No, prostitution is not a "job," and I refuse to use the bullshit words "sex work" and "sex workers" to describe the horror that it is.

Any government that allows the decriminalisation of pimping and sex-buying sends a message to its citizens that women are vessels for male sexual consumption. If prostitution is “work”, will states create training programmes for girls to perform the “best oral sex” for sex buyers? Instead of including prostitution as a so-called option in its immigration policies, New Zealand should investigate the harms, including sexual violence, that women in prostitution endure.

Anybody who proposes this ought to be shot, right along with the johns and the pimps.
