How do either of the arguments not apply to every single job or task that anyone does for renumeration? I would not do my job without being paid, therefore I am being forced to work against my will?

I have seen multiple feminists make the argument that the phrase "selling their bodies" also applies to football players, chemical workers[1], coal miners. I find it fairly persuasive.

I would not suggest applying logic to most political positions.

Views are formed in the gut, not the brain.

People are against prostitution because they find it disgusting. Their justifications are all ex post facto.

And this applies to most views, including ones I hold (although that's difficult to admit).
