Prostitution Tells Women What They Can and Can’t Do With Their Own Bodies

Prostitution, as a practice, just is men telling women what they can and can’t do with their bodies. It’s men telling women how to use their bodies, how to move their bodies, how to dress their bodies.

Like all markets, supply responds to demand and the customer is always right. The problem is that the customer wants a fuckable object, not a human being.
