Of course, not the way that it exists illegally in the United States. But the legality of prostitution and whether or not other feminists agree with me on it is not the issue here.

That is a very interesting one. The feminist movement in America use to be radically opposed to prostitution because it degrades women and it feeds into the view that women are objects to be had, but the more modern feminist movement has taken the complete opposite position for rights to their bodies. It's just all very interesting to me.
