Self-Respect

Feeling: contemplative
So Tonight, at church, the topic "Degrading Women" If you think about it, it happens all the time. Everywhere, it's become part of the media. Half-Naked women selling clothes, that they're not even wearing. I have an opinion, I just don't speak it, very often. Thinking about tonight, I feel I have not been respected as I should be. Boys degrade me, and take a great deal of advantage of me, not saying as in "sex" or whatever, but anything. I hope, I desereve more respect at least. A conversation with a close friend about "Degrading Women" (I am cursive starsss) Cursive starsss: like i've been thinking about things XDDMntalMdgitXDD: Ohh? XDDMntalMdgitXDD: And it wasn't good. XDDMntalMdgitXDD: >.< cursive starsss: the topic tonight was like degrading girls XDDMntalMdgitXDD: Thinking about what things? XDDMntalMdgitXDD: Oooh XDDMntalMdgitXDD: Good one. cursive starsss: so, like i'm thining, i've been degraded a lot. cursive starsss: like, i don't get the respect i deserve. and i think that is what has lowerd my self-esteem and self-respect. cursive starsss: i'm taken for granted a lot too XDDMntalMdgitXDD: I hope not by mean. :| XDDMntalMdgitXDD: *me cursive starsss: no, not at all XDDMntalMdgitXDD: Who does though? cursive starsss: you're amazing cursive starsss: like boys. XDDMntalMdgitXDD: Good. I'd like to think I treat everyone with respect, or I don't talk to them. cursive starsss: you treat me with great respect, i mean we joke around about sex, but i KNOW that that's not JUST why ou talk to me ya know. at least i hope not.. XDDMntalMdgitXDD: If that was why, you'd THINK I'd be going for someone closer to home. XDDMntalMdgitXDD: I mean, I'm not cocky, but if all I cared about was having sex, then I'd be well into that. XDDMntalMdgitXDD: I don't even like saying the word "fucking" when it's used to mean have sex. Because it makes it sound less special =| XDDMntalMdgitXDD: Notice I never call it that, either. cursive starsss: well, that makes me feel a little bit better. well actauly a lot. cursive starsss: i like talking to people who actually can define what i'm talking about. I love talking to people with just a TAD bit of intelligence, that actually know what i'm takling about, and have a logical anwser back. I think i'm beginning to gain a little more self-respect and self-confidence. I'm beginning to find who I really am, and how I really want to be treat/treat others. I don't think I do anything or flaunt anything that is degrading to women... Do I?

It is considered to be in perspective because it is in perspective. There are not set of rules or guidelines dictating what is right and wrong...

Emasculating, degrading, indecent, and crude to the opposite sex. it's a sad world of predjudice we live in. You know, morality is a beautiful thing.

It does things like, instill family value, defend victims of predjudice, and protect against all forms of negativity. too bad we live in a world where

It would be grand if there was.
Think about it:
Death penalty
Abortion
War
Homosexuality.
The list goes on and on. What one perceives clearly...

as right, there is the complete opposition!

Molestation of kids to NAMBLA
Racism to KKK and White Decency Society
And many, MANY other examples..

It's true that many people agree on what is right and wrong, nothing is black and white. It is all grey.
To me, it doesn't make it right.
Those...

who condone any kind of control over someone due to being in a superior position is wrong.

Which is all what your entry is about.
