I mean. Yes. People think you are saying the redistribution of sex is good, which is the opposite of what you're saying. The argument is actually "this bad thing is gonna happen bc of y'all's bad sexual ethics," while you let the conservative "stop and go back" bit go unsaid.
But also that title is irresponsible clickbait, you didn't address the issue of entitlement to female bodies that is at the root of the whole shebang, and there's still something kinda gross about saying "all that 'progress' you said you wanted is gonna get you redistributed!!"

Like somehow it would be women's fault if they were commodified. (And worse still, that wanting sex workers to have access to the basic protections of the legal system is gonna get them commodified further.)

also hilarious that this is literally the oldest slur in the book against communists, to the point that it is actively addressed by Marx (or Engels, I don't remember which, probably both.)
