Hello all,
I am writing this article because I am sick and tired of my past hook-ups being brought up as if it is something to be ashamed of, because it's not. People generally don't make decisions that they think they will be ashamed of in the future. To me, it doesn't make much sense why people ever thought like this in the first place. To a man stuck in the stone age or maybe a woman who's not in their right mind, it makes total sense to make fun of a girl for having sex- which is evidently pathetic.
I'm not going to try and explain to you why I always end up in these situations, so let's start off here: I get into a lot of arguments with men (especially out drinking with friends.) This doesn't mean I hate the entire male gender- there are plenty of good ones out there, but there is also a specific category of men that have truly exasperated me throughout my life and considering the fact that I have a big mouth, I must put in my two cents. It usually starts off with him saying something sexist or asking me to 'hook him up with one of my friends' due to their lack of game and incapability to do their own dirty work. After I have obviously put them in their place, they claim to have the most extraordinary comeback of all time.
This is the part where I sit back and take another sip of my wine. "Hit me with ya best shot," I say with this with my game face on, knowing exactly what kinda bullshit they're about to try.
"You hooked up with ________?! "
Not phased. More like... confused. I just sit there waiting for them to finish with something that might actually sound the slightest bit intelligent- but no. Sadly, that was it. THAT was their best shot. Now this is the part where I start to laugh uncontrollably because I start to reminisce about the time I hooked up with _____ and I don't quite remember it being such a bad time- A really good time rather, so I was really taken off guard when this person thought that they could use it as an insult. HA.
Here's an analogy that might help a close minded brain understand why woman are allowed to have sex without being ashamed of it. (Why the hell do I even have to explain this?)
When I go shopping and buy a new shirt, I am well aware of the fact that I'm buying this new shirt. I checked the price tag on the shirt, I tried the shirt on and I know damn well I want the shirt- so I buy the shirt. If I didn't think the shirt was hot, I wouldn't have purchased the damn shirt. Would anyone buy a shirt for themselves that they didn't want to wear? No. Are they going to look in the mirror and say "Dang, I don't know why I bought this shirt that looks so great on me. I'm so disappointed in myself." Obviously not.
Furthermore, I really don't give a shit that you are aware of the fact that I hooked up with this person or that person because I made those decisions for myself. I know. It's bonkers, isn't it? We're all humans and we all have sexual desire. It's normal. Get over it or figure out a way to travel your ass back in time because no one in 2016 wants to hear it anymore.
