I've actually read an article while going through Reuters about a girl auctioning her virginity on-line. You can find the article here. To paraphrase it, the girl is selling it to pay for schooling. Apparently, it's sparked some debate from people on line.
I had to think about it some. Would I really have a problem with someone pimping themselves out to pay for education? Mostly, I'd say no. Because, people have been pimping themselves out in some way or another for all of human civilization. I am torn though that there is some lower 20 something girl that feels that she has to do this.
What mostly made me mad was that all the comments of people trying to say how horrible this was, were from people who were actually in the high education (professors, aids, etc)!? What the hell people? Are people in higher education so out of touch that they realize that they are selling a service that over priced, and over valued? Now, granted I do have some biases. Namely, I'm SO dissillusioned with higher education, that it's not funny. It's my own personal opinion, that it's a racket. We're sold this idea, as early as elementary, that we must have a college degree and about how good college is. I can honestly say that college is worthless. You retain only about 30% of what you learn. You do have enough time to delve into skills that can help you out in a job role, but overall it's not worth the price one pays.
Then, I started to get into it. According to the article:
"The woman, who has earned a bachelor degree in women's studies and now wants to start a master's degree in marriage and family therapy, is hoping the bidding will hit $1 million."
Now, I don't know about you guys, but I've known some of the girls who went into Women's studies, and they were either A) Lesbians, B) Had more meat on them than an NFL linebacker, or C) One who hasn't had any hair product for 10 years. So, why would anyone want to buy this? The answer is simple, there are a bunch of wierdos out there. This makes me wonder, how much would I sell my virginity for? (Quiet from the peanut gallery, I know you people are snickering.) The only answer I could come up with is, at a minimum $250.
