I don't agree that it's fundamentally morally bankrupt. I do think that in practice it's often highly exploitative, and when a given sex worker might have been lured in by desperation it's immoral to roll the dice. Is that not sufficient reason to work to marginalise it?
- throwawawaw 3y agoIt's sufficient reason to work to demarginalise it. Marginalisation enables exploitative practices.

Everyone I've known who genuinely feels that prostitution is a viable career choice (not just for other people, actually for themselves) has evidently been traumatised in some way, had a rocky upbringing, etc. In my experience those in poverty are generally more morally oriented than those who are well off. It's often part of the reason that they are skint.
