How pimps control a girl's social world

129

Transcription:

The pimp controls the social world of the female prostitute. She’s only allowed to have contact with four different people, and he controls her perceptions of those people. One is the customer, who represents everybody who has sexually abused her in her life. He’s not to be trusted. He’s not considered human. He deserves to be cheated and manipulated and maybe even hurt. The others are prostitutes, who are girls who compete with you for the pimp’s attention, and oftentimes they should not be trusted. Thirdly, there’s pimps, other pimps. And if you make eye contact with a pimp, then that’s considered cheating, and you owe him money. Often it’s referred to as “reckless eyeballing”. And the last character is the police officer, the cop who can take away your freedom and take away the love of your life by putting him in prison if you cooperate with him. Aside from that, the prostitute, once she’s working as a prostitute, sees everybody in one of those four roles. Consequently, there’s no escape from prostitution.
