The hoards of women who have had their nude pictures and videos leaked online is testament enough to that. When I see other women identifying as hoes, I recognize allyship in the form of acceptance and relativity. Hoeism has acted as a catalyst to, and at other times strengthened the foundation of, many of my closest friendships. Under a cloak of societal shame and stigma, many women of color have used their friendship networks to reflect, theorize, and celebrate their sexuality.
Young women of color are publicly and unapologetically claiming that: yes, sex is a part of our lives — and not always within the respectable romance scripts that have been imposed on us by patriarchy, respectability politics, and fuckboys. That is and has always been an integral part of my identity as a feminist and as a woman.
So I would have to agree: hoe is life. Header image via. It is used with a drawing action: Chop into the soil, then pull or draw the head toward yourself and break up clods into the furrow. One tool, many uses. The large, curved blade makes moving soil easy, so you can cover a large area in a short time.
The sharp point on the right makes it handy for weeding in those tough places like sidewalk cracks or between plants. We like it because it made deep, even furrows in our vegetable garden in one pass. Just a quick cut under the roots can eliminate many weeds. Scuffle hoes, like those pictured above, suit that need perfectly — they skim under the surface of the soil no more than a couple of inches.
They are superb at shearing off small weeds in soft soil, so you can make the job go quickly and easily by using them frequently and before weeds get large. Used with a push-pull action that can slice off weeds in both directions, they come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from a diamond-, triangle- or circle-shaped blade that only stirs soil in a small area to stirrup hoes and swoes that can take a wider swath of weeds out with one motion.
Scuffle hoes usually have a small angle between the head and the handle 20 to 30 degrees , which facilitates the horizontal push and pull. Scuffle hoes with enclosed-bladed heads, like the circle hoe above, can be used close to mature plants without fear of shearing off foliage — the sides keep you from accidentally chopping off a treasured plant or seedling.
The swoe in the photo above can slide under weeds that form rhizomes or runners, like creeping Charlie, to uproot the mass, then you can pick it up, shake off the soil and remove the plant, roots and all. A pointed tip on this wedge-shaped head can make furrows or slip into pavement cracks to flick out weeds.
The stirrup hoe's head is loosely held to the handle or even hinged to allow cultivating in either direction. A warren hoe makes planting seeds a breeze. Its head is usually on a degree angle. The pointed end digs a neat furrow in tilled soil, perfect to plant seeds in rows. Those pointed tines can also be used to cultivate smaller areas with a chopping and pulling motion.
