if like me you believe that there is something fundamentally abusive about any act of buying a person for sex...
I was going to write a big post here explaining my position, but it's probably not worth it if we're coming at it from such totally different angles.
As you probably know most (arguably all) prostitutes are coerced into selling their bodies, or doing it as desperate manner of survival - not free choice.
Listen to sex workers and shut up.
The end.

Strange that you of all people take an anti-academic line. You rightly say that more prostitutes' voices should be heard but that's hardly feminists' fault. Lots of research is carried out, they're not just making this stuff up!
The abolitionist arguments I've read (from feminists or not) are backed up with research and the horrific statistics of abuse and murder caused by the sex industry pretty much speak for themselves.
Thanks for your enlightening contribution and good night
For every German or Australian sex worker who controls her own income and terms of employment, there must be dozens who are trafficked and effectively enslaved.
