I think you did a good job and I hope you consider what I mention to make the site memorable and easier to navigate.
Constructive criticism aims to show that the intent or purpose of something is better served by an alternative approach. In this case, making the criticism is not necessarily deemed wrong, and its purpose is respected; rather, it is claimed that the same goal could be better achieved via a different route. Constructive criticisms are often suggestions for improvement - how things could be done better or more acceptably. They draw attention to how an identified problem could be solved, or how it could be solved better.
1. I feel that the title of your site is misleading. It is called "Truth About Exotic Dancing", but your content deals with the negative aspects of the job and it's relation to sexual abuse, exploitation, & violence. You also dedicate sections to "getting out" of the industry. The truth of the matter is that stripping is both good and bad. It is *true* that there a pros as well as cons. Am I right?
2. When I click on "Home" in the navigation bar, I'm directed to an autobiographical account of your experience in the industry. This section would be better titled "My Story" or "About Me" or even "About".
The section titled "Home" should probably consist of a simple mission statement and a contents page of articles (maybe a blog format? where the reader can see the topic titles, images, and then click on a little link where it says "read more...").
3. "A Resource for Exotic Dancers Past or Present" could be more prominent. It doesn't fit into your color scheme and blends into the banner image. Also, the banner image could be improved.
4. Make the links to resources clickable. Someone in a crisis situation may not want to cut & paste. *Kind of Important*
