Sure But That Doesn't Mean An Argument That Is Just "this Thing Is Old And Thus Good" Isn't A Conservative

Sure but that doesn't mean an argument that is just "this thing is old and thus good" isn't a conservative mindset. I still stand by my point of the idea of "this is what always happened" being a conservative mentality.

So, does the choice of being raped vs starvation really seem consensual and not dubious at all to you? What about, say a boss that withholds raises for sex? Also, sex work is unnecessary labor and exploitive/painful for the vast majority of workers, so what is the reason to keep it? I am against constant consumerist buying and sweatshops and child labor as well to be clear for similar reasons, it's unnecessary and worsens exploitation. Does stigmatizing buying off of Shein hurt sweatshop workers in your opinion? I don't think sex workers should be punished either to be clear, I think johns and pimps should, and sex workers should be helped back into professions that don't require getting raped daily you know.

I think a few surveys, but it is true that there's not much data on that specifically. There's quite a lot of data on rates of violence, sexual and not and it's like 50%. When I look it up, most of the statistics from surveying SWers are like 80-95% wanting to leave though.

Sure but wanting something to continue to exist because it's old is by definition conservative. If you want it to exist for some other reason DESPITE it being old then ok that's not. I still disagree regardless.

Amazing how defenses for sex work are both the "it's the world's oldest profession" quote from a colonizer (which is so blatantly untrue that I'm amazed that anyone believes that) and also "you're a conservative and want to control women if you think coercive rape is wrong" So is it an ancient practice that we need to conserve or something new and progressive

Pick a fucking side
