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

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.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
