The value balance should be changed by making other options easier and more desirable, not by making the lives of prostitutes harder.
Otherwise it sounds like you actually just don't like prostitution, regardless of what freedoms prostitutes have.
- clavalle 10y agoIdeally, I agree. Unfortunately we don't live in an ideal world and we have to settle for the quicker stopgap, the point of which isn't to punish prostitutes but change the value calculation of people before they go that route. This conversation makes me realize that I don't have much data, though. How many prostitutes are doing it out of some level of desperation? I assume most since it is so risky in so many different ways (the risk of legal punishment being near the least of it). But, I'll admit, I don't know.
- saint_fiasco 10y agoIf the risk of legal punishment is near the least of it, then how is that going to change the value calculation? If it is only a trivial inconvenience, it is useless. If it is a grave inconvenience, it is evil.
