1)To your first point, whenever you have to recourse to "not all X's..." as an argument, you are clearly employing a strawman. You're highlighting possible rare exceptional cases as though they were the rule. As I have pointed out, 70 to 90% of prostituted women are sexual abuse survivors.

2)To your second point (the one about the nature of capitalism), there are some problems that are intrinsic to capitalist economics (which I'm also not a big fan of for those who haven't noticed), I agree, BUT, as I was pointing out to coolbeans, there is handing a random stranger a burger through a drive-through window and then there is having sex with them on their terms and their terms only. Those are very different things that carry radically different volumes of mental-emotional weight. Can you at least recognize that much?

1)Can you link me a study to those numbers? I'm not employing a strawman most Johns aren't sexually assaulting or raping their prostitutes they stick to what was agreed upon before the sex. Why should these people be criminalised.

2)that's the point, it's not "their terms and their terms only", law in germany says that prostitutes can stop with sex when ever they want.

No he cannot link you to such a study because pretty much his whole stance is just his opinion and made up number to justify his stance.  I personally am not a fan of prostitution but during my younger days I knew a lot of women who worked in the trade and none of them were sexually abused, raped or any such thing.  They worked the trade because it paid better than sitting at a desk.  Interesting enough a lot of them were also lesbians as well but that's another story.
