No, actually, sex work is not “just work”. It’s emblematic of a dysfunctional society and the economic and social conditions that are forcing women to go into that line of work should be addressed, rather than legalizing it

I think we can focus on the economic and social conditions while also not criminalizing it tbh. if you’re right and the dysfunctional society is the root cause, treating the dysfunction will decapitate the sex work industry without ruining innocent women’s lives. and if treating dysfunction DOESNT eliminate sex work then clearly not all sex work is dysfunctional

I have friends who got into sex work bc of the dysfunction of society. they regret having to do it, they wish they didn’t. But it being illegal didn’t stop them from becoming sex workers, and they would NOT be better off having gone to jail
