About the invisible men project.

Hi
Really disappointed to see so many negative comments about this project on here and the other thread that is not not receiving comments.

You may be interested in the fact there is to be an exhibition at The Glasgow Museum of Modern art based on the Invisible Man project.

I appreciate many women are horrified at the concept of prostitution and that many women do actually enjoy sex and even choose to work as sex workers.

There are some women who work in appalling conditions and who are treated badly or are forced into it by men. However there are plenty who choose to do this work and there is also a huge middle range of those who are forced and those

However, whatever side of the fence you sit on I think it's important to understand that this project is dehumanising to women, using blank faces, no names, a price tag and by cherry picking lines from reviews to suit the project is grossly unfair. I feel the people responsible for the project and the gallery are cashing in on the experiences of others and without any input from sex workers makes it all the more revolting and biased.

Regardless of your views about women who offer sexual services for money no right minded compassionate human could possibly be in favour of this project nor the display of it in a public gallery.

I urge you to sign the below petition to get this exhibition stopped. More information about the problem with this exhibition is given on the page.

It makes me want to give up and cry. Then it makes so angry, actually enraged, that the comments of the punter quoted at the end can be justified by the author of the blog because she is confident that the prostitute "enjoyed that sort of sex" really and that the punter's langauge is "graphic" rather than mysogynistic because he also says that she "was attentive." How nice of him.

Abd as for "graphic"?? The punter says, "She fucks like an animal, got soaking wet from all the cunt juice and will take a bit of rough. The woman is practically perfect." I could spend a couple of paragraphs analysing that and bemoaning the fact that the punter/blog-poster/anyone else who thinks this is "gentlemanly" language is completely incapabe of any sort of critical awareness....but.....actually........ I do just want to cry.

Someone linked to that blog post before. On the thread I think. It was discussed.

What I am shocked by is the following. She wrote that Wrecking Ball was "tasteful"!
It takes all sorts I suppose.

I feel physically sick at the man describing how much pain the woman was in and how 'sensational' it was.

The Invisible Men Project is still going.

And it's important to keep it going.
