> [Aquinas] notes that the state should allow fornication and prostitution to exist for the sake of the common good. Relying on the well-known passage from Augustine’s De ordine, Aquinas advocates tolerance of prostitution by noting: “Accordingly in human government also, those who are in authority rightly tolerate certain evils, lest certain goods be lost, or certain evils be incurred: thus Augustine says [De ordine 2.4]: ‘If you do away with harlots, the world will be convulsed with lust.’” If these social practices were to be suppressed, the public reaction might be such as to threaten the peace of society.

I don't understand for example why some MGTOWs advocate for people to see "escorts". Like, keep the hard earned money. Don't feed the egos of such women or simp for them and feminism. Of course the activity is sinful and I oppose it for that reason. And I understand some here are anti-MGTOW, I think MGTOW has its good and bad - some of them are kind of like feminists, others are basically just recognizing relationships are a mess today and good luck navigating many of the pitfalls involved in trying to have a decent relationship.
