Respecting Women and Women Respecting Themselves

If there is one thing that I have noticed in today's world , it is that women are portrayed as fair game for sexual misadventures and are especially depicted as such in the media . Flick through nearly any channel , and it will show girls dressing too sexy or scantily clad in order to gain the attention of men , often times sacrificing personal beliefs and being put in uncomfortable and innapropriate situations . Yet , sadly , the influence these girls in the media are giving out is a demeaning one that teaches women and young girls alike that it is ok to sacrifice how comfortable you are to gain the attention of men , the jelousy of other girls , and to feel "sexy" .

When asked , most girls would say that it is important to feel sexy , some would even say it is ok to sacrifice being comfortable if the gain was "feeling better about your body" . But if we are being honest , this sacrifice can be very damamging to many girls' self esteem and cause them to lose so much self respect . Now , for just a moment , imagine how most girls struggling with their self esteem issues already , feel . They do not feel pretty or beautiful or special . Then suddenly , the magic trick to instant attention and adoration appears : tou can dress sexily and be promiscous .

But why , ones has to ask , is this so important to girls and women everywhere ? Why would they need the attention of others to feel pretty ? That's just it : they need others to surround them and tell them that they're beautiful and to affirm them . Yet , most girls don't know how to achieve this affirmation by themselves , so they look in the wrong plces for affirmation that they are , in fact , pretty . Although , once they turn to promiscuity and too sexy clothes , it can actually make them feel worse about themselves and soon others will also begin to treat them poorly . This promiscuity and trashy dress will NOT give these grls and women the attention they want and need .

If women do truly aim to find this respect , they first must respect themselves . Have personal values that you believe in and can uphold . Don't dress or act in ways that you think will win you attention . Don't be promiscuous because you think you can earn someone's love or respect that way , because you cannot . Dress in a classy way that shows your body , be polite and kind to others . Instead of being promiscuous , show you have class and have only one oerson that you love and that you truly know loves you . If you respect yourself , others will respect you .

To any boys or men reading this article , it is time for a lesson on respecting women . Women are sensitive creatures with emotions and feelings just like you . You don't like being used , so don't use them! Playing games with a woman is down right rude and twisted and you will never achieve anything by hurting her . If you do the unthinkable and HIT a WOMAN , you are disrespecting her in one of the worst possible ways . How can you possibly expect her to respect you , if you do not respect her ? Women are not just there fo your sexual overtures , women want to be loved and appreciated , not come on to by someone ignorant to their feelings .

The point is , mutual respect is important . Women need to respect others and themselves before they gain respect , yet in return , women need to be respected in order to respect themselves . DOn't be ignorant to someones feelings . Respect yourself . Pass The Help .
