Thumbs up to Abigail Goodman. The coverage in the "regular media" has generally been entirely fawning and uncritical toward Farley and her research. Kudo's to this article for providing some balance.

"Any 'sex researcher' from San Francisco is suspect for a variety of reasons, the top two of which would be the overriding extremist feminism based that city, and the superiority complex of so many so-call big city academics when looking at Las Vegas."</i>

Check your San Francisco stereotypes at the door, dude. A whole lot of people here in Babylon by the Bay think she's nuts, too, including a lot of feminists. This was nowhere no apparent during the planning commission hearings about S/M porn studio Kink.com's purchase of the San Francisco Armory – Farley testified, making an utterly whack comparison of Kink.com's content with the prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib, a comparison that was specifically denounced by Christina Olague, the very left-wing chair of the SF Planning Commission.
