That wasn't what I was saying, and you know it.

There are rampant injustices everywhere in the world in the sex trade, but it doesn't mean everyone in that trade is treated unjustly.

I not saying dismiss, deny or deflect any attention or concern about those injustices. I'm just saying do not paint every person who works in that field with the same brush. You seem intent on doing so.
