Women can call more of the shots in places where it is legal like Nevada or other countries. Not saying it's a perfect system but the alterntive so far has been a trade that is controlled by criminals, bad customers, and law enforcement.

Not sure why you assume this would be the case and it also isn’t really all that true [0], nor has it been true historically in societies with legal prostitution nor is it true in other industries with many women frontline workers (like the makeup industry, obviously not that similar but I think is somewhat representative).

That’s not often true in sex work relying on a venue, and certainly not nevada, and the few women run organizations have the same power dynamics and labor problems as all the others

Should really include sex workers in these discussions

All this conjecture that its exclusively a male run coercive trait exacerbating anything
