I'm not only appalled on how many people agree with OP - isn't the idea to change his view? -´, but also on the absurd amount of comments suggesting, defending, nitpicking words to argue that "mOsT wOrKs iNVolVe coERsiOn, why is prostitution so StiGmAtiZed?" and "well, wOmEn ArEn'T a MonOLiTh, y'know? Just because you say most women or no women would enjoy this work, doesn't mean you're right.
I'll be right back, I'll just puke real quick.
okay so i know i am simplifying the industry, and that's not right, but there's always one thing about sex work that confuses me: if prostitution is mutually beneficial, why is the sex worker typically suffering and/or getting the shortest end of the stick?
“Most sex work involves coercion” and they’re saying THAT MAKES IT BETTER? Am I reading that right?!?
"If sex is a service rape is just unpaid labor.
If sex is a service it can be provided to family members, morally.
If sex is a service it can be a small child’s career aspiration, and it should be supported as such.
If sex is a service then pornographic content can also be displayed to children, as they should be given examples of their work possibilities.
If sex is a service, and sex work is an existent opportunity to you, you can’t complain about being unemployed.
If sex is a service csa is just some form of child labour.
If sex is a service it is bigoted and against the costumer rights to deny service on the basis of anything, including sex, regardless of the workers orientation they should provide service to the costumer. "

Other good additions by people reblogging:
"If sex work is work, then incest is no different than working in the yard or shed with mom and dad. It’s just practice for working in the real world."
"If sex work is work then it should be held to the same safety standards as other jobs, including treating any and bodily fluids as biohazards that should never touch the workers’ skin (rubber protective gloves, etc). There would be unions, benefits, healthcare, the things expected from other jobs. Legal action against pimps when they harass, assault, and threaten their “employees.” Strikes, protections, wages that increase rather than decrease over time (why would an 18 year old be more “valuable” than a 30 year old?)."
"Forever thinking of that radfem that said something along the lines of; “if sex work is work, then what my dad did to me is the same as letting a child work in a family restaurant….”"
I don’t think the “sex work is work” people understand how they sound or understand reality at all. We’re not talking about just legalizing sexy escorts and OnlyFans, it would legalize human trafficking.
Human slavery is a 150 billion dollar industry today that is present in every single continent and country with 5 million known enslaved and 40 million estimated. Women & girls make up 71% of all victims and 99% of victims in the sex industry.
I don’t think it will ever happen though. The current trend is the opposite. Pay attention to big business right now (especially payment processors) —many are changing their regulations to be anti porn and sex work to avoid what happened to Visa after the PornHub child trafficking scandal went public:
Buy a fleshlight and leave women alone already ffs.
I used to hate the idea of sex robots but maybe it wouldn't be so bad, they can abuse those instead of real women..
EDIT: omg I went reading the comments, and the scrote is literally equating prostitution to Door Dash...WTF. Yeah dude, driving someone a Big Mac is totally the same as being forced to have sex with strangers. My god what is wrong with men.
If prostitution were legal it would not pay enough for women to want to do it. And nobody wants to have to tell a man how his personal hygiene is bad and how he needs to take another shower and use soap this time to clean himself well enough so that she can stand it
but as it is right now, these women can turn away men who aren’t clean and can let all the other women in the industry know he is dirty and gross.
women only do this out of desperation and often they have mental health issues that prevent them from being able to have a normal job. Mental health is not taken care of in some countries especially if youre a woman. it is often a mentally unhealthy womans way of surviving. they won’t survive living in a car or outside without being raped anyway so it makes sense to have a roof over your head anyway if you’re gonna get raped might as well have someone pay to do it.
that guy who made what you shared is a dick. He thinks the women he pays actually enjoy his company while they are counting the minutes down to their own freedom from mens demands. And he is actually Thinking that anyone would enjoy sucking his dick.
