I don't understand. People get called out if you call them out. So why are you being sexist about it?

[–] CaptnNMorgan@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

It's not sexist to point out that Andrew Tate is recognized by many as shitty male role models while at the same time Cardi B is praised by the same people. Those are just two examples of shitty role models but the difference between public reaction for the two seems to only be about their sex. I'm just pointing it out.

Cardi B

Never herd of her. Why do people like her and what is she doing that should be called out?

[–] CaptnNMorgan@reddthat.com -1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

She's a rapper. I'm not saying people shouldn't like her, she has some bangers and she's pretty damn sexy. But she's a gangster and used to be a stripper before her rap career took off. She promotes women being whores and only caring about men for their money. Obviously if it's just adults listening it doesn't matter and is fun. But kids like her too and it normalizes being a gold digging whore for them. It's my opinion that if you have videos online of your naked body, you are disqualified from being a role model but others see it as empowering and a reason to be a role model. I just don't get that.

Can I ask you what your definition of a whore is? You mention a specific instance/example of course. But I’m wondering what to you embodies a whore and why that’s wrong. Interested in discussion, not debating ya ☺️

Well I don't think it's fundamentaly wrong, I just don't think little girls should want to grow up to be that. But I'm happy to expand what I mean when I get out of work. Give me a few hours:)

Looking forward to our convo!

Okay, so. You asked what I think a "whore" is. I would classify anyone who sells their body, whether it's penetration or images online under that title and I guess people that have lots of sex with strangers too. But like I said, I don't think anyone is wrong for doing it, for pretty women it's basically the easiest thing you could do for money. But that's the thing, we shouldn't be raising our children to do what's easy. We should be raising them to become doctors, Lawyers, teachers, etc... and if they want to; really good mothers. I don't even want to get into the fact that a large majority of sex workers come from broken homes and abusive relationships. Every girl I've met that have an only fans or has a lot of sex with people they don't know, either didn't know their father or had an abusive relationship with him. The majority of them didn't have the greatest mothers either. The women I've met that aren't like that always had great relationships with both parents, divorced or not. It's my opinion that if you raise your girl with all the love in the world, she would never even want to be like that. It's completely based on anecdotal evidence but the more I look into it the more I think it's true. That being said I do understand there are some people that just want to fuck and party and that's awesome, but those people usually don't want kids anyway so I don't think it would hurt their feelings by saying they'd be terrible role models.

Edit: we should be raising our girls to want to accomplish meaningful things in their lives and I don't think getting fucked online is much of an accomplishment.

Edit edit: work took longer than anticipated 😅

And Andrew Tate is a human trafficker. How are they similar?

[–] CaptnNMorgan@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

They are both terrible role models, I already said that. What do you think gangsters do?

[–] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just calling her a stripper is burying the big thing. She used to lure men into hotel rooms thinking they had a chance with her, then drug them and rob them.

She talked about it on an instagram.live video circa 2016 or so, it resurfaced and made news again in 2019 and comes up on and off since then.

[–] CaptnNMorgan@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

That behavior falls under "Gangster" not stripper. Although I'm sure she met them at whatever clubs she worked at
