I am not sure I understand. The links you pointed to seem to advocate for decriminalization and more rights for sex workers. That's kind of orthogonal to my point about most sex-workers being poor and destitute and lacking in choice. I assume that this is not factually in dispute - if so I am happy to dig up some data. I understand Michael Perelman's reluctance to permit a discussion on a controversial subject. But can you perhaps point me to a link to the old thread on the subject?
