I also believe in work safety laws that prohibit workers from operating machinery for 14 hours straight or climbing radio antenna without any kind of safety equipment. I fail to see how that's fine but laws about selling sex are somehow in violation of these worker's agency.
- standardUser 5y ago"I fail to see how that's fine but laws about selling sex are somehow in violation of these worker's agency." You don't understand how limits on some types of work are different from a comprehensive prohibition on other types of work? I don't beleive you.
- only_as_i_fall 5y agoI don't see how banning prostitution isn't merely a limit on the kinds of sex work you can perform. The distinction is arbitrary.
- handoflixue 5y agoYou really don't understand the difference between a safety regulation and a moral regulation? Or do you think sex work is intrinsically dangerous and prostitutes might fall to their death due to a lack of safety gear?
- only_as_i_fall 5y agoProstitution is intrinsically dangerous and prostitutes are significantly more likely to die than any other workers. This isn't counting the incredibly high rates of physical violence and rape they face.
- handoflixue 5y agoI have never once heard about this: what exactly are the intrinsic dangers of prostitution that make it so much less safe than being a lumberjack?
