If people realized how horrible their lives were. They go to Pompeii, see the brothels, look at the incredible small and suffocating rock bedrooms with rock beds where barely two people could Fit, they learn that most of them were Born or forced into prostitution and would have never been able to pay for their own freedom because they were paid literal pennies...
And they still Will twist this goddamned horror into "they were sex workers and they enjoyed it! ". No, asshole. They were slaves. Most prostitutes today are slaves too. Most are addicted to substances or have violent pimps breathing down their neck.
They get sick, beaten, raped, they may not have rock beds anymore but... Has anyone seen the little garages with small cubicules used as bedrooms for prostitutes in germany?? There Is barely any difference.
They are not sex workers. They never were. Prostitution Is slavery.
