I always wondered why women weren’t allowed to vote. Initially, I thought it was about power over women, but I have come to a different conclusion. About 5-6 years ago I watched a documentary about street pimps; furthermore, how they recruit new women to work for them. It was like watching a politician run for office, how he could sell a bag of goods, make up these utopian fantasies about how much money they would make, and they could retire together on some island with people serving them. And, these women just soaked it up like a sponge, never challenging their sales pitch, or calling them out. Of course, later down the road, the pimp was mistreating them, but these women would defend the pimp, and blame other pimps for their pimp’s shortcomings. Very loyal to their pimps, no matter how they treated them. Politics is just a bigger pimp game, with promises and grand plans that never seem to materialize. The left blames the right, and the right blames the left. It’s the pimp game par excellence.
