Why does a woman's sexuality pay more than, say, her master's degree?
I'm what you might call an attractive girl (objectively speaking), and I am working on a graduate degree.
Yet why is it that if I were to become a stripper, I would earn (generally) more in the twenty years I would work than if I were to become a biology professor working the same hours?
Why does my--or any at-least-decent-looking woman's--flesh conjure a heftier income than her capabilities?
I understand why a woman's body is valued so much, but why more so than intangible, presumably more valuable things?
It's not a question of the price level, but rather why people PAY so much, I suppose

Dee, I truly admire this question. It speaks volumes of truth.
The flesh is strong and the spirit is weak.
No matter how much society changes. No matter how many female presidents we may have in the future. No matter how many college degrees a woman may posses. She first and foremost will be desired by men for her beauty. That is how Man is wired. It just is...............
What I don't understand is why women refuse to accept the nature of man. It's as if women hate being women. I truly believe if women could, they would like to recreate man in their image. Give men qualities they would like to see in men.
Conversely men are more accepting of female ways. We don't understand women, but that does not interfere with our ability to just accept women. Many a Man has said to himself "that's just women". And consider the matter finished in his own mind.
Women will go on and on about how they don't understand men. But what they are really saying is why aren't men more like women. Why doesn't my man think more like me?
Why,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,because he is a man,,,,,,,,,,not a woman.
Why do so many women think these ways today. Because for the last 50 years, feminism has indoctrinated young women to believe that there are no differences between men and women and that any differences that do exist are the result of socialization and institutions. Pure foolishness of course.
To answer your question more specifically. Because the male sex drive is beyond female understanding. I don't expect you to understand this. But I do hope you will just accept it in time if not already.

Society increases the appeal of sex and physical beauty more and more as time passes. Sex sells. Human beings at nature are sexual creatures who have sex not only for procreation of our species but also for pleasure and a connection. Now a days in our society (the global society basically) sex without commitment and love is the dominant way of doing it in that regard. You know?
However, I'd rather have a wife with a degree and a purpose than a stripper wife (Though I'm not judging.)
I also appreciate the comment of the individual who said why does a corrupt lazy business man make more than someone who's interested in helping the children and community? True vision is priceless but misunderstanding people put a small price on that which is truly valuable. Example being what the fine human being who I agree with threw on the table. Social workers who wish to help.

Good question. Why does a bank robber make more hard cash in a month than a lawyer? Why does a drug King Pin make more dough in a year than the President of any nation on earth? Do you see what I’m getting at? Might does not make right. What seems to be desirable now may turn into the gall of bitterness when that fruit comes to maturity. Go and ask a rapist murderer on death row if he regrets not going about the right path of first wooing and then courting a woman than acting like a animal and ending up having to be put down like a wild beast. I hope you understand what I am trying to convey and never go into that line of business.

I guess porn stars and hookers get more work than educated people. I just learned this by reading your question. If it makes you feel any better the women into porn and those sort of things make more money than both men and women in carrers. And definatly the women in porn and prostitution make more than men in prostitution. ONLY if what you said was true.
Just me. Or in the case of prostitution it's "as long as someone is selling someone will buy" It's not like everything else. Other than people who are forced into prostitution and working as a stripper it's the distributers fault just like bootleg dvds.

Over that period of time, sure.
But over the course of her life, no way. That master's degree will continue paying potentially well into her 80s or longer depending on medical technology.
It is unlikely you'll be stripping beyond your late 30s.
There are also a number of risks associated with stripping that are not associated with education. It is quite possible to strip without getting raped, doing drugs, becoming a prostitute or acquiring sexually transmitted diseases - yet all of these things are far more likely (though it remains to be seen whether this is due to the life style or due to attributes of women who are able to strip vs. women are are not able to strip). There is also a social cost which for some is negligible, and others is horrendous. But yes, with risk, you get benefits.
If you're looking for an A equals B answer, I don't think you're going to find one here. It's complicated.

It's the oldest profession and is always in high demand that plays off of the isecurities of others who are desperate enough to want it.
Look at all the men alone in this section who claim they can't get sex because they're too nice. Stripping establishments, escorts and hookers will charge a high price because men that are so desperate for a sexual experience will pay ANY price.

why does a wall street banker who literally just moves money around and gives often bad financial advice- get paid more than a social worker who protects children in bad situations?
The issue is not necessarily about the value of woman's sexuality- but just the ****** up way that capitalism distributes rewards.

Some men act stupid about sex. Many men over value sex in the world and will spend that will spend money better spent in something that will improve their lives instead of a quick fix. As long as theirs an idiot to pay for it some women will sell it. Basic business. Supply and demand.
