Lately I have been studying
the media, reading articles,
watching news, and looking
for anything that I can find
to make me feel that there
is still hope for our world. If
you have read any of my
past articles, then you will
already know where my
concerns lie.
For those of you that are
just reading me for the first
time, my concerns are
strong regarding women of
today and their search for
the true identity of
themselves.
Women today have fierce
competition. I have spoken
to many men also and they
have strongly let me know
that they would not trade
their gender for any amount
of money. They actually feel
sorry for the women of
today. A few of them even
shared with me that they
hate the fact that
everywhere they look, the
media's idea of, "The Perfect
Women" is stuck in their
faces. Sure its nice to see,
any human being will
appreciate a nice looking
picture. What happens at
that very minute though is
that they (the men) are put
in a situation of feeling that
they are betraying their
partner by not knowing
exactly how to react. I
know, I know, some of you
are thinking that it is the
women's fault that the men
think that way. I will agree
in some cases, but these
men that I have spoken to
were being quite genuine in
the fact that they themselves
did not appreciate it.
I will be the first one to say
yes to prostitution. Why?
Because it keeps the damn
rapists of the streets from
attacking the unwilling
women. I say yes to
pornography; it keeps the
men that are afraid to
approach real women
relieved of a very needed
natural release. I also say
yes to alcohol and to
chocolate with ice cream,
but my dear readers, before
you frown on me for what I
just said, hear me say this.
"I do not condone the
force and uncontrolled
manor with which the media
shoves all this down our
throats. I thought this was a
free country. When did we
lose the right to choose
whether we want to have
the media's idea of, "The
Perfect Woman", shoved
down our throats every time
we turn on the television,
walk into a bar, just drive
down the road (billboards),
open a magazine, listen to a
song, or even simply look in
our teenagers room."
I was reading an article that
was advertising the new
television line ups for this
falls season. I was horrified
when I read about the
graphic violence being used
against women. Episodes
showing a woman thrashing
in a cage, with duct tape
across her eyes, while a
man's hands are shown
grabbing her bloodied
fingers through the bars of
the cage and ripping off her
fingernails. Another is
chained up like a dog in a
basement by her so called
loving husband. It gets
worse; there is also one
with a woman paralyzed by
venomous spider bites and
is being raped by a masked
figure. These are what
society is allowing for after
dinner viewing. I am
embarrassed to even say
that this is my world seeing
this. They made more noise
when Janet Jackson slipped
a peak of her nipple at a
damn football game. In a
word...SAD!! The media has
definitely figured out how to
make money at every
woman's expense. On a
much happier note, "Cheers
Dove" is all I can say. Dove
is pushing hard and
continuing an uphill climb to
bring back what was put on
this earth as, The Real
Women.
