It's been a rough couple of weeks, my friends; too long a time full of things to do and too short a time in which to get them done. The last of these tasks is to finish packing for my big summer trip, which I am putting off to do yet something else I've been procrastinating. So consider this an overdue post. And on with the show...
First order of business (because I'm a business woman), and to quote Lil' Kim (because she knows What Girls Like)
You can call me a slut
Who gives a fuck
That's fine nigga shit
I'm a good with mine
I can tell by your shoes you know what I want
Fuck a prenup give me half up front
My sex be the best so we split these costs
You can stop saying mine
And start saying ours
Thank you, Ms. Jones, for charting a path through some seamy territory on behalf of the modern woman. For as much as girls like Kim do to push boundaries, the social structures in which we live dictate that a slut is still a slut and that a man who sleeps around is simply doing what God created him to do. It was that bitch Eve after all who tempted Adam with her profound and earthly delights, exiling them both from eternal happiness. Well, excuse me God, but if it is a sin to be Man's knowledge-seeking better half, then call me a sinner for wanting more. I won't go much further into my feelings on the offensiveness that is the creation myth, but I will say that it's wrong to feed a girl idealized notions of gender equality when men and women continue to inhabit such unequal social spheres. All's I'm sayin' is, if we're gonna pretend that we're playing fair in this game, let's also pretend to take some responsibility. Half up front. No more and no less.
and I'm out.
