I remember leftists women I knew back in the day telling me how wonderful it was that Amsterdam legalized prostitution. They told me that it had made it safer for the women. That the 19 year olds waiting in the booths to be "purchased" all chose to be there and doing that.
These were Leftists women who had wandered the red light district out of curiosity. They admitted that all of the scantily-dressed women in those glass booths waiting with bows around their neck had blank expressions. That the dead-eyed, blank-face of the prostitutes had worried them until the tour guide quickly reassured them that the prostitutes in Amsterdam are told to show no expression and be glass-eyed. Not smiling is just a part of their profession, the tour guide said.
These leftists women quickly ate it up and insisted that those young women were following their dreams and loved being prostitutes (because that's what the tour guide told these leftists women).
I said, "Sounds like BS to me" and they got furious and insisted, "Women should be allowed to practice prostitution safely. It's their body, their choice." When I asked if they wanted to be prostitutes they stammered, "It's not our dream, but we support women who want to purse that career!"
Looking back the whole thing stunk from the start. I always wondered about what kind of young women want to go into that field. I don't think it's a field many choose to go into.
