A lot of self serving twaddle masquerading as some socially concious manifesto. For ever OnlyFans model and camgirl there exists a hundred trafficking victims. What the author fails to grasp is that prostitution is a business, where the employee gets screwed figuratively and literally. Normalization of prostitution as any other venture leads will lead to an explosion of its shady side, with a couple of high class courtesans being paraded around as a proof that legalization works.
I am 100 percent behind "sex workers" abandoning their trade and becoming gainfully employed. Some things should not be normalized.
No, sex work should be legalized and become a protected trade, just like other work. Only by legalizing it can you get rid of a large chunk of the shady part of it. (never all of it, but legalized sex work is 100% better than Grey zone sex work like it is now in so many places...)
Legalization increases supply, which also increases the shady parts. Even in the placed where prostitution is legalized the sex trade iceberg is mostly composed of trafficking victims, with a tiny sliver of voluntary prostitution on the top. We should be focusing on harm reduction, not on normalization and legalization.
Do you have any proof of that?
Afaik in many European countries with legalized prostitution (eg Holland, Belgium,....) there is certainly no increase in illegal prostitution. But please, prove me wrong.
All research also indicates legalization upsides far outweigh the downsides.
you are correct and op doesn't know what he's talking about
Legalization of for example weed certainly has not increased the amount of shady dealers.
Why on earth would I go through the effort of finding a dodgy dealer if I can just walk to the nearest regulated clean coffee shop(weed shop) and get some that have been checked, plus I can get my money back if there is a problem.
Same for sex work, the only shady dealings would be people looking for intentionally abusive sex that would touch a shady establishment.
You're talking out of your ass. Stop blowing bullshit.
Why do you get to decide what is and is not gainful employment? Some of them probably make more money than you do.
