Ultimately, theoretically, I consider prostitution as the core problem of the whole feminist problematic, and I cannot very well get along with feminist moralists who spout drivel about this, and vent all sorts of confusing abstractions, rather than making a specific, critical and self-critical investigation. In these things, one has to go to the core of the matter, the heart of the matter, and not skirt around the issue with a lot of claptrap and moralisms.
The heart of the matter for me is that if men stopped paying women for sex, the entire problem of prostitution would disappear. What would it take for men to do that? I don't know; taking themselves and their passions seriously? That would be a good start.
