Reframe it in marginal terms: - No one says there must be sex work in the utopia. But we have it in this world, and prohibitions of vice do not work. - We utterly fail at catching and convincing rapists, let alone preventing rape with deterrence or something. The orthodox ways to prevent the crime are not working. If there is already a failure of justice and prevention, and if sex work isn't inherently bad, what's wrong with improving the lives of sex workers and getting less rape as a side effect? And even without any utilitarianism, the key would be to focus on the unpatholization of sex work as something good in its own right, with the rape reduction side effect as not being decisive.
