You know what?  I am annoyed.  I'm annoyed with what has become simply acceptable.  Lifestyles that are simply acceptable.  Speech that is simply acceptable.  Actions that are…simply acceptable.  There are times in this life when I get grossly discouraged and disgusted with the decisions made by women.  Men disgust me too, but this week's events remind me of how far we as women have to go in order to get the respect we expect from men.  There are a few things lately that really set me off:

• Dressing like a hooker because you think that is what you have to do to get a man.  I spend most of my weekends from Aug - Nov at college football games where I get the chance to see the next generation of women dressed in the least amount of clothing possible.  {Now let me say that I am totally guilty of having worn skirts too short, dresses too tight and swimsuits too tiny in my younger years.  But I have grown in wisdom and through experience.  I'm 30-something.  30s are the best btw.  There is a time and a place for everything.  Keep the skimpy clothes in the bedroom with your husband.}  I'm talking cut off jeans so short I see booty cheeks when she walks.  Skirts so short and tight paired with tops also so short and tight that she looks like she is dressed as Julia Roberts BEFORE from Pretty Woman.  I watch the girls hobble in their six inch heels across uneven concrete pathways and into bars, tailgates, even the stadium because they have been sold on the idea that the more skin they show the more likely they are to get the attention of a man.  Well sister, you got one thing right.  You will get the attention of a man…lots of them actually, but they won't respect you the way you should be respected.  They WILL assume that you are offering something more than just a "peek" and they will take advantage of you.  Go home, put on a cute pair of jeans and t-shirt with a cute flannel shirt over that and bring your cute booty back here with confidence and poise.  Show them you are smart and rock that flannel shirt.  Respect yourself and you will find a man who wants to respect you.
• Having a relationship {of any kind} with a married man who isn't YOUR married man.  It usually starts as friends and grows from there.  Stop it.  He has already met the love of his life and he doesn't need you to be the biggest mistake of his life.  I've watched marriages slowly fall apart because men and women think innocent little texts, lunches, happy hours with "just-a-friend" are okay.  You are opening the door to temptation and asking for trouble.  Stop it.  Touch MY man and I will hunt you down.  {I'm not kidding.}
• Defining feminism as a woman's right to oil her body and pose butt naked on the cover of a magazine {well she did wear a pearl choker} because you somehow think this further empowers the cause of women's rights???

The internet has been abuzz all week {albeit, she did not break it} because Kim Kardashian and Paper Magazine wanted to test us.  They wanted to push the limit.  They wanted to manipulate us and because we are so predictable, that is exactly what they did.  They won.  I was shocked {I'm not sure why, I mean she made herself famous by "accidentally" having a sex tape released.  No accident folks.  She knew what she was doing and I think her mama did too.}.  Sad, so sad.  I couldn't go on twitter without seeing meme after meme of KimK and in all her oiled up glory.  {My personal fave?  The one with her booty cheeks turned into two giant glazed Krispy Kreme donuts.}  I got angry when I saw women praising her representing a woman's right to pose naked and further the cause of feminism.  ARE YOU KIDDING ME????  You think what she did makes us more of an equal to men???  You think she is breaking the glass ceiling by posing butt naked???  You think she is demanding respect???  She is doing the exact opposite!  She is using her body to make money.  Excuse me for being blunt, but she is pimping herself out for the sake of celebrity and fortune.  Men are not taking notice and offering up respect on a silver platter; oh no, they are using her cover to feed their grotesque thoughts and actions.  GROSS.  They are treating other women in their lives like pieces of meat worthy of only gawking eyes, sexual favors and inferiority.  Sadly, KimK is someone little girls and grown women all over the USA follow and admire for her beauty and success.  Actions like this are breeding generations of women who will not be demanding respect and chivalry, but rather they will demand inferiority and abuse.  Frankly speaking.
