How some women in the media will dress in slutty clothes, pose seductively, and then claim it's for female empowerment (e.g., I recently heard the Pussycat Dolls saying how they were running a "fashion show" for female empowerment; the whole line-up consisted of skanky lingerie...).

You know what female empowerment is? Running for office, staging political movements, saving the environment or just contributing something worthwhile to society, in general. By being a positive role mode as a woman, you can act as an icon for females everywhere... and give further proof that women are capable of doing great things.

I think it's a bit sad that these women in the media are teaching our children that sexual freedom = empowerment. Sex doesn't equal empowerment, because empowerment leads to power. Sexual flaunting only leads to a loss of respect.

I see tons of "little girls" (I'm talking about highschool and college, I'm not a pedophile, lol) dressing in slutty clothes, not realizing that they're just hurting themselves. They don't seem to understand that when they dress like that, men don't see them anymore; they see their legs, their breasts... everything else but them. And the fact that many of them do this in a college environment, an arena of higher learning... a place to realize your full potential as a human being, makes this all the more depressing.

I'm not going to pretend that I'm so noble; I'm a guy, and I'm attracted by breasts, legs, and ass just like the next guy (hell, look at my BANNER!), but I can speak for all men when I say that attraction doesn't earn respect. If you're a girl reading this blog, go and ask any of your male friends. They all draw a distinct line between sexy, hot, short-term relationship girls and classy, wifey-material women. The thing is, I can't believe that girls aren't aware of this, so I find myself asking, "Does it make them happy to be viewed as nothing more than a 'good time'?"

Bleh, stupid blog.

Keep your children away from television. It's bad.
