Which do we value more?

I just read this op-ed piece in the LEO, by a former stripper who now teaches creative writing and is working on a PhD. In the face of her damning final paragraph, I have to ask:

Which, as a culture, do we value more: a bright, creative woman who teaches young adults to express themselves in writing, or a sexually appealing woman willing to dance seductively? If where our treasures are truly indicates the location of our hearts, then I don't think I'm going to like the answer.

There are so many that we can add to the list: nurses, social workers, child care workers...
