Yes, this is why things like Slutwalks bother me. Also the underlying concept is irrational.
If these ladies are in a 12-Step, chances are there is some connection between the way they’ve managed their personal lives and whatever brought them to 12 Step, too. But at least they’re going to 12 Step and thats good.I’m pretty much a casualty of the sexual revolution. I never had an abortion but Ive done plenty of other stuff I’m not proud of. But now I’m in my fifties and have to make the best of life as it is. I would certainly advise young people not to do most of the things Ive done, but of course they don’t come to me for advice and I don’t blame them—I wouldn’t either. I was in my late 30s when a lot of this stuff dawned on me. Two books helped. One was Men and Marriage (sometimes called Sexual Suicide)by George Gilder. Every adult should read it. The other was The Rules by Ellen and Sherrie. Of course they came at it from a purely strategic place- -they weren’t telling women to delay gratification for moral reasons.
One of the disadvantages of having no children, stepchildren or grandchildren is the prospects for old age are grimmer. In my case since I have no siblings, I don’t have neices or nephews either. I know people who say “Well plenty of children don’t visit, don’t help, are abusive, etc.” But I think your odds are still better with children. This is is one of many reasons that the old ages of us baby boomers will be interesting, and not necessarily in a good way.
If young people , especially young women did ask me advice, I would say that one of the biggest places feminism went wrong is denying that men and women are different or should be different. The other is something clever I heard someplace-”They don’t make a condom for your heart.”
I really do agree; the thing is, that the entertainment industry has always been tarty, but it’s seeping into mainstream culture, via radical feminism. The minute actresses started using ‘female empowerment’ (Christina Aguilera started this I think), then it started to suck in the minds of kids who previously were entertained, but dismissive of entertainers.
Fans were fans, but they didn’t accept the values of the entertainer’s personal habits and lifestyle.
As for leaving decent men, these decent men are better off without these selfish women. The foolish women should have known gratitude (via knowing Christ) and I believe that these women didn’t think too much of their futures through. They stupidly thought that their lives would become more and more vivid and exciting without effort, but women who live glamorous lives rarely do it without working very hard and making a lot of sacrifices.
