The above link is to one of the most depressing police line-ups that you will ever see. Women aged 38-18, busted at Tampa, FL titty bars for "exposure of genitals" and "prostitution," which the police photographers couldn't even SPELL half of the time.
As one of the few remaining OUT feminists on this planet (thankfully, I am now surrounded by a few of my stellar sisters and Cabana Boy here), I will fight to the death to defend any woman's right to slap her labia around a stripper pole. But let's face it, even though there's a strong contingent of sexually-abused/pedophilia victims in the ENTIRE adult trade (porn/live entertainment/B&D/S&M/etc.), most women don't go into this line of work for KICKS. Or even for some twisted excuse for "validation" that they didn't get at home. Most of the female strippers that I've known were either junkies before they started or became junkies at the clubs, or they have a shit-hole for a boyfriend, who needs "support." Being a stripper IS hard work. They bust their sad little asses up there every night, and most times, see little to none of the actual proceeds, either due to shitty management or parasitic boyfriends (and girlfriends).
But the next time that one of my nieces jokes about hating her job and becoming a stripper to increase her profits, I'm going to forgo the usual "cooties/pushers/junkies/assault" rap and just show them the pictures of these girls who have aged so quickly. If nothing else, it will appeal to their personal vanity, seeing as how they are all still young enough to think themselves impervious to physical danger.
I've said it before, but here goes one more shot: American Christians are the BIGGEST FUCKING HYPOCRITES ON THE PLANET. Period. When the bible-banging, mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, cousin-fucking, hand-waving, speaking-in-tongues, child-abusing, tax-evading, greedy little psycho MONSTERS of the Extreme Right elected Dumbya, they pretty much made their lifetime statement about how they feel about women and equality. Every time there's a self-professed "christian" in the White House, (Jimmy Carter aside) porn goes through the roof. Porn, sex shops, sex toys, titty bars, call girls, hookers, hand jobs in the bus station --- all of the ways in which women can be bought & sold become EVEN BIGGER THAN BEFORE. Gee, I wonder how that happens, seeing as how all "christians" are so fucking INNOCENT AND VIRGINAL. They're so PIOUS, always condemning EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE of natural, mature, REAL human sensuality, and freaking the fuck OUT over Janet Jackson's TIT --- They really like to get off by telling women what they can do with their own uteruses. They probably bang their whangs on the toilet seat every night over the concept of government-mandated chastity belts, or, rather, government-controlled FORCED CONCEPTION.
But when it comes to women being treated as HUMAN BEINGS, forget that shit. We're right back to fucking CHATTEL. And these dittohead O'Liely republicunt motherfuckers have made "feminist" into a DIRTY FUCKING WORD. Like a woman should be ASHAMED for wanting HER OWN FUCKING LIFE. Like a woman is somehow LESS if she is not driven by the blind obedience to the BREEDING COMPULSION. Like women are only here for ONE PURPOSE, and it sure as hell isn't trying to FIX UP ALL OF THE TRILLIONS OF MISTAKES THAT MEN HAVE COMMITTED.
We're nothing but cunts with legs to a whole, big, fat, honkin segment of this country, ladies. And what really breaks my heart is not that the GOOD GUYS never get any attention nowadays (y'know, the probable MAJORITY of men, the ones who LOVE and RESPECT women) --- though that does kill me on so many levels --- what really breaks my fucking heart is that most women under the age of 30 in this country don't have a fucking clue what feminism IS.
They think that the FOX and MSNBC definitions (hairy-legged eco-loving lesbians in work boots with 18 cats) are the only ones that have ever existed. Like there's something WRONG with being a hairy-legged, cat-loving environmentalist who also loves women. Yet "lesbian" (and yes, that's a BIG pseudonym!) porn is the biggest seller out there, even moreso than bondage porn.
Young women (including one of my own nieces, I am sad and ashamed to say) nowadays think that being "liberated" means avoiding STDs while you're fucking the entire fraternity, so long as you finally land the RIGHT rich boy who can provide you with the lifestyle to which you'd like to become accustomed. Sure, there are some seriously barraccuda-style career women out there, and there are even still some career women with conscience, like the 31-year-old owner of Rock The Vote. But here, in Redneck Hell, it's right back to June Cleaver On Rufies. Rich girls can have careers, poor girls get jobs. And the middle-class wannabes marry up. And not a one of them (with certain notable exceptions) gives a flying rat's ass about any OTHER women, even when they happen to be the not-quite-cold body over which they must climb in pursuit of money or a man.
Is this all that is left to us now? Sit down, shut up, swallow believably, and hang onto that meal ticket? Or, ya know, St. Ann of the Codpiece, who obviously hates feminists because they possess the things that she never will... like a UTERUS and OVARIES... Hey, even Swedish surgeons can only accomplish so much.
I'm so glad to have found Blondesense. At least here, I feel like there is a POINT in continuing the fight that the rest of our country pretends is over. "Hey, we get paid more when we bare a tit in movies, isn't that the point?" "War Of The Sexes? Is that, like, PORN???" "Who gives a shit about 'women's lib'? I've got a 5.4 carat diamond and an Excursion, bitch!" "Feminism is for the ugly bitches who can't get laid." And so on and so on, ad nauseum.
Not that it matters, but I, for one, have NEVER had a problem with "getting laid." But then again, I don't wear it as a badge of honor, either. Even in this fucked-up country where male whores are still "studs" (unless you count JimmyJeff GuckertGannon) and female sluts are "whores." And yes, there is a difference between a slut and a whore: Whores are in it for the MONEY.
So while I have no idea whether the Tampa 14 above were actually engaged in any illegal behavior or not when they were arrested (sorry, but I never take the cop's word first), it still makes me sad to see their faces. Because but for the whims of fate and geneology, there go we. They are us. We are them. We probably didn't make the same choices in life that got us to whatever particular point, but we might as well have made their mistakes. To the madonna/whore cunt-obsessed theocrats in this country, we are all, still, MERELY women.
And until we can find a way to bring our systems and our economy around to where women like these have CHOICES with their lives, until we can create a country where NO woman has to sell her ass to feed herself or her children, until we can finally FIX that fucked-up joke of the "war on drugs" --- we will always be such.
I'm lucky, I guess. I've had my fuck-ups and my adventures, I've lived stories that would shock Larry Flynt. I've sold plasma and tourist photos and drinks and sex toys but never my ass. I've been subjected to more horseshit than Churchill Downs. But I can at least be grateful that I've never had to resort to walking Airline Highway to scrounge the cash for a meal.
And yeah, I do have a pretty cool boyfriend. Not bad to look at, either. But if y'all could see the neanderthals that I've auditioned to get to this point, you'd understand why I am so grateful. By the time that I met the boyfriend, I was to the point of never wanting to even SPEAK to another man or woman (yeah, I said it!) again, let alone let 'em see me NEKKID. But even when I was planning on becoming a complete hermit, the fickle fates intervened. And sometimes those bitches aren't half bad.
But we can never forget the women who aren't so lucky, who haven't had the opportunities or the safeguards that we have had. Women in Africa and the Middle East who are still ritually mutilated so that the men there will feel "manly." Women in this country who are starving, abused, exploited, yes, even today. Women around the world who never got a fair shot at anything. Because they are us, and we are them. And we have to keep reaching out.
