Female Soldiers in the "War on Women"

This should gain me a lot of followers. [sarcastic snort!]

I have come to the opinion that the largest enemy in this so-called war on women is other women. We have created a War on Women within ourselves. Think about it. We have 2-3 generations of young women who somehow believe that being an airhead makes them more attractive. They have been taught that a low cut blouse and a cute little confused laugh will open doors. At the same time, we have determined that any woman who is not brilliant in her field is bringing us down. A woman who is"just" a secretary, or "just" a stay-at-home mom is somehow less than a woman who has taken on "the man". We have placed such unreasonable expectations on ourselves.  We want brilliant children, a successful career, perfectly clean and decorated homes, to be president of every volunteer organization and to run a marathon every year. Even men are shaking their heads in disbelief.

Because we believe that we are equal to men we have forgotten how to be ladies. We allow filth and garbage into our minds and spew it out as if it were not the least bit detrimental. We have allowed immodest clothing to become the status quo. Then we seem surprised that men leer or when we aren't taken seriously. We look the other way when too much skin is shown and not because of embarrassment, but because of political correctness. On one hand we have embraced a culture that says, "don't judge. Let me do my own thing. Let me express myself." While at the exact same time we can be absolutely cruel with our back-stabbing criticism of any woman who  dares not to conform to the currently accepted fashion uniform. We tear each other down like vultures. This tearing down damages a woman's confidence and sense of self-worth which perpetuates the acceptance of abuse or unfairness.

We have emasculated men using every means possible: television, commercials, litigation, playing relationship games, etc. Now we wonder where all the "real" men have gone. We have assumed roles in marriage that we were never designed to hold. Then we are angry when men don't do their part. We accept the commonality of cohabitation instead of demanding that men respect us enough to make a  covenant before God or at the very least a legal commitment.

We encouraged women to fight for the right to selfishly end a healthy pregnancy and have given little regard to the physical, mental, or emotional damage such an act can cause.  We believe that no one should tell us what to do, but we don't think for ourselves or stay informed of current issues. We end up following the herd like sheep and then when we arrive at the edge of the cliff we look for someone else to blame.

I didn't really think it was true, but there is a raging war on women.  Unfortunately, the charge is being led by women.
