Well, yes, we do have it better than they do, in certain ways. However - not to burst your bubble - I would like to point out that we are not quite as "liberated" as we would like to think we are. We are foolish for not seeing the hypocrisy, as obvious as it is.
There are tons of reasons I can point out, but here is one case:
Yes, the virgin who sells her virginity online for millions of dollars. This post is not about her, nor the Australian pervert who bought it. It IS about the American society that finds this interesting. It IS about the talk shows where people debate whether she really is a virgin or not.
My dear ladies, this is not much different than a dowry being paid to a family for a daughter's VIRGIN hand in marriage. The "community" still gossips about whether she really was a virgin or not. The only difference is in this case, the daughter gets the money and doesn't have to stay with the smelly old guy.
Most of us are still stuck in the 1700's, whether we would like to admit it or not. We fool ourselves into thinking that things have changed, but they have not changed as much as we think they have. Women still talk about other women who are more sexually liberated as whores, but yet men are valued for their conquests. What's new? What's old?
More on this subject later... I have plenty more to say.

I have to say I agree with alot of what you said. I don't agree with either the dowry situation or with selling virginity to the highest bidder but quite honestly it is her's to do with what she pleases. I guess my thoughts are more on her well being. For me something like the first time is some kind of treasured thing. I know not everyone is like me but I do find it hard to fathom selling it like a cake at a bake auction. I hope she is okay.
