Men Men Men Sunday, Oct 28 2007

I remember when I was little I used to think that men could only be firefighters, police officers, and dog catchers. I remember always asking my parents why all my teachers were girls and my mom would say it was because women taught better than men but men built the school so we could have a place to learn….therefore we had to appreciate both sides to the story! Oooo how times have changed… Now I see that as jobs have allowed gender to mix them together a little bit the more successful things can be. I mean, we even have a woman running for president this next time around! Who would have ever thought that time would come?? Most men will give her the credit that she is entitled even though it is still hard to accept a female may dominate the next term. That is a HUGE step for our country…

Everyday women face challenges not just in the home, but at work simply because of gender and the inability for role reversal to occur. Either way, I am impressed with the way that time has changed things. It gives me a lot of hope that in the future women will be seen as more of an equal and perservere to stand right beside those men that are trying to keep us down.

Take time to realize.. Sunday, Oct 14 2007

The perfect mother. What does it take? What does the perfect mother look like? What does she act like? What does she do that makes her so perfect?
I think it took me awhile to realize… perfection is not as simple as it seems. Being a mother, you see yourself reflected in you’re childs eyes. You hold your breath, you reclaim your prayers, and you beg that you’re child is going to feel loved and master life the first time around. Being a mother, you try to save you’re child from everything bad, you try to keep them from pain, you try to teach them all the right things so they dont make the mistakes you once made. Being a mother, you don’t want to see tears streak their face and you give your entire life to fulfilling each and every wish they desire.
Often times, Mothers tend to lose sight of themselves while trying to live the lives of their child with them. Mothers continue through life as the hours fade and the days seem to pass by continuously….struggling to catch their own dreams while guiding and walking their child through life.
I think that mothers are so afraid of letting go too soon, so instead they just never do. No mother expects their child to fall off onto to the wrong path or get into all the wrong things– and when it does happen a mother falls off in the silence of their own sin as they blame themselves for not protecting their child a little bit better. It is a constant struggle. It is a job you cannot quit. It is the one thing that doesn’t ever go away and I have never seen a call of duty that stretches beyond the work of a mother…… Thank you MOM.

Women & Health.. Sunday, Oct 7 2007

It is nice to know that many women have had terrible experiences with the doctors who are supposed to take care of them. It is nice to be given a heads up on the fact that there are a handful of doctors practicing that should not be simply because they do not know how to treat women and give the proper advice and care out to them. But it is not so nice to know that the majority of the women who have experienced these problems have not done a thing about getting it fixed. Women cannot complain about being mistreated or not taken seriously by their doctor but then not go to any measure to get it fixed. Way to let the women after you fall victim to the same thing.
This is why there are so many problems with healthcare in the first place… and this is the same reason that doctors have lost their licenses before too. If this is such a common problem (even though I have not personally had this occur..yet) then why is no one stepping up to the plate and getting those doctors face to face with the medical board?
As women we have to be concerned and PROACTIVE about our healthcare. If we are not… nothing will ever change. Women can complain until the end of time about these issues but what good is that doing to alert the women who are only a few steps behind you in getting the same type of experience?
TAKE THE INITIATIVE OR DON’T COMPLAIN…. because those that do will be the only ones to see results.

Labiaplasty… Monday, Oct 1 2007

What an interesting topic for the week! Surgically altered and enhanced vaginas, labias, and hymens is certainly something that makes its clear to you how far some women will go to beautify themselves in the most extreme measures.
You know, I like to wear makeup, I like to have cute new clothes and go shopping because It does make me feel even better about myself when I prance around in a new outfit or dress that I think flatters my figure…. but I have never felt the need to beautify my body parts in ways like that! I suppose that some people get so caught up in perfection and the flawless figure that they feel like they have to change those minor imperfect qualities because they had no control over it to begin with. Considering some people are born with a more manly vagina due to chromosomal defects and other factors- I think that it may be more acceptable to have things like that surgically fixed, but not for the sake of beauty alone!
I had never even really heard of such a procedure but I guess these days nothing surprises me! I really pray that one day those women that are so lost and determined to go to such extremes to feel wanted and loved will get a glimpse to the other side of things and realize how many more important things accompany us in life besides our outer image.
It just is absolutely shocking to me that even in China, I mean women all over the world do these types of surgeries just to fit the picture of the “ideal beautiful woman” they long to be.

Sometimes you wonder what goes on in the mind of a woman that makes them feel that beauty is only skin deep……
