system as protection.
A few years ago, Mr. KoB and I decided instead of date night, lets live it up with a vaca-stay at a nice hotel downtown. He made reservations in his name on his card, he got their first since he was coming from out of town and the airport was close by. I won't even go into what happened at the desk when I showed up but it is along the same line as the stereotyping decribed below. Well, neither of us had much cash on hand. I decide I'll go to my bank's ATM and let him relax. He hails a cab, tells the driver where I'm going, to wait for me and bring me back safely. That's about all the conversation I heard.
Got in the cab. I hadn't uttered a word or even completely settled in when cabbie asks, "Who was that? He gave me a generous tip." Oh, that's cool, I thought. Before I could even answer, "Hey, I got a joke for you." I swear to God, this man started telling a prostitute joke. Then another one and laughing like I was in on the joke somehow. I was clearly not laughing and actually scowling, that made it all the more funny to him, because you know us prostitutes can't take a joke and he knows what I'm all about, meeting some poor sap who's stupid enough to have me run to his bank and steal his money. Cabbie was going to let me have it.
When he started on the 3rd joke I asked him if he was sure he wanted to tell another because I obviously didn't find them funny. And, by the way, why are you telling hooker jokes. Do I look like one? Did my husband tell you I was one when he gave you the generous tip?
"Why didn't you stop me? Why did you let me go on like that?" So now it's my fault 
His perception is my fault. And the "deception" is also my fault.
I don't know one AA woman or woman from the diaspora who I'd consider promiscuous. I'm a freaking prude when I think about it in comparison to what I've seen on film. A Latina friend and I were talking about Holtzclaw/promiscuity and she's like, we get that all the time, we're fiery, insatiable, and that's all we want...*sigh*
But we're waiting for that sentencing that will say it all.
