Our Crumbling Civilization: Masters Of Virginity
W
hat’s up with those Dylan girls, anyway? On the plus side, we can say that they are debt-adverse, neither wanting to accrue mountains of college loans in their pursuit of higher education. On the negative, they’re not opposed to a nookie-financed education.
First Avia Dylan paid her way through college by being a prostitute. She says it took just three weeks of hooking to make all the tuition and book money she needed. I don’t see the numbers adding up myself … unless she was hooking full-time with Elliot Spitzer.
Now sis Natalie is in the news, as she auctions off her virginity to pay for her Masters degree - in women’s studies, yet. How clever. She’ll be able to finance her degree while researching what inevitably will become the topic of her thesis: Virginity, Value and Values in the Post-Bush Era, or some such thing.
“I know that a lot of people will condemn me for this because it’s so taboo but I really don’t have a problem with that.
“My study is completely authentic in that I truly am auctioning my virginity but I am not being sold into this. I’m not being taken advantage of in any way.
“I think me and the person I do it with will both profit greatly from the deal.”
Well, at least one of them well. According to the news account, bids for Natalie’s flower are now in the $3.2 million range.
“It’s shocking that men will pay so much for someone’s virginity, which isn’t even prized so highly anymore.”
It’s a good thing Ms. Dylan is in a throw-away academic program like women’s studies instead of something useful like economics. She doesn’t appear to understand that it is precisely because virginity supposedly isn’t prized so highly that hers is so valuable. In a world where girls are tossing away their virginity with gay abandon, the value of an intact hymen must necessarily soar.
And that’s why Ms. Dylan makes her way into an “Our Crumbling Civilization” post. On her own, she’d at best get an “our tawdry, sad civilization” recognition. But the inherent value of virginity has always been that it was held onto as an act of love. Selling it as a commodity should deprive it of its value, making it little more than the infliction of pain for money. That so many men value so highly the deflowering a complete stranger who did not cherish her virginity for them is a sign that sexuality has become very sick in our crumbling civilization.
hat-tip: Memeorandum
Take the $3.3 billion grant program to upgrade the nation’s electricity network. Please. When it was announced in April by Joe “Oh, It’s Just A Little Lie” Biden, he had a pretty simple - if grammatically challenged - explanation for the grant’s intent: “This is jobs - jobs.”
