My most recent foray into a video store left me feeling like I needed a bath. As I walked down the isles looking for an interesting or funny movie to watch on vacation, I alternated between feeling grossed out, curious, embarrassed, drawn, intrigued, shocked, tempted, horrified... I felt like I was in the wrong store. Surely this was more like a pornography shop, or a gift shop for some violent fringe group, not a good ole American movie lovers store. I know I live a sheltered life, away from most of current American culture, but it saddens me to see where our culture has gone and is going. Do we worship what is represented in the video stores?
NEWS FLASH
Real women do not look or act like the sex goddesses of the screen! Popular culture tells them they should, so they will be wanted. Women want to be valued and desired for who they really are, not for some fantasy idea. They come in all shapes and sizes and they have brains as well as bodies. Their brains went missing during and after the sexual revolution of the sixties. Reproductive freedom? Ha! Women pay for abortion with their bodies and their minds. Men have it better than ever. Now they can get sex without commitment. What do women get from the deal? Equal pay for equal work? Single moms raising kids single-handedly and working full-time to support them! It almost seems like...but, no it couldn't be... a male conspiracy.

The past couple of days I have felt the same way concerning the issues that you have commented on. I was left feeling sort of depressed. I began to wonder if I should even think too much about all of this. I was dating someone for over a year, and we broke up about a week ago. His comments were, " You don't perform so well , you're nice enough, I guess,I'm just not real happy, and I need to meet someone who can rule over their child with an iron fist."
After spending a summer with my son at a time where dad has contributed about 20.00 to his care in over two months, I had so many thoughts running through my brain when"Mr. brilliant" made his remarks, but I decided better not to spew out what I was really thinking about men in general at the moment, so instead I just said,"Sounds like you need to push on."
I just have to say, if you are a man and you wrote what you did, I am beyond impressed, and if you are a woman, well, you captured my thoughts for the week! Wow, well done!
Scams work only when people want to be scammed. Dale Evans didn't meet Roy Rogers in a cowboy bar. If women want men to be perfect gentlemen, then they had better learn how to be perfect ladies. Feminists and the sexual revolution have taught women to be embarassed at being lady-like. You have to get back to that to tame men.
I agee!
