College girls selling themselves as prostitutes

    Who says they are reclaiming the word. It will always mean the same thing. It refers to women who sleep around for free. I just don't see how sleeping around for free is a negative thing.

    There has been a move to reclaim the word slut, as well as words like whore and slapper. You'll even hear girls call each other these names in greeting. They are insults. Why would anyone want to be referred to as an insulting word? The girls are promiscuous. That is the non-insulting term. Slut is not exactly a compliment--it carries an inherent negative judgement.

    It’s sad to think they feel they have no choice but to sell themselves like lumps of meat to men.
    Its even sadder to think that anyone believes the story is true.

    I think that prostitutes just say that they're doing it for college because it makes it sound like it's a more honourable way of being a whore.

    Whats dishonourable about it ?

    Its not as if theyre into banking, property development or similar carry on ?

    It's late and I'm tired, so I'll just give you a brief explanation as to why I believe that arts degrees are pointless.

    They don't actually qualify people for anything other than teaching other people arts degrees.
    They are not worthy of government grants because they generally lead to nothing more than recipients being able to put "B.A." on their C.V.

    The money should be focussed on people going for medical and practical degrees.

    Goodnight.

    This is one of the most stupid and ignorant things I've ever read. Arts degrees don't qualify you for anything? Then why are there scores and scores of employers insisting that you must have a degree, any degree, to apply for their positions? One of my best friends studied Spanish, he's now working for an investment bank in Canary Wharf, earning £46,000 at the age of 25. My sister studied an Arts subject, she's now working for a multinational in London. I'm in the process of applying for a job as a translator for one of the EU institutions for which I need....you guessed it, a degree. Preferably a degree in languages - an Arts subject. I don't regret doing an Arts degree at all. I know plenty of people who scoffed at it and insisted that their degree in physiotherapy or radiography was going to be much more useful, only to find themselves unemployable because there were too many graduates in their chosen field and they were only qualified to do one specific thing.

    It really is ridiculously arrogant for someone who never went to university to decide which degrees are useful and which aren't. You haven't a clue. Perhaps if you had actually done a degree, you'd realise how much work goes into doing well and how much you learn if you take it seriously.

    So you don't think any young women have ever turned to prostitution to make ends meet? You think they do for the enjoyment?

    I recently read an article in Closer about girls lapdancing their way through college so I have no trouble believing some girls make take it further.

    Don't be so naive.

    I don't think they do it to make ends meet. Here's an article about Cambridge students doing it because it pays better than working in Morrisons. Though it is about escorts and not prostitutes.

    Well if you read it in Closer it must be true. If you seriously believe that Irish college students are turning to prostitution to pay their way you're badly out of touch with reality. It reminds me of one genius who was warbling on about young Irish women going to work in German brothels, presumably based on his analysis of the economic crisis and whatever theory of how war should work he gleaned from the pages of Hustler.

    Bollocks I say.

    One ex-prostitute added: “Clients did like the fact that I was a Cambridge student and so did the agency.



    “They liked having a classier girl there – it was good for business

    what defines a slut?

    In my experience the best definition of the word is "Any girl who has/enjoys sex more than a given self-righteous overly-opinionated man deems appropriate for her when it is in fact none of his business".

    Another workable definition would be "Any girl who shows as much interest in having sex as guys do, because girls are not meant to enjoy/have it as much as guys in this 'guys are studs, girls are sluts' world".

    In essence, the word has no workable definition. It is just a word with which men make themselves feel better by deriding women for being as sexually liberated and active as they themselves wish, but fail, to be.

    Words are not insults in and of themselves. How you use them is what makes them insults. People use derogatory terms to describe each other in friendships all the time. The reasons for this are many, and likely differ from group to group and from friends to friends as to why they feel comfortable engaging in it.

    Dave Allen did a great sketch on this and is worth watching, especially for the text which explains WHY Allen did the sketch (it was a two finger salute at viewers who complained he cursed in one show).

    Really, I'd argue that women are the ones who use "slut" as a derogatory term for other women sleeping around. Primarily because the more women have sex for free the harder it is to order your boyfriend to clean up etc.

    Not ALL black people do. In fact, I'd say it's actually a minority of black people who do. Words are not insults in and of themselves but years of meaning and intention imbue them with a value independent of whether insult is meant.

    So, for example, a bitch may just mean a female dog, but I'm sure as shit not calling my mother one. :pac:

    Like it or not, a small percentage will become escorts/prostitutes. It DOES happen, whether you believe it or not. Irish girls have been documented to have worked/be working in brothels abroad too. It may be a very small amount, but it does happen.

    If (as is documented fact), English students become prostitutes, why would it be crazy to imagine that a small amount of Irish girls would. Particularly those having difficulty with fees (postgrads, people not eligible for free fees etc).

    Nor am I aware of having claimed they ALL do. I meant it as a generalised statement about the ones that do. The point is that "in groups" and friends and the like often use the most horribly derogatory terms of affection.

    Sorry, I know you didn't mean all--I probably should have just italicised it for the emphasis.

    But you do agree that the terms are still derogatory, even in a friendly context?

    Its what the female of most species have been doing since the dawn of time. They attach themselves to the strongest of the male species to secure the future of themselves and their young. In the case of humans the strongest is usually the richest. The more cash the more bitches. Its hardly a new phenomena. These girls are just looking out for their futures.

    And then there are the girls who create their own future
