To try to articulate one gross and overly-simplistic rationale: Price fixing. Because prostitution is the cheapest sex there is, it forces the cost downward. Sex has always been a negotiable commodity. You pay one way or the other in the long run. If prostitution were legalized, the stigma would evenutally evaporate, competition would increase and the economic value of sex would diminish.

I believe many womens' obsessions about their looks is directly due to their attempts to make their sex more valuable than someone else's. Legalizing prostitution would be devastating to gyneconomics. One rarely mentioned reason that more and more women are in the workforce is because sex is becoming cheaper and more available.

Feminism and the sexual revolution has pretty much back-fired on women. To counter this we see all kinds of artificial economic pressures such as the fictitious claims of gender wage disparity, affirmative action, unjust divorce law, etc.

Legalizing prostitution would be the nail in the coffin, so to speak.

In my opinion, I don't see women being happier now. They are beginning to work harder and longer are angrier and are dying sooner.

For men the issue would become even more one of why buy when you can rent?

Right about now, before flaming, please re-read the first sentence.
