    If you believe that sex is inherently different than any other physical or mental activity, why?

    The sex trade / rape industry cannot be equated to other industries, and especially to production. It is based on the historical patriarchal exploitation of women’s bodies and reproductive capacity, and today’s sex trade is the culmination of thousands of years of women’s oppression. No one, especially men, are entitled to sex. Production is necessary, rape isn’t.

    The battleground here is women’s bodies and sexual autonomy, fighting to preserve their bodily autonomy from rapists holding the money that allow them to survive.

    passive coercion everyone faces under capitalism with the kind of active coercion

    Once you start learning about the horrorshow of the sex trade, you’ll see how blurred those lines are, so as to make the distinction between trafficked women and poverty-forced prostitution meaningless.

      You must be very strongly against the institution of marriage then.

      And where do trafficked boys fit into your theory?

        Have you ever even talked to a Marxist feminist? The answer is yes. Communists have even written about how difficult it is to fight prostitution when the institution of marriage exists.

        Sorry, I should’ve included the trafficking of children, also an important aspect of the sex trade.

        And yes communists unsurprisingly have a lot to say about the institution of bourgeios marriage.
