I need us to stop pretending that "hoes" isnt a racialized word. You can say whatever you want, i guess, esp as a [white] sex worker.

But the fact remains that when men say hoes, they generally arent picturing you. Hoes/=/whores, even though they're technically the same.
"Hoes" is slang. The precursor to "thot." And it generally wasnt created for you, [white] sex workers.
So, WW just remember this when you're throwing around the word "hoe": it wasn't meant for you. You can dress to escape it. We can't.
And let us not forget that "slut" is classist and is the mark of lower class/working class white women as well. Go reclaim that.
Let us do our thing with our fancified, frechified "heaux," "geaux," and "meaux." Leave us with our Ishas and our rampant apostrophes.
BW spend our whole lives trying to get in where we fit in, where you can just dress different & blend. "Hoe" has been us since b4 puberty.
