Yeah, you’re talking out of your ass.

You need to actually research this topic instead of believing conservative talking points about the sex work industry.

No you’re right. They don’t have extremely high rates of being sexually assau…

45 to 75 percent.

And this isn’t exactly a conservative source. Turns out the people playing for sex aren’t always the greatest people.

I never said they don’t have extremely high rates of being sexually assaulted - you did and then you proceeded to argue against yourself.

If you read the document you linked though, you’d see that it actually supports the decriminalisation of sex work because this would reduce the amount of violence experienced by sex workers.

It also says that the proportion of men who are violent against sex workers is quite small and those men are serial offenders.

Again, stop listening to conservatives on this and actually read the documents instead of trying to find things to support your own point of view.

It supports my whole point. The world of sex work is filled with abuse and all sorts of nefarious stuff going on. You don’t want someone involved in it teaching kids anything about sex.

Doesn’t matter if it’s a small fraction of offenders, because those small fraction of offenders still affect the majority of sex workers.
