Yeah, we wouldn't want consenting adults to make their own choices.



We don't want to put people in a place where the only choices available to them are shitty ones. We want a world in which everyone can make a choice they truly want and would still take even when all circumstances in their life are optimal.

Powerful, happy, balanced, rich people do not tend to work in the sex trade. Can you imagine Condolezza Rice or Hillary Clinton or Marissa Mayer deciding that porn or prostitution is what they really wanted to do all along but just could never find the time for?


>Can you imagine Condolezza Rice or Hillary Clinton

You say this like these people are shining examples of people doing good for mankind. They're run-of-the-mill politicians. I couldn't care less about their porn or political careers. I'm sure the void would have been filled by someone.


I didn't say they ought to be admired or not. I said they were powerful. (And why did you neglect Marissa Mayer?)

Powerful people do not typically choose porn or prostitution.
