Topic	Why is prostituion illegal?

"It's illegal because most people in power keep voting to keep it that way" is pretty much straight tautology. It explains nothing about the reasons behind voting that way, meaning it doesn't answer "why?" in the slightest. PunishedOni posted... sex work is pretty demoralizing and miserable 99% of the time. obviously making it illegal doesnt actually solve that, but i think that's why people have the instinct to criminalize it and sweep it under the rug where they have to think about it less edit: just to be 100% clear im not defending the criminalization of sex work, im trying to give a more nuanced answer to "why is it illegal" than just 'those people are prudes who hate sex' While true, and definitely a major factor behind people wanting it to stay illegal, keeping it illegal really just makes that worse in every way. I'm not sure why so many people refuse to see that. BlackJackCat posted... You're right, but that's what makes the application all the more hilarious. Fair. --- This is my signature.
