So I both lived in and spent many years over the past 12 years in Sosua. Prostitution is the norm as are the hoards of dirty ass old white men who flock there.
Normally I am able to ignore it but why the post now?? Well because this past week I have been having breakfast in a small restaurant near Club Residential frequented by a number of old, perverted, American gringos.
Love the food in this restaurant but unfortunately the food comes at the sacrifice of overhearing their conversations. They come in together like they are so cool with their shades and 200 pesos for breakfast -- high 5'ing each other on their knowledge of the sex trade or the chica they had the night before.
Its quite nauseating as a young women to sit beside men who could be your uncle, or father or grandfather and hear there favorite DR past times - all that relate to objectifying women and treating them like dirt. Men who if you saw at home would appear normal and where you would have no clue just how gross they are inside.
They way that they talk about their escapades and speak of their chica's as almost non-human.
I don't care about all the sob stories of chicas that have taken advantage of foreigners.
What I want to know is why these men go to DR and behave in a way that would NEVER be socially acceptable in their own countries. The same behaviour in Canada or the US would be met with a slap or drink in the face or even a night in jail. If its not ok to behave like a disgusting pig in your own country - why go to DR and do it?
Because it is a 3rd world country and some women are uneducated or find themselves stopping to any lowly level to make money?
Its just so gross and so pathetic...
