Derogatory names for women seem to present an undeniable pattern. Most of these names imply that a girl is doing sexually distasteful actions. Maybe this particular girl is thought to be having too much sex, maybe she cheated on her boyfriend, or she might have a strong flirtatious personality. All of these examples have the ability to land this girl in the modern day classification of HOE... or would you prefer SKANK/ SLUT/ WHORE/ THOT/ RATCHET. All of these words are horribly engrained into the minds of males and females today. Any girl who acts out sexually is automatically categorized as something related to a harlot. The fact that all of these demeaning terms are able to fall under each others categories with the connection being sex, only means one thing. These words were made to degrade a woman's sexuality. A persons sexuality is one thing they cannot change and once actions have been taken, they cannot be taken back. These words are toxic to a females mind. These words were not made to prevent women from having sex. Realistically no on can control another persons actions. These words were made to shame the most natural thing a woman can do. This is a form of oppression. These words pave a road for people to speak as though they have dominance over a female. The main point of this spiel is not about trying to put a stop to name calling. It's the principal behind the matter. LADIES, DO NOT PUT UP WITH THIS BULLSHIT ANYMORE. IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO STAND UP AND SAY "DO NOT CALL ME THAT" THE NEXT TIME SOMEBODY CALLS YOU A HOE, THEN YOU ARE CONDONING THE OPPRESSION. YOU ARE A SLAVE TO THOSE AWFUL WORDS.
