First, I would like to say that I am a woman. Also, I am over, well over 40 years old. Now you know a little about my perspective. I will be using broad generalizations and do know that there are some exceptions to these observations.
The problem with today's modern woman is that they do not need a man. It starts in puberty. Many are taught that virginity is a nuisance to be dispensed with as rapidly as possible so as to not hinder their future enjoyment of whatever their growing appetites may require. If they like men, and they are now being taught that it really is not necessary nor even practical that they have an inclination toward men, but if they do like them, they can have however many they require. Men are of value only as sperm donors and escorts, not necessarily in that order.
Today's modern woman is taught that to feel complete she need only have a fresh set of batteries and a good job. (That, also, not necessarily in that order.) We can thank "Womens Liberation" for much of that.
The suffragettes of the early 1900's actually did liberate women from very oppressive situations and work for the right to vote. That was a legitimate movement.
The bowel movement of the 1960's which was foisted upon a knowledgeable but naive American woman was nothing more than the freedom to go bra-less. Even that hollow victory has, over time, forced women to realize that gravity will prevail and a well-fitted bra is a necessity. The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's was the true movement and gave the greatest advantage to white women in the long run. Women were already firmly entrenched in the workforce, but it was white women who reaped the greatest immediate and lasting benefits. Due to their race they were already working in professional occupations that were still out of range for women of color. It took several years for women of color to catch uup in job placement and pay.
This meant that women who were already working in jobs that paid less than a man working at the same job received the immediate benefit of an increase in pay. That is a good thing. Anyone who works at any job and does the job well should be paid the same as anyone of any age, race or gender. It was common practice in the 1960's to give more pay to a man who was married and had children than to a single woman who had no children or even to a single mother who had children. The feeling was that as soon as the woman found a suitable man to take care of her, she would quit and stay home with the children. Many did just that. The frustration and hard feelings that accompanied being paid less than some slacker with equipment was sometimes quite hard to bear especially if you were the woman doing his work.
We are now more or less equal in pay and opportunities. That is true in some places more than in others. Gone are the days when a woman has to work under a male pseudonym in order to be recognized or to even get certain positions. In the legal sense they are gone, but there are still places where it goes on in a subtle manner that can be sometimes hard to prove or even noticed.
So what is our problem? I believe it is that we have discounted men and relegated them to the role of accessories. Men are not accessories. Men and women are different. Men crave something that this society or ours has taken from them. They want to be respected by the women they choose to love and spend their time with. They are visually attracted to various female attributes, but will learn to love the wrinkles, sags and gray hair that come with age.
By not needing a man we reduce ourselves to having meaningless flings with men. Ladies, it is a wonderful thing to truly need a man. My husband is needed by me. I respect his opinion and trust him to be honest regarding what I am wearing and what I am doing. I don't always agree with him. For goodness sake, I am not supposed to.
Young girls are taught to have sex with a man (or boy) for no good reason except that it might feel good. They have no really good reason to wait until marriage. They give themselves away piece by piece until they have nothing left to give and feel hollow inside. They wonder why and no one will tell them that they need to stop what they are doing and save what is left of themselves for that special someone, for marriage. They do not understand that their body is a temple not to be sacrificed for dinner and a movie or just because some walking hormone says, "if you love me, you will." They have no self-respect because they have not been taught to have any because it is not required to have indiscriminate sex. The more sexual partners you have, the less the act of sex means.
Ladies, I think we don't need men. We need a man who will treat us like we are a real princess. Someone who will love us and give us all he can. If that is what we want, how can we keep joining up with dirt-bags? The more we give away just for fun, the less we have to give to someone who will be true to us and try with all his might to give us the world. We deserve to wait for that right one to come along and we deserve to wait until we are married to share our gift with him. We really are special and until we act like it, that man never will.
That sounds like an old-fashioned idea. WELL!! Those new ideas sure don't work. So before you go jump in bed with that new one, think about it. What makes this one any different that the last one or the last few?
You ALL deserve better than selling yourself short like that. I won't even go into pregnancy and venereal disease or STD's as they call them now. It's just not worth it. Open your eyes and look at yourself. Do not keep selling out due to some stupid belief that you have to keep doing it just ... because.
