When “Hot Pussy” is a Compliment
It’s a strange thing: A term that is considered degrading, sexist or racist may suddenly become something good. As long as it’s being used by the victim. This time it’s “hot pussy”. When a man calls a woman “hot pussy,” it’s a sexist remark. But if women start using it, it’s empowering.
Tap “hot pussy” into a search engine and you pretty much get what you expect — hardcore porn. “Hot pussy” is also the term Channel 10 is using to advertise its new reality TV program, Pussycat Dolls Presents: The Search for the Next Doll. The show chronicles the talent quest to fill a vacancy in the popular girl group whose main claim to fame is off-the-chart sexiness. Nothing wrong with that.
