Men's Group

Once you have the concept of property, it naturally extends itself to people and things people do, and people themselves become property, and symbols of property, and things one has a right to exploit. Personal servants, especially sexual servants, are the ultimate status symbol. Take a look at the TV.

I'm not saying it's right, by any means, but if you are into property, capitalism, and the profit motive, how can you object to people selling such a great product as sex? How many times have you been told "You have to get out there and market yourself?"

But your other point, that we are socialized to see women as marketing themselves as a product for men to consume, that is gender stereotyping, but that too goes back to primogeniture and property and class distinctions.

In other words, gender stereotypes serve economic class distinctions, just as other class stereotypes do.
