The logic you use about prostitution can be used for anything that harms someone. So I'm not really sure what your point is. Should we ban all things that harm people? Mining, construction, gambling, drinking, tobacco, etc. etc. etc.
> Do we want to have even more of the political-bureaucratic machine responsible in telling us what is acceptable and what is not?
What's your answer to this?
- rglullis 6y ago> Should we ban all things that harm people? Who said anything about "banning"? My objection is to this equivalence between sex and sex work and the dismissal of any moral values related to it. > What's your answer to this? The liberal in me will say "Decriminalization and harm-reduction", the conservative in me will add "as long as you always focus on reducing the activity and always look at these as problems that society should treat as something to eradicate (even if impossible)". Legalization and this mentality of "people do it anyway, so let's just regulate it" only leads to a false feeling that the problem is not existent anymore, does not make the lives of those affected by the broken system any better, makes us complacent and leads to an even worse situation than the one we started with.
