> I was commenting on the casualness and callousness with which he uses "consenting adults" without regard to the power imbalance as well as the statistics with regard to sex workers and their "freedom".
It's interesting that this stricter form of consent doesn't extend to working shitty jobs at Walmart, McDonald's or cleaning toilets to pay the rent or buy your drugs. Why is work involving sex specifically the problem here? Is it something intrinsic to the work, or is it really the social stigma? And if it's the latter, isn't decriminalizing really the first step to solving that problem without removing women's agency and their ability to earn more money than working traditional menial job?
