Your stereotype is just that, a stereotype. Either post some facts or at least anecdotal first hand stories.
Oh c'mon, don't act naive. It's probably a lot closer to reality than many of the over-blown fantasies in this thread --- haven't you ever seen the nightly news or TV documentaries about the sex trade? Or ever read about all the prostitutes who have been found murdered? Like the victims of the Long Island serial killer, who were all young women (and one man) who advertised themselves for sexual services on sites like Craigslist.
I'd be just as disappointed as if my daughter wanted to be cleaning lady. But what can you do?
I would feel sorry for your daughter if you don't make a distinction between those things for her. There is nothing wrong with being a cleaning person - some people make good money working for themselves cleaning homes and they don't have to have sex with strangers. I'm sorry there is no difference to you that you would see that = your child being a prostitute.
That is what happens when these things are normalized, you have people, even parents accepting prostitution as equal or preferred to other types of work.
The next step is rape not being that bad, since our bodies aren't that sacred.

Servicing people sexually and servicing people in terms of cleaning are equally bad in my book. I wouldn't want my daughter involved in either.
It's not equal to all types of other work. Certainly working in medicine, finance, technology, etc is preferred and wouldn't be heartbreaking.
The problem with rape is that there is no agreement. It's extremely sad that you can't see the difference between rape and prostitution.

Because women are all stupid and weak and they need to be protected from themselves, right?
?
No, because they are young and inexperienced and don't yet fully understand the consequences of their actions. Because they are young and inexperienced and often mistake legal for right. Prostitution should remain illegal. Using women in this manner is wrong. It takes a sick individual to do so.
This is not some glamorous life we're talking about here. Have you even looked at what life is like for the average prostitute?
This is a decision that has lifelong repercussions that cannot be taken back. Yes, I think young women should be protected but not because I think they're stupid, rather, because I think they're worth it. I think they have value as human beings. Prostitution devalues them as human beings. It turns a person into a sex toy. I think our daughters are worth more than that. As prostitutes they would be used until they were no longer pretty enough and then discarded and new younger recruits brought in. Why would anyone want to make using our daughters in this way legal? Of what value to society would this be?
Oh yes, the naive little women must all save their bodies for their future husbands.
