I read that somewhere and I think it’s a really apt comparison. Both sex trafficking and rape can include various degrees of coercion but any degree of coercion is wrong. Sex work and sex are both things that one should never force another person into–and they become horrible, traumatic violations when one does–but they are not bad things for a person in and of themselves. Both sex trafficking and rape require you to be the perfect innocent victim to be believed by society, and society sees all the perpetrators as monsters, probably of color, who kidnap young girls from shopping malls, which is not accurate. And so on.
