Listen up, men and women alike. Poverty, losing one or both parents, hardship, or a bad economy are not reasons for a woman to go into prostitution or what they fondly call “runs” or “hookup.” Stop making excuses on their behalf. It’s time to face the brutal truth: a bad girl is bad by choice, not by circumstances.
I’ve seen countless women who face the same struggles, the same harsh realities, and yet they choose a different path. They take the bull by its horns and make legit money. They don’t resort to selling their bodies for a quick buck. They grind, they hustle, and they find ways to survive with dignity and integrity.
Take that woman with an infant driving a keke to make money. She didn’t sit around feeling sorry for herself. She didn’t look for the easy way out. She took charge of her life and did what needed to be done to provide for her child. That’s strength. That’s resilience. That’s a woman who refuses to be a victim of her circumstances.
Stop giving these women a pass by blaming their actions on tough situations. Tough situations are a part of life, but they don’t define who you are. Your choices do. Everyone faces hardship, but not everyone chooses to degrade themselves. There are women out there who have faced unimaginable adversity and still choose to work hard, stay clean, and earn an honest living.
I’ve seen women working multiple jobs, starting small businesses, learning new skills, and finding ways to make it work without compromising their self-respect. They understand that real success comes from effort, not shortcuts. They refuse to let their circumstances dictate their morality.
Prostitution isn’t a necessity; it’s a choice. A choice to take the easy way out instead of fighting through the storm. A choice to degrade oneself for temporary gain instead of building something lasting and respectable. It’s a choice that reflects a lack of self-worth and ambition.
We need to stop sugar-coating it. The moment you start making excuses for these actions, you’re undermining the efforts of countless women who bust their asses every day to make an honest living. You’re disrespecting those who have faced the same or worse and still kept their integrity intact.
If you’re a woman considering this path, think again. Look around you. There are examples of strength and perseverance everywhere. Women who have faced the same demons and emerged victorious without selling their souls. Be one of them. Choose to be better. Choose to fight. Choose to make your money with pride and dignity.
And men, don’t fall for the sob stories and excuses. Don’t let them manipulate you into thinking their choices are inevitable. Hold them to a higher standard. Respect the women who hustle honestly and make something of themselves despite the odds. They deserve your admiration, not the ones who take the easy, degrading way out.
Poverty, loss, hardship, and a bad economy are real challenges, but they’re not death sentences. They’re tests of character and resilience. How you respond to them defines who you are. Choose to rise above, not sink below. The choice is yours. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
