Absolutely. Streetwalking, brothel, private prostitution, all of it.

Well, I see prostitution as a form of oppression of women, reducing them to a state of merchandise. I however think that the anti-prostitution law shouldn't focus on prostitutes, but rather on procurers.

Dude, everyone is reduced to the state of merchandise in capitalism.  You're just a prude to focus on the sexual aspect.

I'm just coherent with my other political views.

Here's a bit of counterintuitive wisdom:

Your stance is actually oppressive against women. That is, if you recognize prostitution can be a legitimate choice one can make for themselves. You're mistaking the problem within the bigger sphere.

Why do you say that ? Didn't I make it clear that my problem was toward organized prosititution ?

It's still without merit. Being able to organize is actually safer than winging it alone, depending on the set up.

No, sorry. I already find scandalous that there is a health insurance market, that there will soon be a prisions market and a military market. But a sex market, never mind.

The two former markets can be made to disappear, but there's literally no way to stamp out prostitution. The right thing to do is make it safer, and stop hunting pros and johns, regardless of organized or solo prostitution.

Basically your argument is "we can't do anything so let's not do anything".

Hell no. I'm saying that our approach is wrong, and that the commonly held belief about prostitution is ill founded. I'm also saying that you make it legal so that millions don't end up on the wrong end of the legal system.
