Of course not I am myself, I can use my body for money gain, but I am not selling my body because at the end of the day I walk away as myself at least legally in this country. My point of distinction between owned property in a public business and a persons body is in specific reference to why a prostitute can rightfully refuse service to another person as opposed to a piece of property as a part of a public which can be legally owned, sold or traded.
If you are unable to see the distinctintion between a business open to the public and something that is private then just say so and lets move on.
I can see the point you are trying to make, but I can offer an argument against it.
Something that is "open" to the public ? That's relevant to ownership how? Just because a statutory law was passed, basically saying that now the government can dictate what a person does with their property doesn't change the meaning of the word ownership does it? If another entity can make decisions about your property without your permission, haven't your rights of ownership been taken or reduced?
I think the point is WHO owns that something? The public or a private individual? If a private individual owns the business, what business does anybody else have telling them what they will or will not do with it? Implicit in the word "ownership" , is the ability to make decisions about the thing owned without any outside unwanted influence.
My point is if a person owns something and another abridges their right to make decisions about the property in question, the abridgement becomes a kind of theft. It reduces the ability of the owner to use the property in ways the owner prefers to.
Here's where you miss my point - It is wrong to use your property to initiate aggression against another. It is NEUTRAL to make decisions about your property that exclude others from using it. that right is inherent and an integral part of "ownership".
When a person wants to disassociate from anybody, forcing them to associate IS an ACT OF INITIATING AGGRESSION.
You are differentiating property rights based on outcomes you perceive as good. Statutory laws that force people to associate under threat of harm are the root of alot of problems.
