Where has respect gone?
Yesterday I was thinking about why there is so much pressure for girls to be perfect. Thin, pretty, non existing-robot perfect. This kills me because the beauty inside everyone is being cheated. I believe a lot of this has to do with societies opinion on beauty but I also think a big part is the way men treat women. Granted, not all guys are the same way but there are to many disrespectful men. Where has the respect gone? I feel with all of this derogatory "make me a sandwich" Shiz , it shows that the decent men have decreased in number drastically. I hope that when a guy thinks about a girl, he thinks about his own future daughter and how he wants guys to treat her. It's not cool to treat women like a prize. Like the only way to be beautiful is if your thin and perfect. Guess what, there isn't a perfect woman. Do personalities even matter anymore? Woman of this day and age are amazing. It just doesn't matter what size you are or how perfect your face is. Real beauty is kind, loving caring people. Be whoever you want to be and know that your perfect how you are

I'm taking a class at UVU and this guy came in to talk about women and men and gender differences and expectations and everything. It was interesting. But there was this moment where he said, "No offense, but look around the room here. Where are the models? There aren't any. We're all just common." Ouch. It made me really uncomfortable, but I know what he was trying to say. But he still made us all feel ugly.
ReplyDeleteBut he was right.
It also makes me think about the Pretty poem by Jewell in the poetry book.

I actually just was thinking of this the other day... I think I am literally going to go crazy if my son treats girls like this or my daughter is treated like this by someone's son. I'll punch him so hard he'll cry and run home to his abused mother.
ReplyDeleteI like this. I wish more people thought this way. My favorite line is,"I hope that when a guy thinks about a girl, he thinks about his own future daughter and how he wants guys to treat her."
