I’ve seen some very heated debates by leftists on both sides of the argument that have left me very confused.

    Yeah, that seems pretty reasonable, in a way. Provide everyone in the industry the means of survival (money, food, housing etc) and see how many stay in that profession. For those who do, it is voluntary. For those who’ve left, it was coerced.

    That should just be done for all workers, of course. And might just be a lower stage of socialism, now that I think about it.

        Yeah, thinking about it more, if the argument is that such sex work, under general economic coercion, is rape, then we should be able to end it even without ending capitalism as a whole.
