RE: Jezebel Author blames College Costs for Sugarbaby epidemic
Like most of Jezebel's writers, this one builds an entire post under a false presumption: that women don't like doing this. Some women enjoy this kind of thing. One of my exes came from old money but used to wrestle men for bucks...because it turned her on.
What's depressing about it? Approximately everything, from the anecdote about "Rachel," the "sugar baby" who gets paid $200 to stiletto all over some dude's dick and once hung around with a cracked out businessman for 3 hours so he'd pay her $300.
In the above paragraph she doesn't realize that both men and women do things every day for money that anyone could consider degrading. Being filthy under and engine is degrading, if you think about it. So is looking up people's butts. IMO the women got into this because they wanted to.
Jezebel is like Catholic School, operating under a completely false idea of what women are and what they may or may not like. There are things I hate that I'm willing to concede others might like -- tattoos, piercings. What makes feminists repugnant is that they think their worldview should be everyone's.
On the plus side, some of the commenters think she's full of shit. The idea that women have no agency and are complete victims of "society" is getting old really fast. As for this article, if it wasn't college it would be something else.

RE: Jezebel Author blames College Costs for Sugarbaby epidemic
Men dont resort to this situation despite having the same high costs of college the same lack of job opportunities. One could easily conclude this is because men generally are better at handling money, saving/living frugally than women are.
Girls should be an ornament to the eye, not an ache in the ear.

RE: Jezebel Author blames College Costs for Sugarbaby epidemic
The female hindbrain is hardwired to trade sex for resources. Women will not accept responsibility for their own actions, however, and so the hamster goes to work to figure out how to blame men or something else.

RE: Jezebel Author blames College Costs for Sugarbaby epidemic
I can't believe jezebel would engage in slut shaming. If these strong educated women want to empower themselves by having sex for money, who are they to judge?

There are a few problems with this.
1) These authors are fat/ugly
2) They're overly sarcastic and prone to snark and annoying terms (i.e. using adult as a verb)
3) They'll mouth off feminist bullet points throughout the evening no matter what the topic of conversation is
4) They are a false rape accusation waiting to happen
5) It won't change her opinion, and only train the hamster to spin faster

RE: Jezebel Author blames College Costs for Sugarbaby epidemic
Jezebel should blame women and feminism for the rise in college costs leading to sugardaddy.
The price of education i.e. tuition is a function of supply and demand. Increase demand for college by women demanding to enter higher education (mostly to study nonsense) = higher prices.
And, as opposed to find a nice guy - treating him well - and inspiring him to work hard to help her with her studies, these women resort to the female default stance: HYPERGAMY.
find the richest guy they can find, offer up the vagina, and get resources.
they are their own worst enemy.

Not really. Your conclusion - that women and feminism is responsible for the rise in college costs - may hold water, but you're off on the mechanism.
College tuition is not a function of supply and demand as we think about it, as the regulation and externalities of government funding on differing levels have conspired to decouple tuition from market forces.
The increase in college tuition since the early 1980s has been almost wholly a function of bloating administration and unnecessary construction on campuses. Now, most of these administration jobs are horseshit makework positions staffed by women - which lends credence to your original conclusion - but it's really not so much a feminism problem as it is a teat-sucking problem. Feminism is just one teat-sucker.
If we were to truly describe tuition in a supply-demand curve setting, we'd view the supply curve as being an almost perfectly inelastic ratchet. Even at minor changes in demand, prices sharply rise, but rarely if ever fall. You're identifying the demand side as the dominant driver of price, when the supply is really the crucial factor.
Think about it critically for a second. How much does it actually cost to teach another 1000 girls some dumb gender studies shit? All you need is a classroom (already part of your fixed physical plant cost, and generally NOT part of the increased construction), a lecturer (anywhere from $30K to 250K per year), and some overpriced books (which the girls buy themselves anyway).

RE: Jezebel Author blames College Costs for Sugarbaby epidemic
I've been debating about how much I should give away here, but it's late and I can't sleep so here goes. Beyond the ex g/f that I mentioned earlier, I know at least three women who have done the sex-for-money thing.
What this writer doesn't seem to understand is that having sex for money is a very grey area for a lot of women. It's not like when you make a career change: they don't give you the corner office and say "Stop filing and start fucking!" It's not that cut and dried.
Woman #1 was messing around with a female politician's husband. He had little time to wine and dine her and came out and said "Can I just give you money for quickies?" She said "sure."
Woman #2 was a fledgling writer who earned next to no money who ended up "dating" a much older man when she was 22. He couldn't stand to be around her friends and vice-versa, so it morphed into a sugar daddy thing, which suited them better.
Woman #3 was a swinger and met some businessman type at Club Hedonism who basically came out and said "I can't be bothered to come to where you live to screw you, but I'll send you plane tix and cash to come to me when I want."
While this might sound tawdry, in every case the woman expressed to me this is what they both wanted and they figured it was cheaper and more honest that the dinner-date-jewelry bullshit. Funniest of all, when I asked if I could get it for the same price #1 and #3 were like "Shit, I'd give you a major discount -- you're much cuter!" And as a sidenote I'll add, all these arrangements seemed to end well, with no accusations, lawsuits, etc.
So, I ask the board: is this really bad, or are these men and women stripping away the bullshit facade of modern "dating" and just being honest about what two people want? It makes dating more an arrangement and less about power, sexual dynamics, bargaining and all the other things that feminists obsess about to get the upper hand, which seems to be their goal. Also, this is not Beta chumps doing this, but time-pressed Alphas, which is probably what really pisses off Jezebel.

No one on this board is going to say that this is wrong. Heck, there is a huge thread about the website http://www.seekingarrangement.com and how to get results with it.(don't give them your real name, treat the dates as if you met them from okcupid and don't use your real house/apartment. Don't pay them like they were whores but offer to share your wealth with them by going on high end dates that they wouldn't be able to afford otherwise)

"Wah. I got a shitty, useless degree, that has no relevance in the real world, and now I have a huge debt to pay off and I can't get a job to pay for it. Wah. It wasn't my fault I made such bad decisions! I need compensation!"
