After reading about culture this week and some of the events that our going on in our media and behind the scenes; I am feeling rather frightened and disgusted. Yes, I am older and I know that sexuality is not a brand new issue but I had never given it much attention until now. More and younger women are using their bodies to sell themselves. Not in the sense of prostitution; though some may compare it to this, but more in the reality of what we see every day on our televisions or hear on our radios and in our music and please do not forget our video games and computers. The female body is rapidly becoming what sells anything; so why would a girl not expose herself for thirty seconds in hopes that she is the next one selling you that Corvette. Apparently, not many are too concerned about being used in this way and for some obscure reason they think it is giving us power. Yes sex gives us power over most male species but is this truly the power we want represented? The answer for me is NO; I would prefer we loosen our clothes a little, cover more skin and walk with our heads held high. We have come a long way and sex has not gotten us there, intelligence has. Yes be proud of your body but be prouder of your mind. If we do not change; we will become victims of our own crimes and at the end of the day, no man will take us seriously.
