Anti-prostitution not pro-marital rape. For instance, prostitution would never have happened if womens needs were recognized as fundamental to society. Shelter, food etc.
We gain nothing by holding up bodily autonomy, what's the point of arguing whether a woman should have the right to sell sex? It's obviously wrong.
Just like everything else your individual judgments are meaningless. Where it matters to the social whole society should decide. It's also true that your desires and wishes are shaped by society in the first place, so they should be shaped to maximize your own flourishing such that you don't make bad decisions because there are correct decisions when it comes to human happiness, we are just animals.

What's obviously wrong is for a man to purchase sex. The woman selling sex isn't breaking any ethical code or responsibility to society. Fuck off Mike Huckabee.

no we're not, why do people say this? what does it even mean? what do you mean by this?

She is by not working.
A defense of prostitution on the grounds that it allows the prostitute to eat is not the same as the liberal defense I'm engaging and you haven't said anything of relevance there.
Are you one of those people who think there will be prostitution under communism? If your answer is no then you agree with me and you can dispense with the outrage.

Just means we can be trivially optimized. There is no significant uniqueness.

This whole saga of never ending pro pimp propaganda seems never ending, and while all these well meaning liberals who follow a few college educated upper middle class sex workers who claim that this what is going to make their lives better while over looking the fact that they arent going to do this forever and usually have a 2nd career.
I have seen a lot of discourse from current sex workers on twitter that want decriminalization is they keep on repeating that they dont like their "job" all the time which raises a lot of questions about what is exactly sex work as a job.
One of the most frustrating things is the anti sex buyer/abolitionists organisations seem to just sweep in donations and profit but how are these vast funds actually helping women that drastically want to leave the sex industry but are living in countries illegally and will have no homes. A lot of these state funded exit schemes will usually only help women who are citizens of the country and are sober.
Its just so annoying to see various groups that want to end prostitution spend $200,000 on an ad campaign but aren't assisting women that dont fit a very narrow criteria for them to supposedly help
Taxi drivers (although the gig sharing economy has somewhat equalised this cause capitalism)
Construction (but the UK has made various attempts to attract more women in the field)
Resturants (very few female chefs but fuking loads of female waitress/bar maids)
Plumbing
Self employed construction roles never seem to have any women
I know a lot more men that are freelance compared to women like....
Ugh its just frustrating to see well educated working class women resorting to sex work to pay rent cause they're not fucking men and arent going to be given the same opportunities as vastly medorice men

landscaping and pretty much any sort of van or truck driving seems to be overwhelmingly male dominated. Mechanics too. I imagine the overwhelming majority of working class jobs for women come in retail and service, which are quite troublingly starting to be heteromated at a very rapid pace--self checkout, ordering online, ipads in restaurants to take your order, etc etc.
A big one is any kind of major resource extraction, particularly those that involve isolated fly in fly out work camps (which are hell on everyone) oil, mining, lumber.

There was an article on the topic recently, where a waiter said that a common thing now is for customers to use the comments field in the satisfaction survey to leave sexually suggestive compliments or insults about the women waiting their tables
Comments on women's looks were probably common enough on pencil-and-paper comment cards, but now the instant feedback technology allows for nightly meetings on how the customers rated everyone. So, the woman in the article explains, her managers use those nightly meetings as an opportunity to bring those sorts of comments up on the screen, so everyone there can see them and discuss them in terms of the waiter's performance as an employee. Big laughs all around, under capitalism
