Is a "Pimps and Ho's Party" disrepectful???

Still slaves and hoes are very different. No woman is born into prostitution. Prostitution is not nationally legal. Woman have a choice slaves didn't. Women have rights slaves didn't. I don't see a comparion. Sorry.

personally, i think this topic is ridiculous.
i'm in a local sorority, so i don't know much about how national chapters & crap like that works, but seriously. it's a party theme. if you don't like it, don't do it. personally, P&H mixers are always fun at my school. Greek life is small here, and isn't spalshed on the front pages of the school newspaper. we don't open our mixers up to random people, and nobody honestly takes the themes seriously. theyre for fun. no need to get all political about it.

You're also underestimating how many girls want to be trophy wives. Hell, there is a facebook group of sorority girls called "Why can't I just major in being a housewife?"

There's a difference between common housewives and trophy wives. Trophy wives are meant to be seen and not heard...they sit there and look pretty, and nothing else. Hence the word "trophy." Housewives usually have responsibilities around the home...cooking, cleaning, etc, or if they're rich maybe charity work....but just don't work in the traditional sense.

I'm not being overly political. Girls in college probably don't take the P/H party theme seriously, and I'm not suggesting they should. My issue was with the "trophy wives and millionaires" party because it specified that the men be the millionaires while the women just be arm candy. At least with P/H there's some flexibility to decide which you want to be I prefer party themes that are a little more creative, I guess. Isn't P/H "SO five years ago" anyway?

Housewives of rich men don't do much housework.

Walk around Manhattan during the day and look around

Edited to add: And lots of trophy wives do charity work, its part of their social scene.

Go to the party dressed in a powersuit and ask which man will be your trophy husband . . there has to be a Kevin Federline in the group.

That's why I said that bit about "or if they're rich maybe charity work." I actually would not consider a rich woman dedicated to charity work a trophy wife. But anyway, my point is that many girls want to be spoiled by a rich husband, but don't necessarily want to be used just for their looks and have to rely on their looks to support them...so in that case they're using the term incorrectly and I'm just tired of hearing so many young college-educated women say that's what they want to be.

It's pretty easy to be "dedicated" to charity work, when your finances are taken care of and you don't have a job to go to.
I'd probably do charity work too, if only to keep from going stir-crazy from boredom.
