Boys

Sometimes I think boys have all the luck. They get to use words such as dangerous and wild to describe themselves. These things are not perceived as bad but as a passage from boy to manhood. But as a girl I also crave adventure and feeling wild. But these words do me no good in being described as such. The negative connotations that follow women around break my heart. Girls have been oppressed by the fear of a scarlet letter. We are the ones to whom people look down if there is any signs of being pregnant outside of marriage.

But what about guys? They get off with no one ever really knowing. "Well, boys will be boys" might be said and others might have a few words. But women are in bondage at lest 9 months in silent whispers, disapproving looks, and the cold indifference of most people. (not excluding Christians sadly)

I am not bashing boys or saying that this is there fault, but they certainly don't run around trying to help wipe clear the smugged name of the girls in their life. I wish that I could be free of the bondages of this world enough to live wildly and be scandalous (in a good way).

Guys help your female friends and family members feel pride in being a woman. Uplift her and protect her. Help her realize everything she can be. Let not the oppress of this world turn her into a broken, defiled, and hurting person.

I'm stepping off my soap box now...
