As I said before, the current nature and view of prostitution is that it's on some level questionable as to the consensual nature of it. Now you could argue that it's only dubiously consensual now is because of how the system works, sort of like prohibition of alcohol did nothing to stop people from drinking, and made it incredibly unsafe in many cases, I'd totally agree with that myself.

But feminism is about choice, and in a situation where a woman must submit to sex with strangers for money to survive that's not really a choice. Again you can see that as a case of not seeing the forest for the trees, but it's entirely likely that is how it could have played out.

why is it not consensual just because money is involved ? If the prostitute doesnt wanna have sex with someone they dont have to consent regardless of there being money involved and if she doesnt consent and the man forces himself on her then it is rape , regardless of wether he pays her afterwards or not .
