I agree. Men who refer to themselves as "players" are hoes too.

Frat,

I am surprised that it was started by a woman. But then again, in some ways, I unfortunately am not as many have become desensitized to this as well.

Ok, so if that term and the term "woman" don't belong together. What are we saying by using it? So now it's ok to disrespect some women? Is that what we are teaching the next generation?

That there are hoes.

Feminism doesn't remove the hoe label. Feminism means that the hoe label should be used for males and females, who fit whatever subjective criteria there is, equally.

Now if the person is a "sex worker" then he or she has rights and a labor union that backs them (no pun intended). That's a profession whereas being a HOE is not.

This is an old thread so maybe I'm forgetting how it started. Isn't the title in reference to "hoes" and not to "women?"

Perhaps the title can be changed to "promiscuous women (and men)." Would that really change the meaning beyond removing the catch phrase?

The discussion in this thread already addressed the subjectivity of the term "hoe."

DSTChaos,

The reason that I personally have a problem with it is b/c it doesn't strike me as suitable to call any woman a derogatory term. I just don't think that it's good for our community to continue that kind of madness. This is why I have a problem with it. The title just doesn't strike me as something that is of the caliber to be on the Alpha Phi Alpha page and, appears at least to me, to disrespect all women. I was surprised to see it on the Alpha page.

Hoes are hoes. There are male hoes, female hoes, black hoes, white hoes, Asian hoes, educated hoes, dumb hoes......

This is an old thread. Have you been surprised for all these years?

Actually, I don't come to this board very often but I have noticed it off and on for a while. It just struck me that I have been noticing it off and on for awhile and to just say something. But, as you know, the fact that it is an old thread doesn't have any relevance towards the point of my post.

It actually does have relevance. But instead of helping to keep this 7 year old thread on top, maybe you can take your plea to an Alpha moderator via PM.
