\"Last December, Mistress Snow---who says her field is in the humanities---wrote a personal essay for the Chronicle of Higher Education, entitled "I Told My Mentor I Was a Dominatrix: She Rescinded Her Letter of Recommendation." The summer before the article came out, she found herself without a teaching gig---which is common for adjuncts. "I had about a week to cobble together a couple grand before rent was due," she writes. "The clock kept ticking; there was no lifeboat in sight. I was hungry. So I swallowed my pride, reluctantly dusted off my corset, and dialed up the old dungeon. By the end of the week, I was back in the sex trade, beating, humiliating, and degrading men (and sometimes women) for \$90 an hour, plus tips."\"\
