    @ jared2:

    A woman (or man) can sell their bodies if they want, but time goes fast and why pass up any chance of a real loving relationship and family? For designer shoes? Not worth it.

    Well to you it might not be worth it, and to me it might not be worth it, but we cannot overlook the fact that to many people in our commodified culture it is most definitely worth it. There are plenty of women who would rather have Louboutin shoes and boots than true love and childen.

    Also, people -- an women in particular -- have long been commodified. Open any fashion magazine. Open any "girlie" magazine.
