Such an attitude about women, will become institutionalized. "If one woman will sell her body, why wouldn't all of them?"
The idea that 'all women are whores' becomes ubiquitous. In countries where prostitution is legalized, such a job is looked upon as a career opportunity for women.
There was an incident a year or so ago in a country where prostitution is legal, where a teenage girl, looking for her first job, was sent an application to wait tables in a whorehouse.
The offer was retracted, the government said it was a mistake as the girl was too young, but what would have happened if she was old enough?

Many people would loathe working as a book-keeper in an accountancy firm; They would think of it as a living hell. But that's OK, because such people can simply not work as book-keepers.
But when it comes to prostitution, you seem to think that more protections than just the freedom to choose not to do a job you would hate are required. Why is that?
Your arguments seem to start from the flawed premise 'Prostitution is ALWAYS bad'; Is that what you believe? If so, can you support it with any evidence, or are we supposed to simply accept it as axiomatic?
