What have we lost in our fight to gain... written by Meorah Solar,
August 14, 2007
In the 70s women thought that all they were burning were their bras, but the twisting of the feminist movement has destroyed a lot more than a constrictive piece of clothing (I love my bra though...LOL).
Women were taught to turn away from anything in society that felt like a restriction and the extreme turn that this took in the lives of women have made us captured by our own mind, our own choices and our own self perceptions. If a man wanted to sleep with us after the 70s and we didn't want to we were encouraged to chalk it up to society's effect on us and not self worth and value and we began to say yes to things our soul was crying no to... no... no ..... no..............
In many ways, so many of us are Constances. Constance was forced into her situation, which is different than most young ladies (although it is still disgustingly common). We are taken into a place with a man or men and expected to give something to him that will cause us loss and cause the man what at first seems as a gain (I believe men end up just as deeply void as well). Some of us have become emotional prostitutes... We so long for a man to say we're priceless, the one, funny, special, unique, different from the other girls, and that we're loved that we trade a piece of clothes, a kiss, a fondle, a night where we're a little drunk, a standard, a boundary, a part of our bodies... and then all of it. We trade in search of ourselves and our worth.
Men, women, the value of a woman whether she be a prostitute or a lawyer, a mother or a step-daughter is not found between her legs, although some of us are convinced that it can be. The way we treat ourselves, our cravings, our lovers, and our sisters (all women in the general population) continually either adds to the objectification of women or challenges the objectification of women. There is no middle ground.
Let's begin to see ourselves through forgiving eyes. Let's begin to see through our desires and into the basic rights of humans. Let's begin to realize that for every hooker and stripper there is a story. Let's begin to realize that every John needs serious help that he deserves to have. Let's challenge ourselves and live outward from those changes. Action is the only way to show women the treasures they are.

This video allows us to see the trap of "one click" for a man. It poisons his heart and his marriage, not to mention the guilt and filth of lust. It brings tears to my eyes for the countless girls sold and raped. I pray they do fall into Jesus' arms to heal them because He knows everthing and He alone can heal. God bless, Mr.J, what an eye opening video!
