Another quote from the book mentioned above:
Giovanni Boccaccio wrote:
While farmers generally allow one rooster for ten hens, ten men are scarcely sufficient for one woman.
Which is an excellent point. A woman could easily cause ten men to ejaculate during the course of a workday. For a man to cause ten women to experience orgasm during the day, that would be quite a feat. Ron Jeremy might be up for it, but he is exceptional.
Making prostitution illegal does indeed seem to be a key Patriarchal priority for keeping women dependent, subjugated, and under the control of men. Patriarchal men do not want to be put to shame by being reminded of how poorly their sexual prowess compares to the female. And, they feel threatened by the amount of money that a woman could make on her own in the profession. The women would become wealthier than men, and be able to support themselves independently, which would be wholly unacceptable for the Patriarchs.

....The West's cultural self-contradiction is that it espouses freedom and democracy, but has moral values rooted in spiritual terrorism and dictatorship. For centuries, authorities have insisted that for the most natural act of life to be "decent", it should only happen within marriage (initiated by the Bible)...
1 Corinthians 7 wrote:
Because there is so much immorality, every man should have his own wife, and every woman should have her own husband.
1 Corinthians 11 wrote:
I want you to understand that Christ is supreme over every man, the husband is supreme over his wife, and God is supreme over Christ. So a man who prays or proclaims God's message in public worship with his head covered disgraces Christ. And any woman who prays or proclaims God's message in public worship with nothing on her head disgraces her husband; there is no difference between her and a woman whose head has been shaved. If the woman does not cover her head, she might as well cut her hair. And since it is a shameful thing for a woman to shave her head or cut her hair, she should cover her head. A man has no need to cover his head, because he reflects the image and glory of God. But woman reflects the glory of man; for man was not created from woman, but woman from man. Nor was man created for woman's sake, but woman was created for man's sake. On account of the angels, then, a woman should have a covering over her head to show that she is under her husband's authority.
