> What’s funny is prostitution was legal most of the time and in most places in the western world until recently.

That attitude towards prostitution closely correlates with those same societies considering women to be property. Anti-prostitution laws and the emancipation of women go hand-in-hand.

Bull.Shit. Yet again you are making shit up. Prostitution is literally called 'the oldest profession' for a reason. It is legal right now in many places- Canada, for example. Those women aren't the property of some evil man.

Maybe edutate yourself, or speak to someone who works in the profession before shoving your biases and lies into a conversation about w very serious topic.

It’s illegal in Canada, but only for the buyer. Which goes along with modern prohibition being an anti-man feminist thing.
