I completely understood your point and I even think it had merit
I'm just saying that it's the sorta thing that if I said it, it would be misinterpreted as me defending the church due to my obvious Christian sensibilities...
Despite me not believing in Jesus and being more of a depraved hedonistic deviant than the lot of you, in terms of actual sexual behavior.

I'm not gonna try to put words into OH's mouth but what I imagine he would try to say if he was as smart as I am is that exploitation of workers applies to exploitation of sex workers as well, and exploitation of workers can be both sexual and non-sexual and both are based on the power dynamics of capitalism and you can't solve either exploitation or sexual exploitation in capitalism without solving the inherent problems in the power dynamics of capitalism that will exist so long as capitalism exists.

maybe. It seemed to me like he was somewhat irritated at society prioritizing sexual abuse above other forms of exploitation.
