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.
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?

This is very very true.
We have (in Australia) legalised prostitution and one result is exactly this - more of our single female friends are staying in the workforce because they cant get married.
The cheapening of sex means that men - potential husbands - just dont bother to court these single women. 25 years ago (when we were like US), men would make an effort and would perhaps marry for sex, the lucky couple would have babies and the wives would stay out of the workforce for as long as financial circumstances would allow.
In our social group there are now a lot of women friends who are missing out on partnerships.
