Adventures in The Patriarchy™: ‘You Get What You Pay For’

Chronicling the ongoing intersectional struggle to liberate women — inclusively defined as the legacy kind and the transgenders — from The Patriarchy™, one microaggression at a time.

‘You always get what you pay for’

In some ways, you have to respect this human Barbie doll for her total lack of pretense:

"If your man complains that you're expensive just tell him that there are other girls out there in different price ranges and you always get what you pay for."

Usually, with gold-diggers, you get a lot of around-the-bush-beating; all parties involved know the name of the game is pay-to-play for sex and a trophy to show off as a status symbol, but precious few of the trophies are willing to acknowledge that they are essentially glorified prostitutes who are too pretty — have too many teeth and too few drug habits — for street-walking, which is generally a much more honest niche of the broader prostitution industry.

Laurels for forthrightness notwithstanding — and let’s try to be supportive as I climb up on my soapbox — treating sexual intimacy as an economic commodity to be bartered with doesn’t really seem like a recipe for a functional long-term relationship.

Yet, year after year, brides get ordered from Uzbekistan or wherever, prenups get signed, the parties to the economic arrangement barter over terms, wary relatives warn their loved ones that they’re entering into a disaster waiting to happen, red flags are ignored, messy divorces ensue, and the cycle of melodrama repeats itself ad nauseam.

Woe to the human condition!

AWFL tourist aggressively harassed streetside in Sri Lanka, does progressive talking points as she flees

A brief summary of events:

  • AWFL tourist, apparently some kind of influencer and great appreciator of Diversity™, is filming herself exploring the Sri Lankan countryside.
  • A motorist follows her for several minutes.
  • She stops.
  • He approaches her and makes small-talk before pulling his genitalia out, eliminating all doubt about his intentions.
  • She flees, explaining to the camera while speeding off that “Sri Lanka is such a beautiful place with really kind people” and essentially writing the event off as an aberration so as not to create the impression that what just happened is in any way representative of the country as a whole.

Granted, Sri Lanka does seem like a beautiful place from what I can gather, having never been there, and it’s probably true that the majority of the people there are kind and don’t generally expose themselves to lady motorists on the side of the road.

But let’s try a thought experiment: this same girl is driving herself around the British countryside when a drunken lad from the local pub approaches her and exposes himself.

Would she then explain to the camera, while fleeing to safety, that “Great Britain is such a wonderful place with kind people,” or would she write a 1,000-word article for Teen Vogue or whatever rag about how The Patriarchy™ had struck again and evil privileged white men have to be made to pay for their misogyny they exercise against the women of the world?

That’s what we call a rhetorical question; we all know the answer, which is that how she would approach the two situations is entirely dependent on the ethnicity of the perpetrator, as she’s been taught to hold her own race and nationality in contempt while extending every benefit of the doubt to all the others of the world.
