Sounds awful paternalistic. Have you considered the possibility that people who make choices you disagree with have agency?

Absolutely, which is why I would like to hold people who choose to purchase sex accountable for their human rights violations. They have agency; they have the choice not to purchase sex and yet they do so anyway.

If you're deliberately misinterpreting my post, we're done. If you're not, I see no point in engaging further with you.
Once again, if only for the peanut gallery: you are asserting that no sex workers have agency in the matter of their employment. Yes or no?

I am saying that sex workers' agency is immaterial to whether or not their clients are committing human rights abuses.
"People who see prostitution as something which exists on a number of different, exclusive and distinct class-related levels are people who do not understand the interrelated nature of it, and some of the people ignorant of the shifting nature of prostitution are actually prostitutes and prostitutors themselves."
