To the extent that sex is like a commodity, guess what - it's for sale!

Why is it then that the most vocal critics of pornography and prostitution are generally women? Women seem to treat porn stars and prostitutes (and to some extent 'sluts') as scabs. Ongoing efforts are made to make pornography and prostitution illegal for the same underlying reasons that any cartel attempts to use the government to increase individual members' profits by reducing competition.

I agree -- but also take note that it seems that a large portion of those advocating for sex workers' rights are women.
