But tbf, if the choice is "risk prison for hooker" and "risk prison for goddamn rape" I think the choice is clear.

at the same time, I wouldn't redirect a potential rapist to a sexworker. Shit can go incredibly wrong for her, even if he ends up paying.

Fair, but that was the choice that was set up in the parent comment, risking prison was already a foregone conclusion.

(And the real answer to the parent comment is "because it's about control, not sex" but still)
