This chapter dives into the dynamics of courtship and the historical link between human interactions, meat trading, and sexual favors. It explores the impact of these dynamics on modern womanhood and the complexities of choosing a partner. Additionally, the speaker shares a personal experience of being offered a job as an escort and their thought process in making a decision.
