My stance with regards to sex work is simple: I believe sex workers should be organized, johns should be send to reeducation, and pimps should face the wall.
So, once all the johns are reeducated then what? Who are the clients for the newly organized sex workers? Not sure there's any consistency in your stance on those two groups.
You can be a consenting sex worker in the west because most people can switch to any job in an instant - you can’t do that outside the west and developed nations much of the time. ‘Sex work’ isn’t positive for everyone.
It shouldn't be equated to the horrendous trafficking faced in China and Korea and still faced somewhat more quietly throughout Southeast Asia (and beyond), but I must point out that many prostitutes even in the west are still doing it out of desperation and still may struggle to escape it should they try to leave.
If they are under the authority of a pimp, they may face violent reprisal, and there are also practices by pimps such as deliberately getting prostitutes addicted to drugs to prevent them from being able to leave.
Your statement stands for other forms of sex work within the west, of course.

It’s funny how police will chase individual prostitutes to the ends of their jurisdiction and beyond, but won’t touch the pimps.
it's the same reason they'll go after "illegal immigrants", but never the business owners who intentionally employ them as cheap labor.
cops protect capital.
Cheers to the part about pimps. Johns are fine, some people want sex :shrug-outta-hecks:

100% full agree there
The people who do this are saying a lot more about their own prejudices than they realize.
