    It sounds like we mostly agree then.

    sex work doesn’t exist in the same way in every part of the world either and many are slaves trafficked into it.

    The same thing can be said about agriculture, the fishing industry, cruise ship workers, manufacturing, etc. Slavery is a common method of exploitation throughout the global south because imperialism is evil.

      Yep for sure, slavery exists in most industries. You should be expected to be against sex slavery and trafficking and anyone who uses that to delegitimize sex workers who aren't related to that shit should STFU.
