Someone simply isn't a slave if they are selling the work or use of their own body & keeping the money.
But these are not the same. You have not made the connection between sex-work & slavery. Slaves did not own themselves.

Sex workers do not own themselves. 80% of sex workers were inculcated as children. That is not choice.

Is that the case? Thinking abt England right now, I don't think so. Are you happy for prostitutes to exist here?

3/ of exploitation. Sex is not a right, not a commodity.

It can be a commodity if someone decides to sell it. I know some people who have. You don't have to sell it tho.
-
I'm aware that in England, the people I know who chose to sell it had many more options than elsewhere in the world.

Which is why I agree with you re: poverty, limited opportunities & psychological or physical coercion.

It's misleading when you make 'prostitution' the problem rather than poverty, lack of choice etc. But Twitter is limiting.

Prostitution is a problem when it is used as a stop-gap to other probs. You can't use one form of exploitation to solve another.
