Many of the 'women have a right to their own bodies' people are really 'women have a right to their own bodies insofar as we think it's a good idea' people, as evidenced by the laws that prohibit women from choosing to have sex if there's money involved.

It’s not a choice when it’s exploitation of economic vulnerability and poverty, in the same way organ trafficking is not about bodily autonomy and free will. If so many women were willing, sex and surrogacy trafficking wouldnt be a global issue & multi-million $ industry

I'd be okay with this argument if you applied it equally to everything. Don't allow people in economic vulnerability to work as massage therapists, in coal mines, anything that involves their body or any sort of risk. Only wealthier people can do it.

For fun, why don't we add "no poor boys may join the military out of financial desperation", to cover the male stereotypical equivalent? But those people always seem fine with lotsa thrown-out 18-year-olds in the Marines. Applaud it, even.

Giving a massage or doing physical labour and being naked while having someone insert a part of their body into yours are fundamentally different. That you don’t recognise that is, frankly, very disturbing
