Women: Sexuality & Justice~

Good morning! I hope you've had a good week and are ready for a glorious weekend. I'm in a hurry this morning--going to have lunch with Alice at 11 AM. But I wanted to give you something to chew on. This is from C. S. Lewis's book God in the Dock. I find it appropriate to think about when I consider what's going on in our world today. Please think about it.

Sexuality and Justice

A society in which conjugal infidelity is tolerated must always be in the long run a society adverse to women. Women, whatever a few male songs and satires may say to the contrary, are more naturally monogamous than men; it is a biological necessity. Where promiscuity prevails, they will therefore always be more often the victims than the culprits. Also, domestic happiness is more necessary to them than to us. And the quality by which they most easily hold a man, their beauty, decreases every year after they have come to maturity, but this does not happen to those qualitites of personality--women don't really care twopence about our looks--by which we hold women. Thus in the ruthless war of promiscuity women are at double disadvantage. They play for higher stakes and are also more likely to lose. I have no sympathy with moralists who frown at the increasing crudity of female provocativeness. These signs of desperate competition fill me with pity.

If this doesn't ring any bells in your head, then you aren't paying attention to what's going on in society. Women need to wake up to the fact that they are in charge of the way this situation goes. I pray that the way women dress and behave to get a man's attention will change. They are giving away their power by living with boyfriend after boyfriend. How can a society survive these attitudes?

Have a great weekend!
