Forgive me if I am wrong, but it seems to me a disproportionate number
of those complaining about the woman's behavior (and supporting
statements from Barbara and Ariel) are students, who presumably have
never had to consistently deal with the problem. 

Well, allow me to indulge in a gender switch in another famous saying:

"Everything is easy to the woman who doesn't have to do it herself."

please, please can't we cut out all of this sensationalism about "morality"
and "prostitution"? Can't we just admit that if someone has an ability to
better themselves, they should use it, considering that the only
objection to it is a purely theoretical political one (which in my book is no
objection at all)?
