Yours is a typical, delusional belief about the position of feminists and the left on prostitution. Opposition to prostitution comes equally from the right and the left.Don't most feminists believe in more rights for sex workers? I'm pretty sure that's a big feminist thing. Fighting for sex worker rights is a big left thing now.
If anything, it's the right that is fucking up the hobby in the US. Religious conservatives are pushing to kill the hobby....
There are no prominent feminist organizations that clearly support the decriminalization of prostitution for both sex workers and clients. Some feminist organizations hide behind the position of support for the "Nordic Model" i.e. decriminalizing sex work for the provider but not the client. Such a position is hypocritical because it's like saying that it is perfectly legal to work as a barber but not legal for anyone to get a haircut. Such a situation would not exactly improve the lives of barbers any more than it helps sex workers.
Here are two links that clearly show mainstream (not "radical") feminist organizations that oppose prostitution. One is in the U.S. (NOW) and one is in Canada (Canadian Women's Foundation).
This Top Women’s Group Is Tearing Itself Apart Over Sex Work
There’s a growing divide within the feminist movement on whether the sale and purchase of consensual, adult sex should be decriminalized.

Now let's get back to discussing the topic of the thread, i.e., is an 18-year old too young to work as an escort?
