Description
Prostitution, strip clubs and pornography have become increasingly embedded in mainstream culture. As society grapples with the sex trade, questions arise about how to respond. Some argue that prostitution is just work, porn is fantasy, and demand is inevitable, suggesting full legalization would make it safe. Kat Banyard disagrees, arguing that these views are profoundly dangerous. She contends that sexual consent is not a commodity, objectification and abuse are inherent to prostitution, and the sex trade poses a grave threat to women's equality. By examining first-hand investigation, interviews, and research, Banyard powerfully argues against the myths surrounding the sex trade. Her book, Pimp State, presents a compelling case that challenges those who advocate for full legalization of the sex trade.
