should prostitution brothels be legal?

Yes (feminist)

It's issues like this that radical feminists give feminism a bad name.

Radical feminists giving feminism a bad name by being anti-male, but you don't need to be anti-male to be concerned about women being exploited by brothels.  How would brothel legalization poll among the general public?  20% or so?

I'm somewhere near CrabCake on this one.

A) Being against brothels is anti-male (and anti-female).
B) Worried about exploitation? Then regulate them. Ever heard of workplace safety?
C) Who cares how it would poll. One shouldn't make public policy decisions based on opinion polls alone. For the record though, I suspect brothels would poll somewhere in the 30s. At least it would here; there's likely at least a 10 point gap between Canada and the US.
 

What?  No. Regardless of the merits, being opposed to it doesn't make someone Andrea Dworkin.  It's not what gives feminism a bad name.
