Have you actually met any sex workers? Talked to them?
Cause I fucked a lot and in a regulated environment at least they did it from their own will. Do they feel financial pressure to work? Yes but that counts for other shit jobs too. This is their way to make ends meet for the single moms, for the young girls it's a fast way to earn cash.
So yes there is a lot of forced prostitution but not in the way that you think. Economic reform is the best anti prostitution measure.
Yeah, you're right. We should just assume sex workers have agency, ignore the evidence about all the other shit around the industry, like pimps, and should be more concerned about government overreach.
Jesus. Yes, we should assume people have agency and not reduce them to helpless beings we need to white knight like you are doing. Lots of sex workers need help, lots don't. The way you are generalising is kind of silly.
EVERETT, Wash. The city of Everett said Friday it has agreed to suspend enforcement of two new ordinances aimed at forcing bikini baristas to cover up, pending the outcome of a lawsuit challenging the new laws.
