Is it just me or are you also tired of all these glorified "hoes" that some how seem to have milly rocked all the way to the top? I know what some of you are thinking, what makes a hoe a hoe? Do we not give meanings to the words we use? Yes, yes we do, but we must not forget where words first originate from. That's like saying because Kim Kardashian called her "exotic" braids Bo Derek Braids, that the Fulani Tribe in Africa didn't originally bring the style to life. Well according to the Urban Dictionary, T.H.O.T. stands for That Hoe Over There. A woman who is described to act classy to gain male commitment but then turns out to have no respect for her relationships let alone herself. Whether sharing her cookies (vagina) with the whole neighborhood like she's running for Girl Scout president, or by posting scandalous photos on social media seeking male and female validation with her "barely there" posts. Now don't get me wrong, I am all here for female empowerment and taking control of our bodies and living our best lives, but at what cost? Sorry to break it to ya "hoes" but there's a reason why the woman's body is viewed as sacred. God made us incredible vessels that have the ability to carry life for 9 months! 9 months people! If that's not "magical" I don't know what is. Stone me for bringing up gender roles, but we have natural characteristics that are biologically, historically, and politically proven to make the world go round. I personally believe that we as women set the tone and balance for the rest of the world. Men follow our leads. If all it takes is some empty words filled with sweet nothings to get you out of that dress then how do you expect him to see you as a lifelong queen instead of a one night harlot? Or maybe a one night harlot is the vibe you're going for...whatever floats your boat. I think the most frustrating thing about the whole thing is not every woman is trying to be "That Hoe Over There", if anything some of us are trying to be "That Queen Over Here!" But no, our society wants to perpetuate the agenda of "sex sells" and continue to desensitize us to moments and feelings that should truly stay intimate and meaningful. You hear it in our music, you see it on our TL's, the T.H.O.T. movement is here, louder and prouder than ever. It seems like nowadays the females that get the most ratings are the ones that scream from mountain tops " HI. I AM A HOE." Although I can respect their vulnerability, it's definitely not an accomplishment I think they deserve praise for. Somehow these women continue to land jobs, sponsorships, and fame over Ms. Humble Susan tryna keep her clothes on. The funniest thing is, I've had conversations with guys who claim that they'd never wife a "Thot" yet they are the first and most consistent likes on this "hoe's" page. Talk about mixed signals. If anything, it's really just a sad showcase of what we value and respect as a society and is no true representation of how divine the woman is and can be. Ladies please get your lives.
With Love, from a woman just tryna see you win with your clothes on <3
