The following post is going around Christian/homeschool circles on facebook;
Maybe I took the wrong thing from her message, but somehow her apologizing to men for all the naked models and immodesty in today's society frustrated me and I couldn't help thinking, what about the women and girls who are falling for these things, dressing in the most revealing outfits possible, starving themselves and loading their faces with makeup just to be pretty and to get a guys attention, because the images that men are looking at and comparing us to are unrealistic! Men are not the only ones who suffer from all the ads on TV and all over shopping malls, or in magazines. Women suffer just as much.
Maybe we as women should cover up and protect our men, but what happened to men being men and protecting women? Being the strong ones, the ones who say, 'You are beautiful regardless of makeup or how much skin you're showing! You are beautiful because your heart is beautiful and you don't need to whore yourself or cover up your beauty, or sleep with every boy to prove yourself?'
I'd like to see men step up and start being the men that God intended them to be; leaders. God created women the 'weaker vessel' and yet it seems so often we have to be the strong ones protecting men. Something is wrong with this picture!
I am in NO WAY excusing the slutty behavior and dress of so many of us women today. Only questioning the fairness of laying all the blame on them.
