Last time I checked with some lefty people, you wouldn't, since the worker would be too scared to possibly lose job/pay over critiquing their employer, so they would be heavily incentivized to say anything keep the status quo. So how DO you know consent was given by the sex worker?

  I don't, just like with the McDonald's cashier. Do you think both of these jobs should be banned? That neither of them should be banned? Or that one should be legal and the other banned? Please explain why.

    Being forced to work against your will at Mcdonalds sucks* being forced to have sex against your will is rape. Rape is considered by almost all countries to be one of the most heinous crimes imaginably. I also don't have a source but would you agree that the amount of people being forced to work against their will at Mcdonalds is much lower than prostitution? Your comment was trying to say "what's the line?" right? Like why should one profession be banned but another allowed if X percentage of people are forced to do Y against their will in each. The line is rape, multiple rapes day in and day out. *I assuming both still get paid some amount even though they are forced.

      > Being forced to work against your will at Mcdonalds sucks* being forced to have sex against your will is rape. No, being forced to work against your will at McDonald's is slavery. > I also don't have a source but would you agree that the amount of people being forced to work against their will at Mcdonalds is much lower than prostitution? Sorry, we've already agreed it's impossible to tell. If you'd like to admit that's a dumb belief, please proceed.

        "If you'd like to admit that's a dumb belief, please proceed." Why would you make an insulting comment when we are having a discussion?

This is about being forced against your will by another person or group of people not because you need money, a situation almost every person who works is in.
