This weekend I asked a random question.."If you had to be the opposite gender what would you look forward to the most?" ...I was thinking about how sometimes it would be nice to pee standing up. The guys proceeded to say they would never want to be a girl and even the other girls there where saying how there is nothing good to being female. WHAT!?!?
Have we all been so diluted by the media and our culture that we acutely think there is something bad about being a female? I sat and though about this...girls have more cutting names thrown at them then guys, women are seen as weak and inferior, and that we are one big emotionally charged, sobbing, out of control person.
Wow, don't you get it? Satan does. Women are so powerful yet we allow guys to call us things such as sluts, whores, and worse. Why do you think our culture is geared towards putting women down, abusing them, using them, and then walking away?
We have the privilege of protecting new life with in us (being pregnant), raising childen, and supporting our husbands and showing them love, which in turns perpetuates them to greater success. True we may be emotional sometimes...but so what? What is wrong with that? I like being able to cry and sound ridiculous sometimes. I sit with my friends upset and by the end we are crying from laughing. Too much of my life I bought the lie that it is better to be a guy then a girl, and I am sick of it!
Embrace being a girl, and if you are a guy affirm the girls in your life. When we put women down we are putting God down. He made us ALL (men AND women) in HIS IMAGE. We are all a piece of Him.
