| 31. So keep it illegal meanwhile, until utopia happens? |
|
Because it is so much less demeaning to be a prostitute and be harrassed by the police and have to resort to pimps for protection? Jail is less demeaning?
How do you know that all prostitutes 'resort' to this profession? Is it just possible that some people actually like being prostitutes?
Is the demand for sex workers going to magically disappear in your utopia? How is that going to happen? Won't the wage rate for sex workers simply increase?
