    This is a good opportunity to ask why sex work is still illegal (unless you’re rich ofc) in the US.

    We could basically end the incel phenomenon and deal a huge blow to the sex slavery trade overnight (and for very little cost to taxpayers or society) by making sex work legal and bringing it into daylight.

    • Sex work is illegal because giving people the ability to use something they own (their body) as their own means of production removes a barrier to success, causing some of the power to slip away from the owning class. If I can charge $200 an hour for hole rental services I don’t have to work a corporate job, which means my labor can’t be exploited. This is (for the owning class) of course a bad thing.

        Really? You are willing to shag anybody for merely $200? Or, more probably, 4 people for 50$ each?

        Don’t oversimplify this whole problem. It is, like almost all problems, not a black and white problem.
