Dealing with a pimp carries greater risk..... They are ruthless. They do not have the same sense of accountability or vested interest in this community that we independents do... Feeling sorry for a young lady as she makes her way through the learning process in the different stages of her life is one thing... risking your own ass by directly associating with her (and her pimp) during the process is quite another.
I've dealt with husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, agency owners, clients
and providers who are also "ruthless" and have no sense of accountability. Pimps definitely do not own the podium in that department, and in fact I see way more nutjob providers than I do pimps, clients, and boyfriends put together. Not saying they aren't out there..... they just aren't as common (in MY experience).
My point is we only rarely know who is dealing with an idiot in her personal life, and as we've found out in this thread it's very easy to jump to conclusions and point fingers at the wrong people.
I agree that if a provider is associating with a complete idiot who is creating problems in the community, I don't want anything to do with her, and neither should you. The label doesn't matter, any more than the sex or race of the person matters. However, I don't think that waging a war against that person (and everyone who
might be affiliated with that person) is the best way to handle it. This is my opinion only though.
There are some "good' pimps, just as there are many "good" clients, and "good" husbands. You never hear about them.... because they are much more discreet. Do I agree with their lifestyle? At this point in my life, no I don't. I also know that pimps, like hos, mature and change with time. I know a few old pimps who are currently doing quite well in the real world with a real job, often with their bottom girl.... all squared up. There are a LOT of things that go on in this industry that i don't personally agree with, but I don't take it upon myself to start a war over it.
I delete/ignore whatever disgusts or offends me, and separate myself from anyone who appears to a problem in the community. If there is a provider who has a pimp, who has never caused anyone the least bit of trouble, it's none of my concern. Their lives to live.
Always,
