Does a "Hoe" even exist?

'Hoe'  vs. Sexual Liberation: Is there a difference?

I am tired of people referring to women as "hoes" or "whores."

Men do not even use the word correctly, where instead of calling a woman a woman, they call her a "hoe" or a "b-tch." The reasons that they refer to her as one are not even enough to allow those comments to surface.

Personally, I do not believe "hoes" exist.

I believe that women who some may presume to be "hoes" are sexually liberated women.


Men have been using the word "hoe" a little too loosely, allowing the word to be a common word used to refer to a woman. For example, a man could say "That hoe helped me with my homework."

But wait… She's a hoe if she helps you with your homework?

According to Urban Dictionary, hoe means "a woman who is 'easy', and will have sex just about anything with a heartbeat." Due to this definition, I have come to the conclusion that a "hoe" is the same thing as a prostitute.

So basically gentlemen, let's get one thing straight. Whenever you call a woman a hoe, you are also calling her a prostitute? A woman who has sexual intercourse with anything for money?

People are not understanding the importance of word usage. Word usage is extremely important, if used incorrectly things can be misinterpreted.

In some cases, a woman can be sexually liberated.

Also according to Urban Dictionary, Sexual liberation means, "The freedom to partake in sexual activities with whom ever you choose. Without discrimination or labelling." This definition concludes that a woman who is "sexually liberated" is a woman who is particular about her sexual partners, but chooses to have sex with them when she desires.

In other words, she does not have sex with "anything with a heartbeat." She is particular, she just chooses to have more than one sexual partner that she knows or feels comfortable.

America needs to understand that sexually liberated women exists, because using the word "hoe" to address them, is highly disrespectful and degrading.

On my final note, boys and men of america, let us understand that every woman who is sexually active is a "hoe." Every woman who chooses to have sex with more than one person is not a "hoe." Understand the difference before you put such derogatory name to her activity.

A woman deserves more respect than someone judging her based on her sexual history. She is a human being, who should be treated as such. Before you give her the name "hoe," understand who she is first.

Because even though some men choose to have sex with multiple women, you all do not consider yourselves a "hoe." We are supposed to say, "it's just boys being boys."


No.

It's one or the other, there is no exception.

Let's just do away with the word "hoe" shall we? Because the majority of the ones you call "hoes," are some of the most sexually, (and classy) liberated women you know.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
