We are all prostitutes in some way, shape or form under capitalism. Tell them that at thanksgiving and example that renting yourself to a company to drive trucks, scan tills,deliver pizza is not that different to renting yourself out for sex. Both involve you doing a service for others in exchange for cash.

This is the sort of lighthearted shitpost response I always hope for when I post something like this.

Isn’t prostitution usually exploited by organized crime?

[–] 100_percent_a_bot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

One could quivle about the difference between prostitution and sex work but generally speaking you are correct

[–] RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only in countries where sex work is illegal.

You'd think that a country with a recent, well documented, lived example of how prohibition doesn't actually fix anything might have learnt something from the experience

[–] MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just because we can’t enforce something 100% all the time, every time, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.

After all, is murder and theft can’t be fully stopped, should we just say screw it and get rid of the laws forbidding it?

[–] RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

That's a false equivalence.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't prohibit people from doing antisocial things that harm others, I'm saying that adults doing things/consuming things/selling things in a safe, regulated way where everyone consents, understands what they are doing and the risks associated and no one gets hurt probably shouldn't be illegal.

What a great point.

The communist prostitute is so much better

Seize the means of reproduction!

You're not wrong. And perhaps that's what Jesus was onto when he said "do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?" (Matthew 6:25)

That was him telling men not to prostitute themselves for money and status.
