I think we do provided we make coercion illegal and prosecute properly. "Let's make X illegal so no-one can feel pressured into X' is generally illiberal.https://twitter.com/kareem_sabri/status/960176316208185345 …

Provided, as I said, there’s reason to believe it’s members aren’t given real choice to participate or not. The army is illiberal but I’m not critical of those who sign up voluntarily. I am of those who sign up because they lack other options etc. /2

Good q. I’m not anti any particular job, certainly some women choose to do and enjoy sex work. I’m anti conditions that cause a human to have no options but that job. It may be necessary, but I think it’s a social problem. Liberalism requires the conditions to make choices, no?

To a certain extent. People certainly have to be able to choose from the options that are there. I'm not sure liberalism requires us to make other options ppl will enjoy & there will always be unpleasant jobs that need doing.

I don’t think we have to provide alternative enjoyable job options, but there should be a path out of the circumstances the necessitate that job. Ideally without too much suffering on the way out. Poverty shouldn’t be a trap you must be born and die in, for example.

I don't think we disagree at all here.
