Prostitution and marriage 嫖娼与婚姻
"as Chinese sociologist Li Yinhe points out, prostitution is essentially no different from marriage because both are a result of moral compromise between romantic intimacy and materialistic concerns. Li asserts that the only difference between the two is that prostitutes sell their bodies to numerous customers at different times as wage-workers, whereas wives sell their bodies to one person all the time as slaves. The two institutions share the same nature, that is, the sale of the women’s sexuality to men for financial mobility and security"

Ok,but what do u think about rich women are married to poor men?
Good point. I think it doesn't happen often, especially in China. We should ask to prof. Li Yinhe... :)

but what is ur opinion of view?
Well, let's say Li Yinhe's statement is a little bit radical, but she is a radical scholar, too. First of all, she's talking about marriage and women's condition in post-Mao China. For what I studied and for my understanding, my opinion is that nowadays many Chinese women (especially from countryside and especially with regards to women migrants) have to make this kind of choice: sell their body to several men or just to one, but for the rest of their life. That is "for financial mobility and security" and not for glory, of course, as the author points out.
