If you look into the subject of #ComfortWomen you'll find victims who were kidnapped minors, others deceived yet others previously in prostitution knowing they'd be entering a brothel. This doesnt make the latter group immune to the extreme violence & exploitation that occurred.

On the one hand definitive victims of military sexual slavery are being labelled "sex workers" on the other hand the harmful myth is propagated that such brutal military brothels didnt particularly harm women who were "experienced hardened sex workers". That is dehumanizing.
The exact same dynamics play out in modern prostitution: Those groups are all in the modern brothels next to each other and all subjected to the same brutal market forces, at risk due to the presence of organized crime and facing danger and abuse by the same men who pay for it.
Labeling women "workers" is supposed to give them dignity but really just protects violent men & victim blamers. Stupidly the pro prostitution movement won't leave history alone but tries to incorporate every form of money for sexual access situation ever no matter how insulting.
