8. "... a brothel where all the women or girls are from somewhere else, they're slaves."

You say that like they care.

The booming trade in places like Amsterdam, where prostitution is legal and trafficking is rampant, proves they do not.

Then there's self-reported disinterest. The men who provide reviews of the prostitutes they rent might mention a passing suspicion that the woman they rent is trafficked, but that's it. They still take full advantage. Exploiting disadvantaged human beings for sex is an age old tradition. Those who exploit others this way do not care about the background of the body they rent.

A common response from those who defend the practice is to point to other systems which also exploit disadvantaged people, in the effort to use the claim 'but they do it too, and worse!' as an excuse. It is deplorable behavior.
