Pimpin' Ain't Easy

The article I am writing about is about pimpin lady’s and how is not good for America. The author has her opinions on why we should not do this and how it looks bad on women.

When women go out and say no we will not be seen in your videos half naked and won’t let you call us what ever you want to. Women making money... [continues]
