The majority of prostituted women want to exit
Poor women and girls of color are disproportionately funneled into the sex industry
The industry relies on there being a vulnerable and uncared for class of women and girls to sexually exploit
Racism, classism, imperialism, slavery, and colonialism are all embedded in or connected to prostitution
Prostitution is a cause and result of inequality between the sexes
The sex industry is proven to rely heavily on trafficking and exploitation
It promotes violence against women
It is violence against women
Prostitution is inherently violent
The sex industry encourages, promotes, and caters to male sexual entitlement
Under full decriminalization and legalization, prostituted women are still murdered, raped, assaulted, and stolen from by pimps and johns
Women who have escaped from prostitution have high rates of PTSD and other disorders
The industry promotes fetishization, stereotypes, and sexualized racism and racialized sexism against women of color
“Consensual sex work” and human trafficking are inescapably linked (Oof)
The liberation of women and an industry dedicated to the objectification of women cannot coexist
It reduces women to sexual objects and masturbatory aids
The sex industry preys on the most marginalized women and girls
Porn culture harms women and girls (yes, even “feminist” porn)
The normalization of sex as “work” degrades the status of women as a class
These are a few reasons for the abolitionist stance I came up with at the top of my head. The only reason to be pro-porn and pro-prostitution is if one believes that the orgasms of johns, profits of pimps, and pleasure of a few “happy hookers” is worth more than the safety, freedom, and humanity of every other woman and girl.
The sex industry is incompatible with feminism.
