Onion goes too far!

I normally love the Onion too, but this is wrong.

clipped from jezebel.com I love The Onion, but this isn't funny. I have maybe the darkest sense of humor on earth, but I still felt kind of gross after reading this one. Am I missing something, or is this a rare Onion miss?

Second, she says, "I want to see a world where women have enough self-esteem to stand up for themselves against exploitation and abuse." Is sex work not exploitative? Does decriminalization prevent abuse? Does legalizing what some argue is the objectification of women lead to less exploitation and abuse of women in society? Those are difficult arguments to make.
