academic papers in any old lefty SJW bullshit get accepted and published in America...
These two heroes got a few papers published recently just to prank lefties

Their papers were basically horse shit from cover to cover, but as they fit the lefty or feminist world view, they were accepted.
Their paper on 'Rape culture in Dog Humping in Parks' was described as 'exemplary scholarship'

Yeah but a lot of American also believe that Europe is a country rather than a continent

I have already done it.
And mine was better! 

Seriously, some feminist bint did quote estimations I gave in my
book - negatively naturally - in her mind numbing research paper.

A lot of people might argue we're leaving the EU because it's actually not far off

We're not a community!!!
We are a male liberationist movement!
We demand the right to choose who we have sex with, without being shamed by the monstrous regiment of organised feminista women

One of the great curses of our time: quasi learning about made-up subjects which produce graduates who are unemployable for anything remotely useful.

The saddest thing is that it's not like she's saying anything new. It's the same old "Punters are bad. WGs are victims" bullshit. Not sure how you get a PhD out of that. It's not like it should classify as original research.

If she was comparing and contrasting attitudes between here and SAAFE that might be at least interesting.

[Londoner2000]

 I actually think what she wrote is good academically.  But I agree it has a feminazi overtone  throughout.  It took me a long time to realize this, as I grew up hating feminists,  but actually I am a feminist.  So are a lot of us, but we don’t realize it.

 Anyone who wants women to have the same opportunity to education as men as a feminist.  I also think that feminism in its  modern form  has destroyed the old society somewhat  and so we have far less familial stability than we did a generation ago.

But all the women  in my family for the last three generations were doctors and surgeons.  One just got elected to  One of the most exclusive societies in the world, where there’s less than 50 women part of it.  And I believe in their right to education. Yet  I am a vegan  climate change protesting lefty to some degree -  I also read the guardian but actually that goes a bit too left even for me.  I also read the daily mail and thought it was a good news source  but only recently found out it left some news out entirely ..  like trumps tweets to “go back where they came from“  where is it was on the guardian front page, the daily mail didn’t pick it up till much later it was minimized.

Make that a +2
Making everyone go to uni means you end up in the situation you have in the states, everyone graduates but most "degrees" are very poorly regarded.

On the thread generally, one of the biggest injustices and (delibrate) misunderstanding of the wg/punter relationship by this type of thing, isn't that men are domineering over women. In most cases the wg has far more power over the man and if anything the punter is far more likely to be taken advantage of.

Out of interest, would it be possible to do postgraduate study in London looking at sex work and its impacts/policy environment?

Asking for a friend.
