Topic	Why is prostituion illegal?
MeteoricBurst 05/10/21 6:12:16 PM #47:	IronBornCorps posted... Ok, I'll give a more nuanced answer. It's still around religion. Multiple religions have painted women as subservient and to men throughout history. Sex work, while not limited to women, is largely populated by women. If it's legal and regulated, women would then be able to branch out and form their own business (seeing this already on Social Media now). If it's illegal, you further chip away at independence and autonomy for women. Basically, if you can control sex, you can further your control on women on a sociological level. Yup. Its also telling that only 2 people in here (I think) have mentioned the internet/social media angle. Which is the dominant scene now. I don't think these people realise how dramatically the sex work landscape has changed in the last 5 years. ReturnOfFa posted... I think Oni took a subtle enough approach, and you're not. Plenty of accounts from sex workers to look at. Advocating for legality of sex work and acknowledging systemic abuse within sex work don't have to be mutually exclusive. Thats funny because a statement such as "sex work is miserable and demoralising for 99% of the people doing it" is as far from subtle as you can get. Not to mention detached from reality. The lie that people don't "want" to be sex workers should end. The vast majority do. But as noted it goes back to religious moralistic nonsense, where sex work is not seen as a "real job" or that they have no other skills to cope so they resort to that. And it's like um people just like making bank while banging other people, it's not hard to understand. They can have degrees and all that "respectable" stuff. And still build a brand using their body. Those horror stories you heard before was because it used to be that sex workers usually operated on the whims of someone else. That does not have to happen now. Which doesn't mean it never will. There will be people who end up on the streets by force but the vast majority are doing it from the comfort of their homes and should not be punished. Making it illegal or cracking down on sex service sites, which we've seen recently, is counterproductive. However as Iron pointed out them having that amount of agency and control now is not in a lot of people's interest. --- "I had no choice but to choose the DLC." - Junichi Masuda <cite>MeteoricBurst posted [p:953767129] in Why is pro...
