I don't believe that because some women are selling their bodies or advertising their bodies, it makes all women fair game for violence or degradation. That type of thinking takes violence back to being OUR fault - she dressed too provocatively, she gave the wrong signals, she asked for it.... We'd have to adopt the chador to hide our bodies completely. Emancipation should give us the right to trot around naked if we want without somebody thinking it is an invitation. I look at the way tweens and teenagers dress to go to school now, and think, "they look like little hookers!" But that doesn't make them fair game. Years ago, you could turn a man on if you showed an ankle.<br />Choosing the wrong man isn't our fault. And once your self-esteem has been systematically chewed away, it can take something drastic to make us leave someone who has confused partnership with ownership. Those who have taken their lives back should be incredibly proud of their courage instead of beating themselves over the head for staying so long.<br />The best thing we can do is to teach our sons and daughters both self-respect and respect for others and that starts when they're young enough to take responsibility for their own actions. <br />This is kind of a disjointed comment and I apologise for its length.<br />SusanSusanna Originalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07158392727581242565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118514403475594574.post-34007359849898895612009-10-01T14:34:33.827-05:002009-10-01T14:34:33.827-05:00thanks.

( wish I had figured that one out before she grew up too far.... sigh) By God's grace and my mothers German determination, she got some semblence of right and wrong.cctexan3https://www.blogger.com/profile/04571939672199034096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118514403475594574.post-39288973590116494812009-10-01T11:36:46.007-05:002009-10-01T11:36:46.007-05:00You are a fantastic writer!

With so much of that in our entertainment, it's no wonder girls get so messed up.

You know, I listen to a radio station for the music in the AM but almost can't do it anymore because of the dj's and just how degrading they/the show has become. I turn it on one day and the dribble between songs has been "hottie of the week" and cleavage Friday and I guess I'm just old and ugly to be offended (would be the approach they take. Only old/fat/ugly chicks take offense. So not true!<br /><br />Even when I was "young" I'd stand up to slimy guys who'd leer or make comments - in retrospect I'm lucky they weren't actual violet crazy people or I could have gotten myself in trouble.<br /><br />Now,while other moms work at not having to work, I work on my career cause even though I have an AWESOME hubby I will never render myself unable to support myself, and do it well. I see to many who've given up careers to stay home then get divorced and barely make it.<br /><br />So hopefully my son, won't be one of the jerks. Hopefully having a strong woman as a mom who could show some cleavage but chooses not to will teach him to respect women. <br /><br />I cringe though at what society finds acceptable in prime time entertainment and on radio shows that are not satellite.<br /><br />Rant over.
