Their gimmick is to idolise our cultural achievements while also moralising about our “sinful” sex practices…

I find Jane’s comment just to be the typical moralising of western women who think giving sex away is somehow better than being properly compensated for your sexual labour…

It's completely evident from her website and other links provided that here's someone who does nothing but exploit the heritage she claims to be from. I find her references to helping/supporting South Asian women and sex workers just as exploitative - sounds like a load of lip service (that's not a pun) to try and make herself look more respectable. She's a gimmick, that's all there is to it.</p> I’m offended that you categorised this under “Dance”.

I cannot judge her from what she does but they way she stands tall is rather impressive.</p> I have seen her site before and am often impressed with her honesty.
