这篇文章的重点是关于多米尼加妇女性劳动的八卦，作为记录索苏阿性别关系和意识形态转变的切入点，索苏阿是一个主要由德国游客光顾的性旅游目的地。在Sosuas的性景观中，男性气质的新含义与女性的收入、能力一起出现。虽然性工作者必须克制他们对金钱收益的炫耀，以免损害他们作为母亲为孩子牺牲的声誉，但男人公开享有不受性别意识形态的限制，这种意识形态要求他们表现为辛勤工作和牺牲的父亲。在这种性经济中，男人甚至可以炫耀他们的失业。他们的懒惰和/或依赖被重新塑造成大男子主义。这是一个贫穷的多米尼加妇女有机会获得可观收入并摆脱贫困的行业，但她们的劳动战略并不一定确保性别角色和意识形态的重新配置对她们有利。相反，索苏阿的移徙男子喜欢这种重新工作，这降低了对他们的期望，而妇女则陷入了一系列更高的期望之中。
This article focuses on gossip about Dominican womens sexual labor as on entry point into documenting shifting gender relations and ideologies in Sosua, a sex tourist destination frequented primarily by German tourists. In Sosuas sexscape, new meanings of masculinity have emerged alongside womens earning, capacity. While sex workers must temper their displays of monetary gains so as to not compromise their reputations as mothers sacrificing for their children, men openly enjoy freedom from gender ideologies that make demands on them to appear as hard working and sacrificing fathers. in this sexual economy, men even can flaunt their unemployment. Their laziness and/or dependency are recast as macho. Here is one industry where poor Dominican women have the opportunity to make significant earnings and to jump out of poverty, yet their labor strategies do not necessarily ensure a reconfiguration of gender roles and ideologies that works in their favor. Rather, migrant men in Sosua enjoy such a reworking that lowers expectations for them, while women are caught in a set of increased expectations.
