Is there solid, empirical evidence that prostitution harms women? Would it harm women less if it were legalized (since frequent tests for STDs would be required and there would be zero chance of assault or rape)?
@seflersinsburg10 I think it should definitely be decriminalized. Many of these women have to turn to pimps for protection. They are subjected to to all types of peril. Add to that, they are arrested and treated like garbage. And that is just pathetic!!!
@TheVeganHere I am inclined to agree with you, but I'd like to hear the case that feminists make against the practice. I'm sure there are a variety of opinions, but I'm especially curious to hear the views of those who believe it ought to remain illegal. Why do they hold this position?
Prostitution can be safer when legalized and regulated, but the majority of sex-workers don't enter into that work because it's empowering; typically there are early & continued histories of sexual abuse at play.
Thanks for posting. I've been following Nellie's career / activism for a while now and look forward to someday meeting her. Her song "The Dog Song" is a classic.

Not all feminists are against the practice.

@seflersinsburg10 I couldn't understand all the lyrics either. I loved what I did understand though. :-)
