Making it legal doesn't take the stigma off. A class of women whose job it is to service men sexually stays stigmatized.
I do not believe that an exotic dancer's voice should have more weight than a bartender's on the issue of prostitution. You are attempting to claim that priviledge.
You are attacking me, putting words in my mouth, challenging my history.
You avoided my question. Were you a prostitute or not?
Edited to add, Legalization does not make prostitution safer.
