I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it's forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?

So do nothing because the world isn't perfect. ?

As I keep saying. There is scientific evidence supporting the harms of sexual objectification. The harms of making prostitution legal.

You can pretend it's not true. Doesn't change the reality.

You keep making claims, but you don't bring any evidence. I suspect that's because you know how utterly unscientific most of the "studies" that support your position are and how the only thing they really prove is that exploitation of labor is bad regardless of the kind of labor. But since you're really dedicated to the "sex is special and magical" kind of bullshit magical thinking, I'm sure they seem very persuasive to you.
