False Fantasy
"A lot of people more thoughtful than Oscar Goodman believe that prostitution should be legalized as a way of protecting and empowering the women who go into the sex trade. I’ve lost patience with those arguments, however well meaning. Real-world prostitution, in whatever guise, bears no resemblance at all to the empowerment fantasies of prostitution proponents. I have never seen such vulnerable, powerless women as those in the sex trade, legal or illegal."

Don't care to pay for Times Select, but ... Where has Bob Herbert seen powerless women in the legal sex trade? Has he visited with representatives of prostitute unions in Europe?

He did not mention any meetings with the European prostitute union.
