Crazy love or crazy denial...

...of a woman? I think, women are so eager to believe and feel that they are in this perfect heavenly love that they take a long time to accept that they are actually in a physically or emotionally abusive relationship. Leslie Morgan Steiner talks about her true story. "He worshipped me and denigrated me at the same time," she explains.

Full story here. Do listen to her here.

She is...

(Pre script: It’s no secret or a surprise anymore that I am a feminist, so here we go…)

Post contd…

...a tramp, bimbette, bimbo, harlot, strumpet, slut, play girl, call girl, hooker, moll, streetwalker, bar girl, stripper, tart, camp follower, bawd, scarlet woman, courtesan, strumpet. She is called by all these names because a woman whose birth goal was only to satiate swinging levels of desires of men from time to time. Some eye-candy “pleasures”, some physical “pleasures” and pleasures all the way. Hell, has she been objectified for libido blame transfer?! (Do we have such an elaborate adjectives listing for men?)

So who is a tramp or a slut or a tart or pick any adornment from above list that is given by not-so-fair sex? Any woman who has big breasts or just breasts? Any woman who has perfect hour-glass body or just nice cleavage or nice shaped legs to pierce your gaze into? What is it, really? No seriously, I ask? List is endless and the guy would want to do her desperately with mighty desperation but such a slut does not qualify for respect or marriage or respectful relationship. If she does not consent to play any role of choice then just fuck the shit out of her and rape her, right??

OK…what triggered my blood to boil and anger to seethe so much so that I had to make my point and not so subtly this time? I heard a conversation of TV/movie junkies and one said, “Bay Watch, Ooooooh yeah!!! Pamela Anderson is a kind of girl I would want to do…you know…but she is not the kind of girl whom you take to your mom.” I sat there, heard, as my fist tightened, eyes widened and I breathed heavily through my nose in anger. I gulped my frustration over this since I have decided not to be aggressive on every instance!

So what is it with this hypocrisy? Because no one sees it or no one says it or it’s just not even worth mentioning for this second rate citizenry of humanity? Was she born only for first rate citizens to fit into any role that he may wish for? Sometimes a slut, a stripper and on different scenarios, a good girl who can be a wife, a mother or mother of his kids? All various existences desired should be mutually exclusive and shall not be combined under any circumstances. Her roles are pre-defined and her destiny is the deciding factor which bucket she will fall in to. Mind you, she does not have a choice of her own but merely an option to choose from.

I have not understood the stigma that women have to carry in providing sex- services either by consent or force, when the stigmatization essentially should be borne by men which is driven by their desires, right? Think about it, tomorrow, guys who go to women for sex are called prostitutes, or those who go to see flesh for friendly banter are called strippers, or guys who ogle at hot chicks are called tramps.

Sigh!!
