Have you ever been hitting on a chick, getting to know each other, feeling each other out, and all of a sudden things go south real fucking quick? This happens every time I talk to a women about feminism. The conversation starts swimmingly, there is bantering going back and forth, usually both of you are agreeing with one another. Sooner than later she utters the statement: "It's my body, and I can do with it whatever I want." You agree, because she's right, and a person should have control over their own body. Then you go a step further. You bring up prostitution. They, because of their last statement have to tell you that it is, once again, a women's body and they can do whatever the fuck they want to do with it. It's their right to sell their body for money if they so choose. And you agree, because once again she's right. You probably even utter the nominal phrase in this situation "Its the oldest profession in the world" which somehow adds credence to the argument.Then you tell them that you've slept with hookers before.
All of a sudden, magically, like a fucking light switch, they don't want to sleep with you. Somebody should put this in the dictionary as either "Ironic" or "Fucking Hypocrite".
Why is it that women don't want to be identified by sexuality, but rather by their abilities in life, are clearly fucking liars? More and more women are getting breast implants, tummy tucks, collagen injections, they wear high heels, low cut blouses, and short skirts in the workplace? Why is that? They want to call themselves go getter's, and hard working, and "one of the guys" but trapse around the fucking office with three buttons undone on their fucking shirts while their sweater puppies are flying all over the place?
They want to be defined by their abilities, but still choose to use their sexuality as their biggest weapon? Why is that Women?
Is it because you want us to look at your fucking tits?
Why is it that Women around the world unite to get the same pay for the same work, yet somehow still haven't achieved this goal? This is just one assholes opinion, but if I was the HR director and was hiring an employee wouldn't I hire the cheaper one? If there were two applicants, both were identical in qualifications, but one made less money.. Wouldn't I hire that person? If women were actually getting paid less for the same equal work, wouldn't companies hire nothing but women? I haven't figured that one out yet.
Please womyn. Enlighten me.

God you really are all over the place with this thing aren't you?
I have no comment on the plastic surgery/slutty dress thing. I agree with you on both those points, especially since I don't wear make up and can usually be found in overalls or jeans.
What makes me laugh is the correlation between the first part of the rant and the last part.
You talk about why women hit the squick button when they/we/I find out that men have slept with hookers and then you answer your very own question in the last paragraph.
You say "If there were two applicants, both were identical in qualifications, but one made less money, wouldn't I hire that person?"
So when you tell women you have had sex with a hooker.....we want to think it was Elisabeth Shue or Julia Roberts or Jamie Lee Curtis. If that was the case, you might even earn yourself a high five. Sadly, you have already outed yourself as a bargain basement shopper who, when faced with 2 "applicants" with the same qualifications (which is pretty much the ability to fuck and suck)...will pick the cheaper of the two. So forgive women if we go to the scary mental place of imagining you with some disease-ridden, bargain basement roadkill of a hooker and think to ourselves "he PAID for that?!?"
See my point?
Don't get all fuckin' heated up and think that I am attacking you because I agree with a large percentage of what you are saying....i'm just giving adding my 2 cents.
If by choosing via economic standards a hooker, than yes. I'll always go on the cheap. But doesn't that say something about the overall value of women? I'll take cheap over good looking any day of the week. But I will always pay top dollar for one that is fucking mute.
Just to throw in an additional point. Men and women that competently go about their lives and work rarely stand up shaking their fists and pointing fingers at others. It's the incompetent that always seem to have the time to stand around chanting like Krishna freaks about what ever part of their live that is not fair. Boo Hoo. I say that if you are not being paid appropriately for your skill or talent, whether it's knobbing some derelict or digging a tumor out of someone's brain, you need to stand up and find the employer who will recognize your worth.
Good post by the way.
One rule of thumb when shopping for a hooker... If she has all her teeth, she is most likely a cop. The best looking ones are always cops.
Always go for the cheap date that way if you get ripped off you still have cash for a twelver of Keystone and a pack of Marlboro spook sticks.
