I hate literally everything about this. First and foremost, college should be FREE. Virtually every other developed country has low-or-no cost higher education, yet we don't. The pressure for women to hook up with older men simply to afford an education should not exist, period. This is disgusting, and any civilized person should feel the same.
Second, this disadvantages younger men who are also trying to afford college (like myself), who have no such option. Don't get me wrong: I'm outraged that women feel financially coerced into entering relationships with people they would otherwise have nothing to do with, but I am equally incensed that men lack any such opportunity. One solution to this is to level the playing field such that nobody is pressured to engage in such (frankly repugnant) behavior, and making tuition affordable is certainly one way to accomplish that.
Third, what does this say about the OBSCENE levels of wealth inequality this country is currently experiencing? That a lucky few (emphasis on "LUCKY," this is not a meritocracy) can now gratify themselves by treating women as a commodity?!! Words honestly fail me to articulate just how despicable this truly is.
Fourth (and last), I want to appeal to the old-school traditionalist conservative types: is this the epitome of "family values" you prize so highly? Some rich dudes who are either divorced or never married buying women for their own gratification? Are women that disposable, that they are no longer treated as persons that one must connect with and entertain and respect, but merely commodities to be bought and sold? If this isn't the erosion of nuclear family, I don't know what is.
I'll conclude with this: I believe prostitution should be legal, but under no circumstances should women feel pressured into the industry. The alternatives should be sufficiently abundant such that only the women who enjoy that line of work are in fact doing it. No exceptions. I like to think that I'm a fairly tolerant and open-minded person, but I have never been more disgusted by any topic related to sexuality as I am by this one. Consent cannot be commodified. End of story.
