    I think to just put it on the level of any other basic profession is naive, and I think you know that. I’m on board, but to turn a blind eye to human trafficking is foolish. And to suggest legalizing prostitution would all of a sudden eliminate human trafficking is just as foolish.

      I’m so sick of people bringing up trafficking whenever prostitution is mentioned. I just don’t understand it. What do cars have to do with any of this?

      Globally there’s way mor illegal trafficking in construction than in prostitution. So should wo do something there too?

      And yes, legalizing will not eliminate human trafficking, but it would put the blame (and criminalization) away from victims.

        You’re missing the important point which is that when women sell their bodies it’s icky. Human trafficking only matters if it’s for icky reasons.
