what you call word salad is a discussion of someone besides yourself, so obviously you consider their lives entirely irrelevant.
You insist on defining the issue of the sex trade so that the only people to consider are men of means. I point to posts by a member who saw an entire population of her sex workers, her friends, killed, through disease, murder, suicide, and serial killers, and you consider their lives irrelevant to the issue. She talks about their being raped by Johns from a young age, and you insist that is inconsequential because it doesn't promote the interests of the only thing that matters--men who buy sex. If you actually have any experience with prostitution, you know that underage sex workers are the norm. Pretending otherwise says you either have no idea what you are talking about or are deliberately seeking to deflect.
I challenge you to name one country or even one state where the sex trade is entirely of adults, where no children are prostituted. You won't be able to find it. Underage prostitution is central to the institution. It is a businesses that sells children to be raped by adult men.
On this very board we had a member argue that girls as young as nine willingly "choose" prostitution as a "profession." For him, that "choice" justified their violation.
You have made clear you don't read what I write, so don't comment on it. It's clearly goes over your head anyway. You haven't read Marx, so you think Marxist analysis is word salad. You repeat the most horrifyingly uninformed comments about female house slaves as privileged "concubines," and naturally you won't bother reading a response with sources from someone who has actually studied the subject at the doctoral level. You won't read what I have to say about the sex trade because I have actually first-hand experience with it and some knowledge of academic literature on the subject, both of which you are determined to ignore to maintain your one-dimensional view of the world. I long ago gave up any illusion that you were interested in intellectual exchange. It's like trying to get blood from a turnip. Since I don't engage you, you don't need to make snipe remarks about my posts that clearly you don't understand.
