Thet is an interesting point. Today, there exist people for whom sex work is a job, like any other, as distinct from earlier times when it was essentially always forced in more direct ways.
So, does general economic coercion under capitalism for survival mean that sex work, done under coercion for survival, is thus similar to sex under coercion, ie rape?
If so, then it means sex work done for survival should be illegal, like other forms of rape. But then what about the people who are left without a job?
Maybe there should be adequate provisions for those people to still be able to live and hopefully do some other work. But that is then a distinct matter where we are arguing for the emancipation of all proletarians, ie socialism.
We should be able to ban rape even without ending capitalism.
Unless the general economic conditions aren’t considered rape. It’s so complicated.
