This potshot at men is for the surprisingly (or seemingly) high amount of men that treat women as nothing more than property or a piece of meat.
You've all seen this happen. Just turn into your typical episode of Maury or Jerry Springer to see it in action. This is especially obvious when two men are fighting for the affection of the same woman.
It does not even have to be reduced to the lowest-common-denominator types that are on those shows. Listen to how high school boys talk about girls a lot of the time. Listen to a lot of the most popular music that is currently availiable. The goal for many of these men is to be seen as some kind of glorified pimp, even if they don't know what an actual pimp is.
Sorry, guys. You will not be the pimp that you dream to be.
The strangest thing happens not long from the start of such a relationship. The man will start to complain that the woman he is seeing isn't respecting him enough and he will search for solutions to the problem.
What am I missing here? Hmm...guy wants to be a glorified pimp and treats the woman as an underling...the woman doesn't respect him now...oh God, what could it be?
Which brings me to my next point....
Why are there so many women that seem to go along with this? They will complain that they need to do something to get the man to respect them more...and most of the things they come up with only make things worse.
Listen, if this is some kind of kinky game a couple plays during their play time, fine. However, there looks to be a culture that focuses on being "the pimp" 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 364 days a year (Flag Day is an off day, even pimps need a break sometime). Maybe such an attitude will get you the person of your desire, but that will last only briefly. Cutting out this behavior can only be a good thing.
Besides, nobody else wants to look at you trying to walk around as a master pimp.
