Diary of the Undateable: Hoes and Housewives

As a student journalist, it’s important for me to keep up with the most important headlines. I glossed over this week’s political primaries and zoned in on something more groundbreaking: Snooki’s pregnancy. Will there really be a fist-bumping, hair humped bundle of joy in the next few months? And then my brain was completely fricasseed when I heard that Amber Rose, the bald biotch who broke my favorite rapper’s heart, is engaged to Wiz Khalifa. Is life real this week?

I just don’t get it. I’m really happy for them and everything and Imma let them finish, but I’m still very skeptical. I don’t think that the overhyped starlets will make good homemakers.

The late great Tupac once rapped that you “can’t turn a hoe into a housewife.” We all know what the term “hoe” means in the sexual sense. But Snooki and Amber are fame hoes. They’ll do damn near anything for the public’s attention – anything to keep us talking about them. If you really think about it, Snooki and Amber are famous for the stupidest reasons. They’re known for their former boyfriends and hookups, dancing, drinking, being bald, saying stupid stuff, wearing over-the-top couture and making tons of money for it all. How are they truly contributing to society?

I’m not being a hater, I promise. I just feel bad for the “regular” women out there who don’t want the fame and fortune – just families.

There are deserving women – ones who deserve to be admired – that probably read the blog headlines and thought “why them?” There are legions of girlfriends playing the dreadful engagement waiting game. They’re hoping for a promise that may never come. And what about the wives who are actually ready to be mothers? I don’t see Snooki giving up her 15 minutes of fame to finally act like an adult. It’s hard to fistpump and hold a baby at the same time. I don’t see Amber turning down a potential modeling gig or video cameo to spend a cozy night at home with hubby, either. But hey, what do I know?

If Snooki can procreate and Amber Rose can find love in a hopeless place, then there’s hope for us all. But I know that the wholesome deserve it more – not the hoes.

CollegeCandy, can you turn a hoe into a housewife?

    Although I also question the maturity of both of these women, I don't think it's fair to say that they do not deserve to be mothers simply because there are other women who want the same privellege. If they change their ways, which they might, they could turn into wonderful moms some day. There are celebrity "fame hores" who are great parents: Madonna, Angellina Jolie, etc.

    Unbelievable. I am extremely disappointed at this article. "Can you turn a hoe into a housewife"? That is not okay. Slut bashing on College Candy, seriously?

    You've got to be kidding… "the wholesome deserve it more"? Unbelievable. I've never been disgusted by an article on collegecandy before. Thanks for changing that.

    "I’m not being a hater, I promise." Um yeah, I'm pretty sure you are being a hater.

    What is up with this hating on other women??? Would you criticize the Situation if he got a girl pregnant and decided to settle down?? No! You would praise him for being responsible and staying with the mother. And how exactly do you know that Amber Rose broke Kanye West's heart?? Last I heard he cheated on her. And how exactly would you even have any clue as to what is going on in someone's private relationship??? These double standards are not fair for us, and would think that someone of your position would know better than to write trash like this!!!

    If you're going to write an article about "Turning a Hoe into a Housewife", you can take a bunch of routes. You could talk about taking someone who has multiple partners and being really sure that they can embrace monogamy; you can talk about the menshealth.com or askmen.com approach to "turning" a whorey/hoey girl into a wifeable girl, and satire it; or you can seriously be bitter. A woman who is sitting at home, clutching her pearls and waiting for a proposal probably isn't a CollegeCandy reader. WAY to send us back a few decades. Go Feminism.

    What is with this slut shaming? It's completely wrong for you to judge these women, who you don't know at all, based on who their sexual partners have been or how the media represents them. Mean girls said it best: "You all have got to stop calling each other sluts and whores. It just makes it okay for guys to call you sluts and whores". Stop with the slut shaming.

    I don't feel like the author is bashing anyone. Her point of view is refreshingly real and she's entitled to it. Political correctness is over rated.

    You ladies are so hypocritical. So Snooki bashing is wrong but blogger bashing is okay?
    And I highly doubt that you all really read it smh.

    And if you all kept up with the news, Snooki said that she wasn't planning on having a child HERSELF. Those words came from HER MOUTH. She actually referred to the kid as a "happy mistake."

    Once again, smh.

Tell us what you're thinking...
