Anti-prostitution laws are a modern example of this. If completely banning the occupation, where some workers are exploited, is a reasonable response. Describing adults as incompetent children has been used historically to justify black slavery and deny women their rights as full citizens of the country. Instead, the law goes after the men. Their fight for their rights has been long and hard, even longer than that of the slaves. Even many so-called liberals are now advocating the Swedish model of anti-prostitution laws. Slavery didn’t go away on its own. Women actually have a right to have sex for money, when they make porn. Which makes me ask, whether these feminists are really feminists, or whether they are just claiming to be feminists to destroy feminism from inside? A reasonable response would be to have programs and rules for monitoring possible exploitation, ending it whenever it’s found, and punishing those responsible. And women didn’t get their rights as a result of men’s benevolence either.
