not a problem with the concept; that’s a problem with local law

I have a tendency of caring more for the real world and real people than about concepts. My bad.

great! then you should be all for legalised and regulated sex work… because that’s the way it is here in melbourne, australia and its excellent and good for everyone… in the real world

Yes, I'm pro legally protected consensual sex work, thanks for asking. That's why I know in Melbourne is legal but not the rest of Australia. Like in 99% of the world where it is criminalized. I'm an advocate and actually worked with victims of sex trafficking for a long time. That's why I draw the distinction between what we wish it would be, and what happens in reality.
