I’m not projecting or generalizing, I’m saying the legalization of sex work doesn’t protect desperate people from degrading themselves for money. Only proper regulation and social safety nets will do that. I have no problem with sex workers (and I apologize for using an outdated term) on a moral basis as long as all the workers are not forced into it. Legalized prostitution protects the sex capitalist from prosecution, but it does not protect the sex worker from the sex capitalist who would leverage their position of power to abuse them. You can point to on documentary as an example of how it should work, but you cannot say that it is how it always works.

Didn’t say that’s how it always works.
And if you already think that having sex for money is an act of degradation, you’re seeing things through a narrow lens.
If you don’t want to read what I wrote, that’s fine. But I’m not going to argue with things you just make up.
