A Lesson In Double Standards: Model sells her virginity for $2.9 Million

in philosophy •  7 years ago 

You know, I have to admit, when I first read your headline I immediately thought "What? that's DISGUSTING."
Reading your article made me reconsider. Well, my opinion on it remains the same --thats disgusting, and I would never do it myself-- but it is definitely a double standard. I don't have the right to judge this. It has nothing to do with me.
Arranges marriages, in my opinion, are much worse than what this young woman is doing, and you illustrated that by saying virginity in arranged marriages is for the benefit of the other party-not the woman. In this situation, it's the benefit of this woman, which means it shouldn't be nearly as bad.
This girl is making 2.9 million. What did the brides in those arranged marriages make? Maybe a better house, if that.

Yep, it is totally okay to think CHOICES other people make are bad choices. Yet it is still their right to do as long as it is a choice about their own body and time. The problem is laws and cultures often allow OTHER people to dictate what is to be done with other people's bodies and time. That is a bad thing.

People need to be allowed to make choices. There will be consequences. There will hopefully be advantages as well. Yet, that is for them to choose and to experience.

Yes. They can learn from their choices--and take care of themselves. This lady is a grown woman. She can do this as fine as the rest of us.
If her father was making this choice for her and taking the money from her, though, that would make this completely unacceptable in my opinion. Thankfully, that doesn't seem to be what's going on.

If she is SMART with the money she earns in this one encounter she could be set for life.

Certainly. And if she decides to spend it on things, hopefully she will be able to use this (even if possibly negative) exposure to her advantage and get an even bigger modeling career launched so she also has a consistent income.

Hell if she bought 2.0 million in bitcoin she could live quite well on just it's profits. Still have 0.9 million for other things.

Man yeah she'd be living the life, haha.
