A basic Libertarian tenet: property rights are fundamental, and the most fundamental of all is the right to control your own body.
At The Curvature, Cara angrily asks the incredible important but uncomfortable question:
I don't think this is an issue of political correctness; I think its one of accuracy and intellectual honesty.
But, hey, that's just an insensitive Libertarian perspective.
At The Curvature, Cara angrily asks the incredible important but uncomfortable question:
Why the fuck do people still keep referring to the practice of selling a child’s body to men as “forced prostitution” instead of what it is: holding a child hostage and allowing men to rape her for a set fee?
Selling rape is not “forced prostitution.” It’s selling rape. The rape of a child is not sex. You cannot “have sex” with a child.” Rape is not sex. It is violence.

In short, I think that Cara's wish has already come true.
I think Cara is talking about media references rather than legal charges. You read a lot about "forced child prostitution" in Thailand, for example.
She's arguing that we should be calling it something like "the business of child rape" in Thailand instead.
