> it exploits these people even if it’s their choice.
This is a talking point used by people who try to criminalize sex work, and it flies completely in the face of what sex workers' advocacy groups around the world actually say. No, you're not equating sex work with sex trafficking in your comment, but you're adopting wholesale the language of people who do.
> But the real issue is that none of the girl prostitutes are locals. Not once I heard of a local Dutch girl doing this. And it’s also mostly lots of people that need he money. If the brothels were full of dutch-rich women then I’d be fine with it.
Why is it a problem when foreigners engage in sex work to make money, but not a problem when "Dutch-rich" people engage in sex work to make money?
You're talking about unionized workers in a highly regulated industry doing very lucrative labor. It's very hard to make the argument that they're being exploited, any more than laborers in any other industry are being exploited.
