"Will fuck for an education."
I guess this is capitalistic. But it also reinforces the patriarchal idea that women should just get what they want through sexual relationships with men.
Nice.
But remember, this isn't about ethics. It's about education and "self-empowerment."
Her logic about empowerment doesn't work. Doing anything just to "better oneself" isn't automatically empowering. But I guess wanton capitalists would have a different idea about empowerment than I do.
