sex meat...a discussion..
as first posted by a friend of mine, Kendra:
I'm chillin' at the food court at the mall with my homegirls. We ain't talkin' 'bout much. Just makin' small talk. "Reggie so fine." and "Brian is soo cute!" When one of my girls drops a controversial line.
"I wish guys would quit lookin' at me like sex meat, I am NOT a blow-up doll. I am a WOMAN." We chant, "Right on sista!" and go on our merry way.
Now we sittin' on the benches, feet sore from walkin' up and down the mall. Sick of lookin' at the same folk twenty-five times. Then, I begin to observe the people and everyone knows that the mall is the best place to go people watching. What I observe disgusts me, yet intrigues me.
Women strutting down the mall in tops too small and jeans too tight. Swingin' they hips left and right. However, this isn't what intrigues me the most. Its the male-female interaction. Of course, the guys are yellin' obscene and suggestive remarks.
"Yo baby, let me love you long time." or "Girl, you need to jump on this d*ck." and the best of them all "Oooh, suckey, suckey five dolla!"
The girls roll their eyes and shuffle off in six-inch heels they can barely wear. Friend-girl's previous statement pops back to mind. You want a guy to look at you more than a 7/11 coochie? Try puttin' some clothes. Stop showing off what you got. Ever heard of modesty? Try it. It didn't kill The Virgin Mary and it won't kill you.
Girls talkin' about they got class, but whenever you bend over I see yo ass. Someone should tell you that wearing "Sunday" panties on a thursday ain't cute or appealing.
<3 Peace be upon you.
her mood is: enlightened...i see her as far from it..
my response:
meh..i'm kind of half with you half not on this. silly how in order for women to not be GAWKED at we have to moderate our clothing. i think it's ridiculous to make such a statement. sometimes people feel beautiful and feel like showing a bit, granted, there is a limit...but to say that EVERYONE should fucking dress like a nun to get respect? ridiculous. respect does not come in the
form of material objects; it comes through recognizing a human being, it's faults, it's strengths and it's weaknesses.
basically, what you just said was that if we want to be respected, we have to change who we are on the outside. look at women through history, we are always looked at as "deviants", lustful, mischievous because of eve, because of lilith, because of delilah, because of salome., herodias (who was "adulterous")...(i could go on forever...i honestly could) who were all treated strangely because of their position in society, they have paved the way for women today in a sense because half the fuckin world are bible-riding filthy fucks.
it depends on how one carries oneself, on one's attitude...
basically, your theory could be applied to: if women don't want to get raped, they shouldn't go to parties, they shouldn't wear certain clothes and they shouldn't wear certain makeup. BULLSHIT. you're creating a wall, i'm not sure if you've noticed but to put us in a category that says, if we act like this and this and this, we won't have to deal with that and that and that...it doesn't necessarily work that way.
a man can stare the fuck out of me while i'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt (and no, not tight ones either), and he will still insist on telling me how much i'd like his cock...people are people, it has NOTHING to do with material objects, merely the subliminal messages being sent to them on a day-to-day basis and whether or not they heed these silly fucking messages.
/end side note.
i must say, i was disappointed in her, she's a smart kid, but in my opinion, that was NOT a smart observation, just another cog in the backwards-ass-societal workings.
