77. Legalizing prostitution is one of those ideas that can sound
reasonable but never really lives up to the claims. Legalized brothels in Europe mean that no one is ever forced into prostitution, right? Then explain the number of girls from Russia and the old Eastern bloc who sign up for waitressing jobs and end up forced into prostitution. I say girls purposely because a lot of these women are under 18.

It reminds me of polygamy. It can be justified in theory, but somehow women end up being degraded in every society that practices polygamy.
