First Post: Get a Little Taste of What You'll be Reading by Me :-)
There's a ridiculous double standard in this world. A man can sleep with over 100 women and no one bats an eye. A woman sleeps with eight men and she's considered a slut. Stories like this are heard every day and, regardless of the obstacles our society has overcome, this is still a problem. We're supposed to look sexual, but not actually be sexual. We're supposed to know all the tricks in bed for our current lover, but we better not have learned them with a previous lover. We're allowed to enjoy sex, but not too much. And, isn't that word the biggest problem: allowed. Allowed to do this or that as dictated by whom?! The only person a woman should listen to in regards to her own body is herself. But, heaven forbid, a man, who claims to care about her, finds out about any of the decisions she made for herself with someone else. It's sickening to get called names like whore or slut by someone who says they love you. To be degraded by someone who tells you they love you every single night, is easily one of the worst feelings in the world. How can a man have so much impact on a woman's self-esteem to the point where she feels hard to love? Yet, he goes off with his friends and tells stories of his previous indiscretions like we're supposed to think it’s cute. And, he says things like "well I just wasn't ready for a relationship" and "I just hadn't met you yet" and "you tamed me! You should be happy!" I tamed you?? What are you a dog!? We, as women, are supposed to be proud we locked down a man after he bounced around from woman to woman night after night. But, what if we weren't ready for a relationship a few years ago? What if we feel like we hadn't met the one yet? Or, we just wanted to have some fun and see what was out there? No no no. You better not do that. You better not date around and sleep with the occasional fun guy. You better not go out with your friends and go home with the hot guy that's been buying you martinis all night. How shameful of you to want to feel good for little while! You'll never get married. Your life is over. You're going to be a cat lady. We tell ourselves this like it’s a fucking joke! "Well I'll just be by myself. Get a few cats and drink lots of wine." And we giggle with our friends like its ok that we literally really feel that way!
