It would make sense to be a feminist and deny women such 'right' if you genuinely believed that in every case that women are sex workers men are always oppressing them. Because you'd be denying women even more rights (and freedom) by allowing them to be oppressed that way.
But there's a such thing as being right about these things, it's not like it's all fair game on who gets to define what being pro rights and who isn't. Some opinions actually are pro rights and some aren't. Not all opinions are equal on this matter. ( “All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others.” ― Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt) and 'feminists' who think that men are always and by definition oppressing women if women are being sex workers are simply deluded.
They might think they're being pro-women's rights by pushing their delusion that female sex workers are necessarily always exploited and oppressed but the fact they think they're being pro-women's rights doesn't mean they actually are if they are in fact denying women rights and freedom for no good reason.
Right, and this is the problem the feminist movement faces in a nutshell. There's a massive split on this one issue.
I agree with the New Age feminists on it, I'm fully in support of sex positivism. Sex workers should be legal and protected.
