the big problem with sex work is that it's all too often the only realistic option for someone to support themselves -- platitudes about "empowerment," "sexual agency," etc are dangerously naïve at best. the argument that sex work should be treated like any other job is also very very wrong. standard occurrences like firing someone for not doing their work gain some pretty horrifying implications when applied to sex work.
that's not to say, of course, that criminalising prostitution is at all a good idea; the only thing that accomplishes is pushing the industry underground and making exploitation even easier. really the best policy is having fully legal sex work, aggressive policing against exploitation, and a guaranteed minimum income.
