Abstinence from low-wage jobs a good idea? Absolutely!
Mary Anne — (archived)

Sex is the lowest-wage job a woman can have, since we get no quantifiable return on it, and it often winds up costing us something, sometimes for precious little benefit (depending on the man's skill and patience), while men can walk.

Prostitutes, however, have discovered how to make it pay, and it even qualifies as a profoundly capitalist approach: to hell with sacred obligation, we've got a commodity to exploit. I say, let's charge a going rate per act, organize, and eliminate the pimps.

It can be quantified in marriage contracts: men can get it in a lump sum at the front end, or space it out, and once they're done, they're done. Any future acts would be settled on a (you'll excuse the expression) per-piece schedule. We would issue receipts. In the event of divorce, any unpaid balance can be adjusted for in the property settlement.

Men would pay anything, or resort to rape, and then we can shoot 'em.
