Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Indeed, states have seldom sought to abolish prostitution outright; rather, they have sought to curb sexworkers control of the trade. [McClintock 1992:76] The way prostitution is conceptualized in a given society reveals key cultural ideals and assump-tions about gender and sexuality. Prostitution, then, is not merely about transactional sex nor is it a discursive object/product for academics, activ-ists, politicians, and social policy makers to debate. Prostitution involves a full range of activities that are historically and culturally variable, as are the sub-jectivities and perspectives of the actors involved in the business of transactional sex (Zatz 1997; Vance 1984). According to Tracy Quan (2006), a retired New York sex worker, it is the idea of prostitution rather than the work itself that is problematic. Quan describes sex work to be a “normal human activity,” a point repeatedly echoed by her contemporaries in

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
