The exploitation of women

Who is gaming who? Sometimes I wonder who is walking away the winner, but the more that I think about it, I think both parties are losers, the man and the woman. The sexual exploitation of women is not new to me, its not as if I have never heard stories before of one night stands or slick, smooth talking young men who were able to get the very best of a woman in a short amount of time. I am well aware that women sometimes can exploit themselves just as anyone who realizes they have a desired commodity sometimes do.

Suddenly, I notice the value of women has gone down. Or maybe it has always been this way and I have never noticed. Maybe it is because I have been transplanted from a rural town to a metropolis, and with the larger population comes more people willing to exploit and be exploited. I don’t dare suggest that in my small rural town that women were treated as gods. No, far from it, they were treated more or less the same. But, where I come from their numbers compared to the males where so small (And of course they were well aware of this) that the price for their exploitation was so outrageous and demanding that hearing things like “I fucked three different bitches yesterday so I’m good for today, ya hear me…I’m not even worried.” Was unheard of because of the time and effort required, and the price they demanded for their precious commodity.

In this brave new world the price for admission is nothing more than a stick of marijuana. “Ya, see all I do is say Hey whats up, whats your name, what you doing, where you going, you smoke, get in, and I got em!” This is of course not the norm, as I quickly realized the type of woman that is willing to sell herself for this price, but there is a substantial amount of women that play the game like that. “Oh, yeah me and my boys we keep bitches on deck that aint a problem, I can get you one right now, lil bad red bone, I give you her number text her and tell her you found out about her through the chat line, ya say it just like that chat line, she’ll know and tell her you got a bag [of marijuana] and you in there.”

I am not surprised about the passing of women around by men, I have witnessed this in small douses in my rural hometown, however the practice is not as wide spread as most women are ‘stolen’ from other men or they are just ‘borrowed’ for a time being and silently, politely given back without the first male ever knowing a thing. “I met this one broad on the train, 180 pounds, but it was in all the right places, ya hear me? Hips thighs fat ass, she had long dreads down to her chest, right…said she smoked wet ones [Marijuana laced with PCP] I was like OH! Score, you know in pool, I don’t play pool but…you know how in pool you win the game by hitting the eight ball in, well when she said she smoked wet that was like the eight ball being real close to the pocket, easy man easy.”

So who walks away the winner in the game. Because its all a game, all the players know it’s a game. Is it the man who knows from the start every word out his mouth is to advance his agenda to having sex, or is it the woman who (usually the type that play this game) has nothing else to do gets a free smoke and some sex out this random stranger. Is she using him to get something she wants, or is he using her to get what he wants. They both get what they want in the end, maybe one more so than the other. However, the woman is still being exploited by the man, because it is the man who starts contact and has on his mind what he wants from the woman. It is the man who first offers what he is willing to give in return for what he wants. “I mean you gotta look at it like this, ya know that’s ten dollars right there for the sack right, and I’m fucking…especially if she a bad bitch that’s one hell of a deal! Ten dollars for the fuck, and if she a fat bitch you know she’s sucking my dick, that’s already going down, cant beat that.”

The exploitation of a woman for a stick of Marijuana: “Oh she geeking ya hear me? She geeking, she want it she just called me talking bout what am I doing, telling ya, ya need to go head and call her and dug her out, get you that J and go ahead and do that, and then call me and I’ll go on over there and dug her out, case she geeking man, ya hear
