I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it’s forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?
I think you are missing the forest for the trees here, a capitalist society is by design hostile to any “second class” person (women, disabled, POC).
You need to ground these ideas and think what policies would work on this. If you try to abolish sexwork the only think you will accomplish it even worse conditions for any informal worker. Any person that was willing to perform that kind of work would be out of any protection.
So what are your policies?
Would people still do ‘sexwork’ in a socialist society? If they have no need to work for shelter or food, would people still do it?
So do nothing because the world isn’t perfect. ?
As I keep saying. There is scientific evidence supporting the harms of sexual objectification. The harms of making prostitution legal.
You can pretend it’s not true. Doesn’t change the reality.
