Actually, sadly, I feel it’s the lack of respect that men have for women in the FIRST place that has CAUSED this kind of behavior. When women were brought into the workforce during the wars it was insane. When women realized that the ONLY way to make it in a world run by men is to use their sex… it’s been nothing but a downhill battle. Had men treated women with respect in the FIRST PLACE… PAYING them equal wages for EQUAL work. We would not be in the place we are today. Women should not have had to fight the way they did to vote. (in the same way that black people should not have had to fight for their freedom) MEN have allowed the disgrace of women to happen IMO. Women ARE survivors.
I have to disagree here. This is a victimization mindset, which tries to justify wrongs because of wrongs. The victimization mindset is a very dysfunctional one. Many marriages have been torn about because of this mindset because it causes women to become emboldened and bitter. It is harmful. Some women even kill their husbands because of this mindset, like that evil wife who murdered her husband who was a pastor. Respect is a synergistic issue. ANYONE can be a victim of something. It seems your saying that men caused women to sexualize themselves for money. This is not true. Prostitution is one of the oldest professions. Some did, because they used sex as a weapon to influence decisions in men. As a form of temptation, knowing that humans are weak and easily led into temptation. This is inexcusable and the woman is just as culpable, if not more, since she is playing the role as a tempter for personal gain and using lust as a tool for person gain. The bible is very clear about women who try to use lust and sex for personal gain. And how such a woman is bitter than wormwood, and that sinful men will become entangled by her.
*I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner she will ensnare. - Ecclesiastes 7:26
For the lips of an immoral woman are as sweet as honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil. But in the end she is as bitter as poison, as dangerous as a double-edged sword. - Proverbs 5:4*
*“The whoredom of a woman may be known in her haughty looks and eyelids. If thy daughter be shameless, keep her in straitly, lest she abuse herself through overmuch liberty.” (Eccles. 26:9-10)
“A silent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord: and there is nothing so much worth as a mind well instructed. A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued.” (Eccles. 26:14-15)
“A shameless woman shall be counted as a dog; but she that is shamefaced will fear the Lord.” (Eccles.26:25)
“For from garments cometh a moth, and from women wickedness. Better is the churlishness of a man than a courteous woman, a woman, I say, which bringeth shame and reproach.” (Eccles. 42:13-14)
*
*“Give me any plague, but the plague of the heart: and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman.” (Eccles. 25:13)
“Of the woman came the beginning of sin, and through her we all die.” (Eccles. 25:22)*
as we can see. The bible very much so condemns women use try to use sex and lust as a form of temptation…Hence it is no excuse.
This happened since the beginning of time, when Eve tempted Adam to take part of the fruit. And since Eve tempted Adam to take part of the fruit, Adam was thus put in authority over her, since Eve was more easily lead to temptation(since Satan went to her first) and to tempt others(her husband Adam). Genesis 3:16.
I don’t know if you have heard of the bra-burner revolution. But this is what started the sexualization of women. They tried to use sexuality to “liberate” themselves from the traditional roles of chastity, modesty, and humility. This in turn effected the role of motherhood, since feminists view it as an “oppressive” institution to them. One way they could attack motherhood and marriage was through abortion. And so they did. Then they pressured in no-fault divorce to be legalized. And since them marriage has been crumbling horribly.
We do have maternal instincts. And we WILL take care of our babies. But when you make us fight to do it… Then step off. You reap what you sow. In the same way if you send a man into war, he will not return the gentle soul. He will have seen things he should not have. He will KNOW and have experienced horrors that most won’t ever know. He may battle anger, guilt, and dread. He is now a bi product, usually of some man’s attempt at getting all to submit to him. But the soldier now knows how to get along in a world that would otherwise like him to just go be a daddy.
but that’s the problem. There are many women who are NOT taking care of their babies, and are instead killing them. You will notice that there is a great decline in young women wanting children. More and more women do not want children. And more and more women are clueless about motherhood because feminism is throwing out the concept of motherhood. Thus young women are clueless about how to take care of children. Instead of mothers taking care of their children its the baby care centers, the relatives, grandparents, or the babysitters. The concept of motherhood is barely existent. And thus, when you have young women growing up in this sort of society, they themselves will become clueless on having good traits in motherhood, marriage, homemaking. Now almost 1 out of 2 people divorce. And because society has such a pesseimitic view of children and motherhood, young women who get pregnant are more inclined to abort their children because their maternal instinct and femininity has been pounded out of them by feminists and dysfunctional roles in marriage.