Spook sticks = Menthol. (give credit to the Fight Dr. for that one)
Spooks don't drink Keystone. They drink Hennessy.
And smoke Newports.
Wait a minute. I thought J.B. smoked nothing but weed? Is it menthol flavored weed? Kool.
Forgive me for just now commenting, I'm a little behind on my Ear Fucked, but I just could not let this one go. As a woman with whom you had that exact hooker conversation, back when we were getting to know each other, allow me to enlighten you.
First of all, I completely agree with the statement, "Its my body, and I can do with it whatever I want." I agree with this because I believe in individual rights, however, it does not mean that I agree with everything that women do to their bodies. I am pro-choice because I believe in a woman's right to choose and I don't think government has a place in this issue, but I myself could never get an abortion. I have no problem with prostitution, and again, I don't think this should be a government issue, but I myself will never have sex for money. This is in no way ironic, and it certainly does not make me a hypocrite. It simply makes me a citizen against giving the government any control over my body.
Back to the hooker conversation. When you and I had this coversation back in the day and you admitting having had hookers, I asked you at that point how many hookers you had slept with, and you refused to give me a number. As if the red flags weren't already flying, you gotta add to it by refusing to admit how many hookers you've had because, to quote you, "then you'll NEVER have sex with me." Hilarious. Jules is correct. Anyone who knows you know that you're not exactly shooting for the top of the line when it comes to hooker selection, even if you hadn't gone ahead and admitted it in the last paragraph. The picture I have in my head of your past hooker selections is not pretty.
Interesting how most of the comments focus on the hooker statement and not so much about equality or the perceived dichotomy in woman's endeavors to achieve an equal status to men. Let me dig into my pockets... all I have is a Susan B. Anthony, well I'll throw that in any way. Allow me to wax philosophical about both sides. For thousands of years the social role of an individual was determined by sex i.e. Hunter/Gatherer or Barefoot and Pregnant/Bringing Home the Bacon. Today qualified a woman can get the same job as a man but still must recognize that Monday Night Football needs to sell beer. Men can stay at home to raise the kids and let the wife earn the bread so long as Home Depot can sell Craftsman tool sets. But can we really believe that Mankind's social stereotypes will be modified into total equality in less than one hundred years? It's going to take more than a few generations to change the necessity of conforming to cultural ideals in order to survive. Yes, ability should dictate value over all outward appearances, unfortunately we are far from achieving that. The patriarchal side of society needs to realize that their daughters will not remain "their little girl" forever and allow her to become a human being unfettered by Revlon's need to help the fat, ugly and smelly women of the world find a man and settle down. The matriarchal needs to ignore Cosmo's insistence that the perfect woman is a 14 year old girl bondoed and shellaced to look like Julia Roberts. To all the suffragists, stop bitching and moaning and do something productive, like pick up the bar tab 'cause I paid last time now it's your turn. That's my two cents, keep the change.
As a woman in both a man's world and a man's industry (as is Kelly, not that I am presuming to speak for her) all you can do is stay true to who you are as a person and continue to do the best you can.
I pick up the check. I stepped up to the plate to be a single mom both emotionally and financially when the man (and I use that term ironically) failed to do so. I don't trade my gender for special favors personally or professionally. I can argue baseball with the best of them (another nod to Kelly.) I have a good ethics, both in my job and my personal life.
I stopped railing against the injustices done to women a long time ago (unless you get a couple of Beam and cokes in me) and have decided to live my life according to no code but my own. By doing so, I believe that this is the way that women will eventually persevere. Whiners are picked last in life. Complainers are dismissed as useless. Life isn't fair...never has been and never will be...it's just what you do with it that defines who you are and how you are perceived. As long as there are high profile examples of women trading on their looks, there will always be a stigma against my gender...and rightfully so.
That being said, as a woman in the United States, I still recognize that I am incredibly lucky in my choices compared to millions of women in other countries. So I will continue not giving a shit about what other people think of me and continue to keep proving them wrong because that's the sweetest revenge I can think of.
