Auctioning Virginity--Empowering?

A while ago I was watching Oprah and there was a woman who was deciding to auction off her virginity to the highest bidder to make some quick cash. This woman had just graduated college as a Women's Studies major and claimed that selling her virginity to the highest paying man was her own idea of empowerment and feminism. Would selling your virginity for hundreds of thousands of dollars make you feel empowered? Let me know your thoughts!

Well This is Disgusting...

Here's a link from CNN about a Brazilian man who has been accused of having children with two of his own daughters. What's worse is that he is defending himself by saying that the affairs, which started when the girls were 12 and 14, were consensual.
