My biggest problem here is that pretty much all working class labour has deep power imbalances and rampant systemic exploitation, but none of the discussion around it robs the labourer of quite as much agency as the discussion around prostitution. Very few people point to Amazon warehouse pickers and say the nature of the work is so obviously non-consensual it should be illegal, even if they're forced into it by impending homelessness or addiction.

It irritates me when people who are making the best of the hand they're dealt get talked down to like they haven't made a choice, and thrown in jail because they're trying to put food on the table. Yeah, vulnerable people are prostituting themselves because the alternative is worse, but how does making prostitution illegal fix the problem? It's a dumb knee-jerk reaction that makes everything worse - prostitution is driven underground, governments can't ask about working conditions or prosecute bad johns, and vulnerable people end up in jail.
