A stark and refreshing contrast to the agendas of today where prostitution is defended under the guise of "it's the woman's right to choose". This highlights that most women in prostitution are not there by choice, but because they are forced into it.

The only bit I challenge is that prostitution is an extension of the patriarchal society. I think it's just plain bad in and of itself.

What about the men and women who are in prostitution by choice? A friend of mine is a SWer who drives a new Bentley, should she sacrifice her life of luxury to help less fortunate colleagues?

This argument is like “what about the minors who want to date middle aged men?”

Is it possible a few want to do it? History shows us yes. Is it the likely situation? History shows us no, by an absolute long shot. The correct answer which errs on the correct side is to ban the behavior, thus saving tons legal fees and often coerced defenses.

To be fair, the Nordic countries tend to be very accepting of such cases.
