And let me tell you, the bar was set very low already.

Let me start by saying that I generally have a very libertarian (small L) view when it comes to Pornography, Prostitution, Strippers, etc. Though I wouldn’t want a brothel in my neighborhood, for the most part, what goes on between consenting adults is their business. That doesn’t mean I don’t judge, it’s just that I don’t think these types of things should necessarily be outlawed.

I’ve also always had an odd opinion about strip clubs. I actually have more respect for a strip club than I would for say, a night club or dance club, because at least at the strip club we’re just calling it what it is. There’s no pretense or pretending. Everyone knows what’s going on.

However, the prostitute in question here seems to have convinced herself that she’s not a whore, she’s just conducting a “social experiment.” Uh huh.

She wrote an essay, entitled “Why I’m selling my Virginity,” where she attempts to explain her side of the story. I’m sure you’ll be surprised that she got a degree in “Women’s Studies.”

Some choice tidbits:

At the university level, I was given permission to think differently and form a moral code of my own design. College opened my eyes.

Deflowering is historically oppressive—early European marriages began with a dowry, in which a father would sell his virginal daughter to the man whose family could offer the most agricultural wealth. Dads were basically their daughters’ pimps.

…idealized virginity is just a tool to keep women in their place.

For me, valuing virginity as sacred is simply not a concept I could embrace. But valuing virginity monetarily—now that’s a concept I could definitely get behind.

I’m not a whore – I am just fighting against the social constructs that are designed to keep women down. So I’ll get back at them by selling my Virginity on the Internet using a fake name.

If you want to be a whore, be a whore. But don’t pretend it’s anything more than that. It’s not a victory for women everywhere, it’s just another shameful example of the warped thinking that exists on college campuses.
