In reply to the discussion: The unspoken issue at the center of prostitution is causation [View all]Sen. Walter Sobchak
(8,692 posts)An ideology where for one not to be perceived an oppressive religious fascist by the even more over the top "progressives" they must be not just tolerant but a rah-rah enthusiast for any and all forms of sexual activity and substance abuse.
Street level prostitution has changed with the internet and it varies by region largely depending on the vice tolerance of local law enforcement. But the woman being advertised online isn't necessarily or likely in a better set of circumstances than a decade or more ago or enjoy a significantly better back story.
And yes, I 100% believe that "someone who is poor, or addicted to drugs, or who is involved with a criminal element is incapable of giving consent." for the purposes of the creepy libertarian "sex worker" or "service provider" narrative.
