I think you’re confusing with sex trafficking with sex work/prostitution, which are completely two different things mind you. Ones non consensual and had coercive control, whilst the other is consensual and has full body autonomy.
Studies and research and numbers, measured many times over a hundred years and more all the time, shows that when legal prostitution is allowed then you also see a rise in the number of victims of kidnapping and being forced into sex work, victims of rape for profit. An increase of slavery and abuse of innocent children.
Is this new statement clear enough for you to understand my words?
The idea of legal prostitution is attractive, always will be as a flaw in our brains, but it simply is not worth the unintended consequences. And you should also be wary than many of its advocates are men of power who smell profits to be made.
both are slurs. One’s got far more heavy historical context of slavery and oppression, but both are words used to stigmatise and insult a certain group, and they have been reclaimed by various extents by said groups.
And for the record you casually using the word “whore” is probably more insulting than me comparing two words that are used to oppress groups.
Does it though? There are plenty of countries with legal prostitution and I’ve never seen any statistics about illegal prostitution being on the rise there.
It’s one of those claims both sides could make and actually believe in. There might even be data for both sides, given enough cherry-picking that is.
It’s been matter of fact for over a decade LINK, they looked at large scale trends in 150 countries and they controlled for variables such as higher rates of finding criminals by examining the supplier countries as well as the countries that legalize prostitution and found increases across the board.
Legal prostitution leads to increased human trafficking.
If a side claims that science is wrong then it’s not the side you want to be on.
I don’t think little of whores and I don’t think people against legalization in general do either.
I think little of pimps who kidnap children and sell them. A business that increases when prostitution becomes legal.

Studies are conflicting and there is no good baseline to go off of.
Says the person who calls prostitutes by a derogatory name. 🙄
Afaik sex worker is preferred over prostitute
It’s the term used in the meme.
And that makes it okay how?
How would it not be okay?
Just as only black people can use the n-word, you probably should stay away from the word “whore” if you’re not a sex worker
I think it’s insulting to even compare the two, tbh.

I’ve already replied to it.
I wouldn’t really call that a “reply.”
Besides, that wasn’t for you as much as it was for the other commenter.
No it doesn’t, if it did you’d source that.
Sure thing SOURCE
