while women and children who are forced into it suffer... and suffer... and suffer.

What matters more? Their ability to cash in renting out their bodies? Or protecting the women and children who are enslaved, abused, exploited, etc?

How is this even fucking up for discussion?

Selfish, inconsiderate people make me fucking ill. But hey, there's MONEY involved.

Also, their attempt to co-opt the -phobia suffix is fucking shameful. "Whorephobia" my ass.
