do you actually believe most prostitutes do it willingly and not because they are desperate? it's an exploitative business and the rampant human trafficking is just the norm. it hammers down the patriarchy. the amound of sex workers who do it unwillingly greatly exceeds the amount of voluntary sex workers.
capitalism exacerbates the issues greatly and enables the suffering.
No? I didn't say that.
These things are true. Still doesn't make it okay to shit on prostitutes existing like they're all a symptom of a problem. That dehumanizes them and engenders hostility.
I was mostly being cheeky in my initial comment but this reply is so hostile I felt the need to be serious for a minute. Further replies will not be read.
if i came off as an ass i am sorry, i probably misinterpreted your comment and classified it as the 'unconditional & uncritical support of sex work'-kind of take that unfortunately is still prevalent - especially in left-adjacent circles (looking at my former pdl-comrades in germany)
