Finally after what seemed to be a
break, after seeing women reach positions of importance in government, communications,
science and business, we seem to be spiraling back to the dark ages.
In the recent years the new
generation has been pushing women back to a time when we were just sex objects,
and homemakers, only now its worse. The
new generation only want to be seen as sex objects. They have no intention of being
homemakers. Their offerings are physical.
Perky breasts, shapely butts, flat abs, puffy lips, eyebrows “on fleek”, and
anything else that makes them look like a centerfold. Nothing of real substance or permanent, just
the visuals.
Rappers refer to them as “bitches
and hos” and incredibly enough they refer to each other, and themselves the
same way. They accept this as a compliment, or their reality. Pitbull sings about slapping their ass and
having them rub up against him, they love it and eat it up. Their clothes are revealing to show off all
their wares. There is no need for
anything on a mental level because “ain’t
nobody got time for dat”.
At what point did these young women
lose their self-respect? Where did the
situation take a turn for the worse?
Many of these women were raised by strong single moms who worked and
were the bread winners for their families.
In my opinion this loss of
self-respect is partially a product of what is presented to our society by
Hollywood. Hollywood has been at the
forefront of liberalism for a long time, if not always. New ideas, new concepts, any thoughts and
changes that need to be entertained are brought to us in our living rooms and
big screens over and over each night. I
refer to it as the brainwashing of America. There are positives and negatives
to this. I think the negatives outweigh
positives. I think we need to look
towards the ulterior motives for everything that is presented to us as a
society.
The glamorization of drug use was
brought to us by Hollywood through movies and shows like Scarface and Miami
Vice, among others. The oversexualization of women was presented to us through music videos showing young women shaking
everything while the rappers and hip hop artists felt them up in their videos
treating them like tasty treats to have at their beck and call.
Despite the ads on television
warning of the dangers of AIDS and the easy transmission of STDs, sexual
activity with multiple partners continued to be portrayed in a progressively
more graphic manner on television shows.
Sex became an open topic and the more you had, the better. All the progress made by strong, self-reliant
women is slowly disappearing, and again the upcoming generation is pushing
things back to square one.
