    Sex workers are workers, end of story.

    I understand you Americans have fucked up views on sex workers and treat them like shit, but that is on you.

    Also Australia women were taken as comfort women by Japan, and yet we still legalise and protect our sex workers.

      Sex workers are workers, end of story.

      Most things labelled “sex work” are actually human trafficking and most Western left groups that oppose expansion of the sex industry and even want it banned are made up of former “sex workers”. So no, not end of story, you do need to actually investigate the topic and understand it as more than a slogan.

      I understand you Americans have fucked up views on sex workers and treat them like shit, but that is on you.

      This is not exclusive to the United States.

      Also Australia women were taken as comfort women by Japan, and yet we still legalise and protect our sex workers.

      Was Australia occupied and had its people constantly forced into slavery roles, including rape, by the occupiers? Comparing a handful of captured during the war vs. decades of occupation and society-level abuse is disgusting.

      Since you are presumably in Australia, can you tell me some stats on human trafficking there?

      If your mom had to start working as a prostitute from now on, would you think this is ok because all work is work?

        If she had to do that because she had no choice? That would be horrible. If she started an OnlyFans because she enjoyed the attention, I’d be embarrassed, but good for her.
