• Her prostitution studies have been criticized by sociologist Ronald Weitzer for reported issues with methodology
• Weitzer has also said that Farley's findings are heavily influenced by radical feminist ideology
• Farley has been criticized for accepting significant funding from anti-trafficking organizations
• Farley research assistant Colleen Winn ... said that Farley had fabricated and misrepresented data in elements of reports which Farley had prepared on prostitution in New Zealand. Among Winn's accusations was that Farley's alleged statement that she had evidence that women were entering prostitution at age nine was untrue; the studies she performed did not collect any data indicating this
• Winn wrote that Farley's study " ... was not ethical, and the impact has done harm to those women and men who took part in it. It is for that reason that I am writing to the psychologists [sic] board of registration in California to lay a formal complaint regarding Melissa. I also believe that Melissa has committed an act of intentional misrepresentation of fact."

• I found the evidence of Dr. Melissa Farley to be problematic. Although Dr. Farley has conducted a great deal of research on prostitution, her advocacy appears to have permeated her opinions. For example, Dr. Farley's unqualified assertion in her affidavit that prostitution is inherently violent appears to contradict her own findings that prostitutes who work from indoor locations generally experience less violence. Furthermore, in her affidavit, she failed to qualify her opinion regarding the causal relationship between post- traumatic stress disorder and prostitution, namely, that it could be caused by events unrelated to prostitution.
• Dr. Farley's choice of language is at times inflammatory and detracts from her conclusions. For example, comments such as "prostitution is to the community what incest is to the family" and "just as pedophiles justify sexual assault of children . . . . men who use prostitutes develop elaborate cognitive schemes to justify purchase and use of women" make her opinions less persuasive.
• Dr. Farley stated during cross-examination that some of her opinions on prostitution were formed prior to her research, including "that prostitution is a terrible harm to women, that prostitution is abusive in its very nature, and that prostitution amounts to men paying a woman for the right to rape her".
• Accordingly, for these reasons, I assign less weight to Dr. Farley's evidence.

Their game plan:  Create a desired outcome and then create lies to see what sticks.  If the current lies don't stick, create more lies.
The problem is many people will believe the lies and not bother to check.
If prostitution were to be outlawed, these people would all disappear, along with their "programs".

That's a total load of crap.
You can't put prostitute on your resume.
There is no way they can get any girl a job making what she makes now.

Show everyone your plan.
Show me industries they will have to work in. Fast food? Waitressing? Maybe cleaning your church's toilets.
Show everyone the companies willing to hire former prostitutes.
Show me a 6 figure job that girls can get without any experience.

This is total bullshit. If you are going to transition them then pay needs to be the same.


They say they will HELP the girls which means no guarantee.

So your going to ruin someone's life so you can feel good about yourself?

Good luck

They contacted me to do an interview about my life. They assumed Dennis Hof had somehow magically forced ced me into this life. I got on to that woman! I told her let me tell you something, In no way shape or form did Dennis Hof EVER have a hand in my starting this journey. I wasn't nt anywhere near the state of Nevada when I was turned out, Dennis and I will always have our differences but I am not allowing this group to hear what they want to hear. My decisions have been mine and mine alone.I respect Dennis. They need to get there facts straight!!!! It is non sense.
