It's talks about women as if they are all prostitutes, and men, as if they are all looking to get prostitutes.

It looks at relationships only with capitalistic thinking, and ignores any other explanations. For example, "I think that woman is cute. I wonder how much I have to pay to get to talk to her?" versus actually getting to know someone.

It's a complete tripe.

x2!
