If you've read my very first blog in 2010, you are aware of the disturbing and detrimental effects that our current generation of undisciplined, self-absorbed children are having on our civilization. To add to this horror is another disturbing trend that is further eating away at all that is right and enlightened. You see, our young women seem to be regressing in terms of the women's rights movement. So many generations fought so that women could be seen as equal in intellect, strength of will and body, workplace contribution, and in contribution to society in general. As well, women have strived to establish their own independence, free from dependence on a father or husband through their own hard work, determination, and self-respect. What do I see now? Young women in their twenties dressing like street-walking prostitutes (and not just when they are out on a Saturday night, but for school or work too!). What is it with the stripper heels? Seriously, I see these young women stumbling around like fools on these ridiculous platformed six-inch heels. Why? Don't give me that bullshit about them loving their heels (squeeling with delight like one of the ridiculous characters in those unrealistic "Sex and the City" movies). Please, they are pathetic fashion victims who are desperately trying to impress men by playing the role of some male porn fantasy. Have some self-esteem! Seriously, have some pride and dignity and dress how you feel comfortable, strong and confident. Don't get me wrong, I am no prude, and I am all for looking hot, we should all care enough about ourselves that we should strive to be healthy and as beautiful as nature intended us to be. However, the problem is that we are witnessing this extreme oversexualization of our young women. They seem to think that looking like a cheap hooker is o.k. It's not. It's degrading these young women and teaching them that they are just a sexual object with no power over their sexuality.

Now, here is where the real regression is occuring. I actually overhear young women talking about how they want a "sugar-daddy" (an older guy who is going to take care of them financially, usually in exchange for the pleasure of having them on his arm and of course, sex). Are you kidding me? Just ten years ago, when I was in my twenties, my friends and I would've been horrified by a girl doing this. We were so proud of the fact that we worked and could pay our own way, and buy our own things. Now, it's becoming socially acceptable to be an unashamed gold-digger? What is going on? Who is teaching these women that it isn't noble to work hard and make your own way in the world, but instead to try and weasel it off of others? One only needs to turn on the television and see these Reality shows that these young women are so happily watching. Just watching a few minutes of those bloody Kardashians is enough to turn an intelligent person's stomach. Seriously, they are a bunch of rich, spoiled, completely self-absorbed idiots whose main concern is whining over the fact that they couldn't get the manicure appointment at the exact time they wanted it. It is truly horrifying watching the mother pimp out these overly done-up, and disturbingly uneducated girls, to all kinds of materialistic promotions and photoshoots to make more and more millions. Now, don't get me wrong, I know that everyone has a right to make money, but what values are you promoting?With all of their money and privilege, why don't they do some good in the world? Open a school for girls, or some kind of charitable organization. Volunteer at a children's hospital, something, anything! Anything other than constantly shopping, doing their make-up, or fighting with each other over stupid, insignificant things. Seriously, in a country where people are losing their homes and children are going to sleep hungry, the American people still worship these self-important stupids? Sadly, it's not just the young women. I see women in their forties injecting their faces with fillers and poisons to look like their beloved celebrities. Really? Do you really want to look like those puffy, injected monsters on those rich, useless housewives reality shows. These women are scary! They look like lizards, some alien version of a human face with deformed lips and weirdly pulling tight skin on their faces. Do you really think this looks good? Why, because the plastic surgeon making thousands off of you told you he can make you look twenty? Just stop it. Stop it all. Stop watching these shows. Stop encouraging the stupidity and insanity. Please start teaching your daughters and nieces that this is not what a woman of dignity is. It is one who has dignity and self-respect, evident in the way she carries herself, speaks, and treats others around her, especially other women. If you are going around being catty and nasty to other women around you, you need to deal with whatever insecurities you have and get some self-esteem. The world is difficult enough for women. We need to see each other as sisters, and encourage each other to be strong and dignified, and appreciate the beauty within all of us universally. Teach your young women that they don't need to walk around like a porno-fantasy to be noticed. Girls (and ladies), get noticed through your good deeds, and through your confidence and independence. Thank you.

This royal wedding is ridiculous. The amount of money being spent on this wedding could feed the starving in Africa for five years!!! Seriously, in this day and age, in this economy with so many families suffering and struggling to get by, the world is happy to watch one over-priveleged family celebrate a ridiculously expensive wedding?? Royals are celebrated simply because they happen to be born into money (which throughout history came to Kings and Queens through wars spilling the blood of the commoner), and now we commoners are expected to "rejoice" over one of their family members getting married? Please! The only good person to ever come out of this ridiculousness was Lady Diana, who was actually concerned with helping the needy, cradling AIDS-infected infants in Africa, trying to bring attention to these areas of great suffering in the world. Of course the old bitch Queen Elizabeth didn't like her - she wasn't like the Queen - an oblivious snob living in a world of pompous privelege without a care in the world for those she could help so much with all her wealth and power. One can only hope that the son of Diana and his bride will be involved in ways to better the world, and help the suffering, instead of just thinking about what designer brand to wear to the next social event. God help us all.
