I never voiced my attitude towards legalization of prostitution. I addressed very specific weak argument.

Sorry, if you found my comment rude, i assure you that this was not my goal.

You used abortion there. I don't think we could get a consent from fetus, law just assumes that female parent have a power over it's life until some development point.

People consensually participate at gambling, dueling, pyramid schemes, become criplled drugs and alcohol addicts, selling themselves and they family to slavery, do suicide.

Nor consent, nor something being an old and persistent part of the human culture are good reasoning.



I said sex work is an old profession to exemplify why banning it doesn't work. I certainly didn't present the age of the profession as the sole reason for legalizing it.

I don't think you consider assassination and prostitution equivilant crimes, yet you made the comparison. Why? What's the point of taking something out of context to invalidate it?

If you have reasons for opposing the legalization of sex work, they're completely lost on me. Maybe start there instead of pedantry.
