Honestly, if you live in a place where prostitution is not only legal but well-regulated enough that sex workers not only are protected from exploitation but receive benefits, you are the minority. In that setting, it might be appropriate to get into the ethics of it all -- and yes, all those conditions must apply, you'd be naive to believe just because something is nominally legal means it can't be a problem.

The US, being a developed country and all, doesn't have the HIV/AIDS issue to the extent that the developing world does, but the sex trade is still heavily linked in many cities with gang activity, organized crime, and human trafficking. Even Canada has trafficking problems, and they don't even have the crime stats the US does. Knowing all this, and the fact that the general attitude toward female sexuality is terrible, to say nothing of sex workers, it's not a bad thing to err on the side of caution. The "system" as it is is broken, so if you contribute to it, it makes you complicit. It's not about how people should feel about sex workers as people, it's more that the industry is full of problems and they can't exactly be blind to that, whatever else may happen in the few countries that don't face such issues.

I'd question whether you exist tbh. Where is this magical land with well-regulated prostitution? Hint; not Germany or the Netherlands.
