Even when posed with the hypothetical of safe, legal, and well regulated prostitution, most women claim to be against it because they are against the "commodification of sex" and see this as a dealbreaker in men.

However, it's pretty clear that they don't give actually give damn about whether or not people pay for sex like any other service. You can see the hypocricy in how they've reacted to women talking about their experiences with hiring male escorts. It's really about not feeling like their partner is "settling" for them just like men.

Women don't want men to be able to have sex with a 10/10 giga-Stacy whenever he wants. Most women don't want to be the "stable" choice of a man who spent his 20s sleeping with women way out of his league who would never date him and who they know could cheat on her at a moment's notice.
