Prostitution destroys the sexual autonomy of women by introducing economic incentives to performing sexual acts, this the opposite of sexual freedom.

So anybody with a job is a slave to economics? Isn't this just capitalism/free markets in general? Seems like you're saying women have more freedom by being told they cannot do something that elevates them economically. Women are still free to have non-paid sex with whomever they want. But if they choose to make money doing it as well, I believe that is another form of empowerment.

  It's not a choice if its the only option. The real shit argument is exactly that it's just "more capitalism" Morons be getting further if they advocated collectively for UBI + universal healthcare and not a bunch of customizations to the shit stew we're all eating. Adding a little seasoning for the preferences of group_x isn't really improving much

  Consent is removed by economic force rather than physical force. Performing sexual acts is much more than plain physical labor like lawn maintenance.

    This is appalling. Have you ever done any manual labor more difficult than mowing the lawn? Work 12-hour days in a factory for a few years, then tell me you wouldn't rather get paid to have sex.

    So what's your solution? Sex robots? (I'm not kidding). If there are people willing to pay for sex, and people willing to have sex for money, how do you stop them from entering into this transaction, whether regulated or unregulated? I can see you are morally opposed to prostitution, but, like, what's your solution here? What, in your head, is the lesser of all evils that can be practically implemented and enforced?

What do you say to women--and they do exist--who choose prostitution voluntarily, despite having other options? Who is served by imprisoning and persecuting those women? How does that protect their sexual autonomy?
