My boy asked me this the other day. I've been rattling this question around my head in hopes of getting to the root of this issue.
Trying to figure out who isn't a heaux here... HELP!
Let me start by saying that not all women are heauxs. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the majority of women aren't heauxs. I don't wanna be misconstrued as a misogynist just yet, there's a lot more of this post to be read.Secondly, I'm not a prisoner of the moment. There have always been heauxs who didn't know their place. In the Bible (yes I'm using a Bible story to further a point about heauxs not knowing their place) Abraham's wife, before she conceived Isaac, thought she was too old to have kids so she sent her Egyptian servant, Hagar, to get it in with Abraham so they could raise a child. Of course after the kids born, the Egyptian baby-moms had jokes on Abrahams wife and had to be sent off before she got murked. Heauxs have always been of the thinking that they are more than what she they are so this shouldn't feel all that new.
That being said there seems to be a rise in heaux-confidence and heaux expectations nowadays. The right-wing-heaux media saturates the airwaves selling us on the idea that a pretty face/nice tits/fat ass combo has a high-price tag despite how many lames have gotten it for free. The social networks are the current breeding ground for this movement but where does all this heaux inspired hope stem from? The answer is very simple. 80s-90s teen movies/romantic comedies.
Think about how crazy the plot to "Pretty Woman" is.
She started off like this but a sprinkle of some sangano's money...
A bad heaux gets caught up in life's occasional fucked-up-ness. Her 1st john basically is some super wealthy lame who has none of tools to get a girl and all of the money (your average trick). But instead of 1-nighting her, he wifes her. Diamonds, shopping sprees, introduces her to friends as if she ain't a heaux.
Now she living like this. SMDH
Now you might be saying to me rhetorically "But Joseph, that's a movie. Shit like that happens all the time in movies." And you would be wrong. Historically movie heauxs were the bane of a man's existence, his achilles heal and cause of his eminent demise.Think of your classic movie heauxs and other heauxs throughout history. Cleopatra. Delilah. The heaux who got pregs in Grease. Shit, fucking EVE from the Bible (yup thats 2 Bible references in 1 post). The point is, these heauxs brought about the demise of the man. Pretty Woman made it seem like heauxs could one day save the world if only we would fund their lavish life-style needs.
I guess have to thank your mom for your lowered self-esteem.
2 generations of Americans were bred on the idea that heauxs should be looking for financial security in the arms of a rich sangano looking to have the proper eye candy. The 80s glamorized the idea of the heaux. The heaux was first created by man in the 80s in the movie "Weird Science."
Notice when she 1st comes into existence she had CLEAR heels on. We ALL know what clear heels mean.
She did their bidding and granted their wishes. But that movie tricked you. Notice, they never piped down the hottie with the British accent even though they made her. Think about that. Not like she didn't have the "do me like this" vibe. Also she caused crazy havoc and yet she didn't get any punishment. She was allowed to teach them a lesson. The magical-heaux taught them life lessons! You think any heaux was teaching a boy to be a man in Casablanca or Citizen Kane?
Then you have Desperately Seeking Susan. A suburban house wife so obsessed with a heaux and the heaux-lifestyle goes to spy on the heaux and then gets caught up in the heaux life. She went from dressing appropriately to dressing like Madonna (who played the heaux) of 1985. Think about that. Housewife who seeks out the heaux-life. Not the high-life the heaux-life.
The Heaux Standard of 1985
This is a monumental shift in American psyche. Madonna, the predominant heaux of the era pushed the idea of the coolness of heaux-ness. Song like "Pop don't preach" told the world her heaux-ness was not our problem. "Like a virgin" planted the seed that any woman can be made new by a new dude. And we bought it. Hook, line and sinker.
Madonna went on to dominate the 90s musically while the romantic comedy evolved. But the damage has been done. Artist have been bread on this era of movies and now I have to here the Dream. This dude is like the Sean Hannity of the heaux agenda (not to mention a watered down imitation of Prince)."Throw it in the Bag"? No. How bout "Get a fuckin' job."
I wouldn't wish a shorty taking half of anybody's shit BUT this lame is the exception.
I can picture young Terius Nash (yea I threw out your government nigga) growing up lame and pudgy and awkward looking, inspired by "Can't Buy Me Love" or "Pretty in Pink" to switch his style up and shower some shorty with gifts that she just doesn't deserve. That's why you got served them papers dude. I'm an Usher fan but "Wanna make love in this club"? Fuck outta here. If I'm getting it in in the club, we aint making love. We fucking. You know this and I know this. This aint "16 Candles" and your ass aint Molly Ringwald. And I know you're thinking "Aint that the same thing." No it's not. Euphemisms are the tools of the heaux. Don't fall prey.What I don't understand is why don't "good" women stand up against the army of heauxs emptying the "all the good men." The reason ya can't is you're all under the same Destiny's Child banner. Claiming to be "Survivors" but still tryna get a dude to pay your "Bills, Bills, Bills." Now this isn't all women. But that's another post entirely.
I just wanna end this by saying. Fuck Molly Ringwald. Fuck. 1985-96 Madonna. Fuck Freddie Prince jr. ("She's All That"? No the fuck she wasn't.) Fuck Dawson and his fucking creek.
Did anyone get laid on this show?
Fuck Julia Roberts. Fuck Richard Gere. Fuck The Dream. Fab will never be in my Top 5 rappers solely because of "Throw It in the Bag." Fuck George Bush, he didn't have shit to do with this but just thought that I should mention. Fuck you lames putting ordinary pussy on the Pantheon. And last but most of all Fuck John Hughes
This is like the Godfather of Heaux Lovin.R.I.P. John Hughes...asshole
........Feels good to be back.
