If this needs to be moved or worded differently I'm happy to edit but I'll get right to the point.
I think prostitution should be legal. What two consenting adults do in exchange for money is none of my business. Plus, the prostitute will be able to seek help from law enforcement if things go awry and be able to speak truthfully with their doctor without fear of legal reprecussions.

I really dislike the attitude that owning something gives you the prerogative to destroy that thing. I'm particularly talking about a case where you own something that other people would appreciate having, and you destroy it for the entertainment value of doing so. I understand that wastefulness comes as its own cost, but I feel that even inanimate objects deserve a certain amount of reverence due to the effort people put forth to create them.

Populate it with homeless people. Then I'd be okay with it. :)

That's an interesting point and for the most part I agree. However, if, say the state was to outlaw the practice of persons destroying their own property, I would fight for their right to destroy their own property regardless of their reasons for doing so, because I believe in property rights. Well, I'm not saying this is what you're advocating, but if it is then I don't think it'll end well and the costs will outweigh the benefits. Destroying stuff that I own is not my style and I'd sooner give something I don't want anymore to a charity shop. However, at the same time I don't want the right to destroy my property for whatever reason taken away from me. I want to be free to make my own choices out of will and principle not out of obligation and fear.
To be fair, rights go both ways. Just because someone has the right to destroy their own property that doesn't mean they can't be called out doing so. Or to put it bluntly: if they're going to a dick, they should be prepared to accept that doing so comes with real social consequences.

Women should serve compulsory military service like men. For some countries.

Re: Confess your unpopular opinion.
Women and men will never be "equal". It's just science.
Also, it's right to give equality of opportunity NOT equality of outcome.

I don't believe in a right to destroy one's own property. Destroying property is probably only one example of a greater principle. Another example would be holding onto something and never using it. I don't think ownership is a blank check. Ownership should be seen as a responsibility as well.
It's not something would be instilled through criminalization. It would probably be just something to include in the current school indoctrination.

I don't think women belong in the military at all. Men are too eager to white knight or compete for woman, and the costs outweigh the benefit. It's important to remember than a woman can get pregnant and use that to exempt them from service, only to later get an abortion when they're off the hook. I can understand the sentiment of wanting to give women the equality they demand, but it never works out in practice.
I do think compulsory server is a good idea, though. A compulsory female service should focus on teaching women skills that would actually be useful to them, such as first aid, financial planning, etc. and have them do community service.

Re: Confess your unpopular opinion.
I don't think jokes like "looking for a man to divorce and take his house" are funny at all. In fact I think women going into relationships with that mindset, even as a joke, deserve plenty of negative karma.
Applies to men who only want a relationship to knock a girl up and nope out, too. Those kinds of jokes are abhorrent.
