No Sliding Scale At All? Really?

“There’s no sliding scale in the exploitation of women . . . . Either you exploit a woman in the commercial sex trade or you don’t.”

Thus the danger of believing passionately in any undeniably noble cause. You become unable to see, e.g., any meaningful moral distinction between "exploiting" a child who is held in literal slavery being forced to perform sex acts for money and "exploiting" an adult woman who is an independent contractor performing sex acts for several thousand dollars an hour of her own free will.
