I feel like I'm failing to get the point. The Constitution and it's application is flawed, but essential to establishing a society with rights and protection. Prostitution is an industry that monetizes an essential part of the human experience for those who can't access it in their private life, or who wish to broaden their experience. Sex work has a lot of problems and dangers, but it could be made safer and more beneficial, even if I'll never really like it. so I guess neither thing has a binary of good or bad? Am I just saying stuff now?

Do you think it is coincidence that those words with opposite prefixes have opposite meaningfulness?

I think it’s simpler than that, OP is pointing out the structure of the word and how it’s expected that pro “should” = good, while in this case it doesn’t necessarily.

In the case of these two words I dont think those are prefixes. Unless I'm just ignorant of the word stitution.
