22221: Ti Jean: A woman's vagina as a capital good

The equivilant Kreyol slang word for "pussy" has the same meaning in
English as
"garden." The implied similarity between the little patch of space between
a
woman's legs and that outside her door is that both are  valuable: the
garden
is a source of products for sale, a vagina is used to attract support from
a
man.

More than one Haitian mother has advised her daughter:  "Never let a man
know
you enjoy sex, if they think we like it, they will expect it without
having to
do anything in return.

Things are not so different in the US. Even today, American women can be
coy,
and not always above using "la differance" to get what they want from a
man.
