Silk Purse on a Pig
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 | Life
Last week I wrote about Susan Finkelstein the woman who is accused of offering sex for World Series tickets and I had more to say about it then my meager typing skills could accomplish in one week. By waiting I will be able to update the story.
First of all, it turns out that she did get tickets from a local radio station and car dealership. Here we go again.
When did sleaziness become not only acceptable but the norm? I realize that I may be called a curmudgeon but I think that we should at least consider changing our views on what is happening.
It seems that girls and women are using the new found freedoms their predecessors fought for to sell themselves. Susan Finkelstein doesn’t seem to be the only one who is offering sex for goods. Today on Maury Povich was a segment on teen prostitutes. They were from middle and upper class families and they were selling themselves for money to buy Pradas and Jimmy Choo’s.
During Mardi Gras in New Orleans girls used to flash for beads. I assume it started because most of these women were drunk but also because women are competitive. Soon Joe Francis realized that he didn’t even need the beads just the booze and Girls Gone Wild was born. I am constantly amazed that so many women are willing to show their breasts for less then dinner and a movie.
I often hear from women that men think with the head that isn’t on their shoulders and I’m beginning to think that it is outsmarting women. I have often thought that the 1964 Civil Rights act was better for men than women. Women are gradually becoming the breadwinners, we don’t give them our seats or hold the door for them, when we both work the women still do most of the housework; that’s my kind of equality.
Now men have convinced women to take off their clothes and more for trinkets. We also get to take the moral high ground. We can still comment that these girls who sell themselves for Prada bags are sluts or to paraphrase the election phrase with the old adage;’ you can put a silk purse on a pig but it still isn’t Sarah Palin”.
