it's hard out here for a ho

a message i sent to a friend who was proud of three six mafia's oscar win:

well, i didn't watch the oscars...cuz i don't care. i hated the movie [hustle & flow] and i hated the song. besides the problematic treatment of women in the movie, the story just wasn't that original or touching! i mean come on! a pimp wants (pick one a. a better life. b. to be famous. c. to make music. d. to share his story), he works hard to get a demo made, gets it to a rapper who ends up shitting on him and he lets his emotions take over and ends up in a worse situation. so...the...hell...what? what is so original? and i want anybody who can, to please help me understand how the hardships of a pimp outweigh the hardships of the women who have sex with strangers for money...only to give some of that hard earned money to a pimp who complains about his hard life. get the hell outa here! i love how people think that it ever gets easy for a prostitute to let a foreign body touch or enter hers. it's hard for a pimp? really? i wasn't aware. and yes i too am absolutely mortified that this sexist buffonery was performed on the oscar stage. i enjoyed seeing the joy on three six mafia's face when they won, but not at the expense of a woman's (any woman) respect. "i'm in charge!!" cheesy!!