Fuckin awesome
ReplyDeleteDon't you think your being a bit cynical. I completely understand and partially aggree with your point but why is it that men have such a need to label women. We're either good or bad, hoe or wife "material". Gold digger or not. I certainly don't think a "heauxs" should be trying to elevate herself through men she's slept with, but don't people in general use whatever their resources are in life, some women just feel that their bodies are a better business tool than others women who are brighter,which use their minds to move ahead in life. I do agree media has a huge fault but men completely do as well. A lot of men like these types of women and love to show them off. There sadly is a trade off of some sort for this to continually be occurring.
ReplyDeleteAs for you saying "What I don't understand is why don't "good" women stand up against the army of heauxs emptying the "all the good men."-Can you actually consider these men good, they know what kind of women they are choosing.I don't they are completely blinded by a heauxs charm and beauty, there definitely is a power and self esteem booster or something that they like and are gaining. I maybe be wrong but I'm just say! Everything has two sides to it. But I'm definitely not a Heauxs
Im gonna work backwards on youre response. The average man isn't blinded by a heauxs charm or beauty. Those factors are irrelevant. The goals to smash so though the heaux may THINK she's gaming someone, at the end of the day, she's just a lay.
ReplyDeleteDoes that take away from a guys ability to call himself good? you can judge a people however you feel you should.
Secondly, I never took blame away from dudes. I've been preaching against lames and sanganos since the beginning of time. Thoses who dont know how to talk to or decipher a woman and use material things to keep their attention. They don't know who to or how to value a women so anything with a pretty face and vagina will do. Those dudes are FUELING the problem. But im not gonna deny that their are heauxs. Neither can you. Whether you are one, think you are one or not.
Stop with the female solidarity bullshit. all humans with a vagina are not created equal.
P.S. If you'd like I can edit from now on. LOL
ReplyDelete....This s*** had me laughing the whole way through:))LMAO!!! im mad it took a min. 4 me to find & read BUT IM GLAD I DID!!! The funny thing is, i c these type of womEn ALL THE TIME & I through it was jus me that saw the type of things these women could get away with. SWEEET;0 (sorry i had to use it) Job well done tho.....
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this read. Thanks (:
ReplyDeleteFirst and foremost I haven’t seen a lot of the pieces that you referred to in this post (I'm not very good with being up to date on all movies lol.)
But I still didn’t miss the point; the lifestyle of dudes who trick ...on hoes. (Tricking is STILL tricking if you got it BTW) And how everything around us deems that to be okay.
And it NOT. It’s appalling actually. And actually too many are confused about relationships and what = happy because of this phenomenon. + the fact that being slutty = being cool = being hot.
I want to make sure I reiterate what you already said ... NO not all women are looking for a dude to pay her bills. Most women (smart ones) would look at the dude who’s just as successful as her or more successful though because usually this Is the man that works just as hard as we do. We don’t want to maintain ya'll either. Well I can only speak for myself and women like me.
It’s the idiots. The mediocre. The typical ...'men' who put "normal" pussy on the pedestal and miss the phenomenal golden upholstered pussy from pussy town headquarters (yes I'm using that from Ye's track in which he also spazzes about this lmao) who can also stand their own two and pay their own bills and pick up the check for dinner when they go out to eat because they don’t know how to LOOK for qualities in these queens other than what’s promoted out there (in the media who stems out to everyone we know) and that of course is not much more than a pretty face, a fat ass, nice titis and little air heady of course. BITCHES forget ...having a fat ass isn’t a talent unless you can do cool things with it on a pole or close to one.
Hov said, in one of my favorite Hov pieces, TOO MANY BROTHAS WANNA BE LOVERS DONT KNOW WHAT ROMANCE IS TOO MANY BITCHES STUCK UP FROM TOO MANY SEXUAL ADVANCES. (SLUTS)TOO MANY BITHCES WANNA BE LADIES, IF YOU A HOE IMMA CALL YOU A HOE TOO MANY BITCHES IS SHADY.
And we also heard it from Drake "shout out to the homeowners, the girls who got diplomas and enough money to loan us, a little something extra should we ever need it." (Yes I like Drake, a lot.)
I'm a lady so when my boys are ranting about heauxs and bitches and their ways I sit back, agree and laugh ...and extend the points of course. I don’t take this personal because I KNOW it doesn’t apply to me. Now if something hits a nerve for those get angry when men refer to humans with vaginas as hoes and bitches...its simply because they don’t understand that not all girls are ladies and not all girls are bitches. (Wrongfully doing it because you’re bitter is an entirely different thing though – but lets assume that’s not the case here) You make that bed yourself. That’s why mom always teaches us to sit with our legs closed and speak eloquently until we figure out where we want to be in society. IF you don’t want to be referred to as a bitch or a heux then simply don’t be one or carry yourself like one. And if you're mad then have a long by yourself meeting as self asses yourself. Harvey said “Think like a man, act like a lady.”
WOMEN know their role as heauxs should too. We women don’t respond to those beckoning heuxs and bitches. That’s why we don’t turn around when guys make those hissy noises when we're walking down the street or flash like Diddy. ....that’s how u beckon a heux.
You know a WOMANS presence when you see one. She walks and talks it and needs no ones approval. No need for explanations.
(P.S. Shout out to you for referring to the Bible…TWICE.)
(P.S.S. I’m a Dream fan, fall back. Lol)
Freddie "Prinze" Jr., not 'Prince'. Artists have been "BREAD"?!! What are they fucking wheat loaves? And now you have to "HERE" the Dream?!!! Not to mention that the use of the spelling of the word "hoe" or even "ho", a direct derivative of "whore", as "heaux" is fully ridiculous from an etymological standpoint. This entire blogpost is NULL and VOID.
