An Average Joe on the Foreplay of Wordplay

Average Joe for International Athletes’ Abolition Mission

Consider the foreplay of wordplay.  Let’s face it, “average” isn’t great, right?  I know you’re thinking “riiight.” (*slowly nodding head and maybe winking) How do I know?  Because this Joe of average personhood put two words together and made an assumption about where your mind went, about how you think.  Chances are I’m right.

I would’ve gone there too.  I’m an average Joe.  I’m o.k. with it,  I’m an average guy and my name is Joe.

Here’s one thing I’m not o.k. with: being taken for a ride.

Most men are like me.  We don’t like playing games (other than sports and things appropriately classified as such) and we certainly don’t appreciate being toyed with.  Even so, we’ve allowed ourselves to be seduced by the foreplay of wordplay.  The commercial sex industry has woven its way into the vernacular of a society where individuals willingly participate in its marketing.

In the foreplay of wordplay those in the world wishing to further a particular agenda are getting us primed and ready.  Once we’re there, they’ve got us.  Once they have us, they profit.  Once they have society, they’re in control and they profit more!  In this manner the industry uses us against ourselves, only we’re to into it to back out.

Some of us just don’t stop to think about what we’re doing.  It all sounds so enticing; “sex work” is something good and empowering for women (especially in third world countries).  Once respectable, a “Gentlemen’s Club” is not necessarily a place where the civilized, honorable xy chromosomed meet up.  Illegal pornography gains acceptability as “adult films” being classified into genres, and so forth.  In addition to word choices there are also seemingly complete messages we hear and perpetuate, eventually accepting a foregone conclusion of where all of it will lead.

When we allow the contrived messages of an industry (that preys upon individuals for the purpose of exploitation) to misrepresent the truth it’s like we’ve taken our brains out and set them on the nightstand.  The wordplay is enticing!  Especially as we seek to justify our own behavior.  Us average Joes and you Josephines are being taken for a (joy) ride – driven loopey for profit.

I don’t know about you, but I’m not interested.  I’ll be #Thinking4Myself*, thank you.  I may be Average Joe but I’m choosing to be better. (And it feels great!)
