I'm realizing that Merb isn't the right place to talk about our rights, because it's dominated by clients and it's an advertising space. I think this is better discussed among colleagues and other people who are behind the scenes.
I think it's also important that you and others SW keep discussing thoses issues here with us. In my opinion, you and LC18 and jaelynever are presently doing an "hell of a job" in educating us about your work conditions. I saw numerous comments over the years that were not necesseraly means but show the ignorance of your realities.
I consider myself a good client. l'm always clean, sober, respectful. I never argue prices and/or boundaries and always leave a good tips. I always revalidate consents that was given by text at the beginning of the session. I see more providers that no longer officialy work and kept me as client than agencies or indy ladies. Which is proof to me that i do things the right way.
But, boy, how much i learned reading this tread.
Thank to you three for your courageous sharing.
