I think it's worth making the distinction between highly coerced women and children vs. "let's get our kink on" women who make a buck on the side.

But there's always one person who twists the narrative, claiming to have the absolute moral high ground. People willing to actually think about the subject are baited into giving them the benefit of the doubt, thinking they must just be ignorant, because after all, human trafficking is horrifying. But it's just another blood libel: Accuse your opponents of supporting the most heinous thing you can imagine, so that you can justify annihilating them. In this case, the position truly being supported is that women cannot sell sex. Vehemently, violently rearranging the rhetorical space to equate selling sex with sexual slavery is just a method of magically transforming you into an evil that must be destroyed. And you will go along with it willingly, looking ever more pathetic as you try to argue that, in fact, you're on the side of the good--the bloodthirsty opponent becomes ever more and more convinced that you are completely evil. And not only evil, but disgustingly, twistedly evil. It's almost sad, how evil you are. Because you're so confused. You've been so confused by evil that you think you're good. At that point, it becomes an act of mercy to annihilate you. Think this is over the top? I don't. I don't think we should engage at all with these conversations. Downvoting is good. Flagging is better.
