This isn’t something that is entirely new; there’s a past sort of system called ‘placage’ and in it, the ‘placee’ was the one who acquired a ‘protector’ and the ‘protector’ paid for everything. Thing is, that it lasted only so long as the ‘protector’ wanted it to and I wonder if these young women have any idea just what they’re doing to themselves in the long term.

Their male peers aren’t stupid and I don’t know how many young men are going to want someone who did this to themselves and how much baggage they’re creating for themselves. Any employer can look this up and find out and this could be used as potential blackmail material. I wonder how young men feel knowing about this, knowing that a hue percentage of their potential future wives and mothers of their children are doing this to themselves.

This is disgraceful since it’s not like university or college is so vital to the success of a young woman. Learning a real trade and skill is certainly something that can be done and I don’t think university is all that worth it if you decide you ‘have’ to degrade yourself like that to pay for tuition.

I once taught welfare moms how to look for work at the unemployment office as part of the welfare-to-work program. In many cases we would pay for technical/vocational school, community college or university. I tried to steer the smarter ones toward nursing home administrator, insurance or similar degrees and the perhaps not-so-bright towards CNA or maybe secretarial.

I don’t know that the young men of today think of women in terms like “future wife” or “future mother” rather than as an opportunity for immediate sexual gratification.

As such, they may not care and won’t matter to them. Also, acquiring a college educated wife with a good job and no student loans of her own to repay means she can help you pay yours off faster.

They may be quite pragmatic about it.
