It is an acceptance for treatment of women as economic objects which can be abused for pay. Even an actual acceptance of prostitution itself isn't an acceptance of abuse, or treating of woman as any sort of objects. Its acceptance that they can decide how to treat themselves. Support for legalization isn't even an acceptance of prostitution. Its acceptance of freedom of people to choose what they will do, when they aren't committing a crime (in the sense of using force or fraud against another, not in the sense of violating some section of legal code). Not that everyone would instantly begin treating women as prostitutes but many would see it that way. Asserted without evidence or solid argument. I flatly disagree that legalization would cause most people to think of all women (or all people, its not just women that are involved in prostitution) as prostitutes. Even a general societal acceptance of prostitution, wouldn't do that (although it would likely move things slightly in that direction), but legalization doesn't include, imply, or require, a societal acceptance that prostitution is a good thing, only an acceptance that freedom is a good thing.
