Thoughtful analysis of Joss Whedon's portrayal of sex work in Firefly

More Than Just A Whore: Sex Work, Firefly and Audience Engagement.

While I am a huge Joss fan, I don't think everything he does is perfect. However, he's making a serious effort to take diversity seriously and if he sometimes falls a bit short, at least he's trying. So few in Hollywood even try.
