#minus the immigration in countries like thailand or colombia but the mindset is the same

this might be controversial but hear me out.

prostitution is sold to impoverished women as their only option - but not to men. so what are impoverished men doing? are they all unemployed? i dont think so.

some men go into prostitution as well - but its not as common and not as much sold to them as a last resort. why? because mainly men buy sex, and most men are not gay or bisexual. almost as if… sex is not a service but actually selling your body and sexuality.

i think that impoverished women are systematically pushed into prostitution, and i think the rhetoric of prostitution advocates supports this.

because why is there an absolute lack of options for women, but not for men, which makes them enter prostitution en masse? why arent women supported and advised to enter construction work, cleaning, farming, dish washing and other „low skilled“ jobs that impoverished men (and some women) do?

we know that the answer is misogyny. this is nothing new. but what i have wondered is how much the rhetoric of „they have to be in prostitution, they have no other options“ is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

you are not doing women in prostitution any favors by destigmatising and normalising being bought for sex. many just accept their fate: well there is no other options, im not even going to try. the women i know do this. i cant get a job on the regular job market anyways. everyone tells me this is how it is.

what if the lack of options is artificially created, and pro prostitution advocates unknowingly enforce this?

listen. dont men have a class interest of keeping prostitution alive and well? because they want women to be sexually available, to be legally sexually exploited, because they want less competition on the job market, because they dont think women being abused is a big deal and the legitimisation of prostitution as a real profession is validating men who sexually abuse women for payment.

what if many young women are groomed into prostitution by being told this is the only option. they are guilt tripped by saying this is the only way to support your family. i know that, especially with eastern european women who immigrate to germany, they are usually advised to enter prostitution in germany by women they know who are also prostituted in germany.

we will never break this cycle if we keep advocating for legal prostitution.

if buying sex stays legal, the next generation of girls is already being groomed into prostitution. they already see their sisters, mothers, cousins and friends enter prostitution. it‘s normal. the woman sacrificing her body and dignity for her child or her family, sometimes her partner. and the social workers tell them you are a professional. and the liberal feminists tell them you are empowered. and the sex buyers keep calling them slut and whore and ask if they can pay extra for anal penetration or pissing on them.

but hey they say they can take it and they dont know what else to do so lets support them by keeping them in prostitution! are you so for real right now? dont you see how fucked up it is to tell a woman who says she has no other option but being sexually abused for money „you are right, you dont have options and i support men sexually abusing you because this is your choice“. like
