Back off!!

         
                          A greedy man (or woman) stirs up dissension, but he who trusts in the Lord will prosper.
                     Proverbs 28:25

                        Feminism. There are great things about it. Since those brave women stood for the right to be seen as people that have a say, many a good door has been opened since. We can vote, work outside the home, go to school and college and get the same education as men. We're so much better off for what those women have done. Or...are we?

                                 I can do as I please!  

                       There was once a beautiful sunflower. It was a magnificent flower. This flower sat atop a hill, watching animals and birds throughout the day. Soaking in the sun,  it grew in strength. It loved to share it's bounty with the birds as they came for food for themselves and their young. Then...the bugs came. They didn't care what this sunflower was or who it was. They simply wanted what they thought they deserved. The sunflower saw the bugs but paid no heed. "Alas, why would they harm a magnificent flower like me?" To its ignorance and pride, the sunflower did not know it was exactly what the invaders came for.

                    Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.
                                                                                                              Genesis 3:16

                 That flower can represent many people. It can represent the pride within us. And the greed within us all.  But this story represents the pride of men and the greed of women. Now don't forget, I'm as much a full blooded women as the next. But what terrifies me is we are killing our men mentally and spiritually. Have you ever wondered why men seem to be becoming more passive now? Why are men acting more feminine?  Is it just the way things are because this culture is changing? Yeah, this culture is changing, but do you want to fall down with it?  

                I truly believe that those men (in the past) saw women as just creatures of pleasure, heir producing instruments. They were pieces of art work to show off. They were absolutely wrong for that.  These men were power hungry, wanting more money, women and things. Now, the tables have turned. A lot of women see men as sex objects that they can use and dispose of when they want. We reveal our gems. showing off our own bodies at such an extreme degree. We are becoming power hungry, wanting more money and things. We as women are absolutely wrong for this! We are reversing the roles and becoming those very men we dislike or hate. What's worse is women are stooping to such a low place as to use our bodies as a tool over men to gain our status at work or to show that we are faithful to our man. 

              Really?! Ladies we need to back off and stop trying to be like men. Yes, we are equal as human beings, but we have special and unique roles as men and women. Roles to be filled with pride and honor. 

        Where are you women of Noble Character. Where are you men of Honor? I know there are still people out there who are like the honorable men and women of old.
