Our culture and our society has NEVER respected women the way that we should. In other cultures there have been Goddesses. WOMEN. Goddesses are worshipped by MANY people, men included. These men were taught to kiss the feet of the women they worshipped and each and every woman in their lives were to be treated as living embodiments of the Goddess. In other cultures women have been venerated and worshipped for centuries, no matter how they looked. Goddesses were not and are not always depicted as beautiful, thin, radiant women..no way..Goddesses throughout history have always been portrayed as looking the way women REALLY look. If you look at cave paintings and sculptures of Goddesses from Catal Hoyuk (Turkey) the Goddesses are very round bodied, not slim and petite. As a matter of fact, most ALL sculputres of Goddess from the Neolithic time period were..”fat.” (for lack of better terms.)
In the Hindu universe, in Sanatana Dharma, the woman has ALWAYS been worshipped and their image of what is “beauty” is completely different from the Western or American ideal of what “beauty” is. The Goddess has almost always been depicted as a stout, big boned, warrior type woman…

Here in America..we simply dont have that kind of ideology and its really a shame.
Our idea of what women should look like dont come from historical or religious figures. There IS no powerful woman in “western” religion. Mary Magdalene was labeled as a whore despite the fact there is no information in the Bible to support such claims. Are there any powerful women figures in Islam? We all know the answer to that one. And, the only powerful woman figure in Judaism was cast off as a demon because she disobeyed Adam and wanted to have some sort of control on their relationship.
There is no real “Goddess” figure in our western society. Woman started out as a very oppressed being in our western world and up until recently WOMAN was not even allowed to VOTE. There has never been worship of women in our society. Our society was built by men who worshipped an unmarried virgin, what would he know about women? The only idea of women we have came from barbaric ideologies and religions that were brought here by merchants from the Middle East, Muslims who keep their women covered and rule over them at all times, and East Asia where they tied up womens feet and abort female babies (this is only some parts of East Asia, I do realize there has been goddess worship in many east asian animistic religions as well as forms of Buddhism, etc).
Our idea of how to treat women came from the Bible where it gives thorough instructions on how much you should sell your daughter for.
There hasnt really been any real venerated women in our society. There has been NO woman worship. Its almost as if woman is soley looked upon as a sexual being.

The closest thing we have to Goddesses in this country are fake, plastic airbrushed women who give off the idea that women should be perfect. They should have blonde hair, blue eyes, they should be thin, preferably under 130 pounds, big boobs, nice body, and be willing to spread her legs to any man that has anything resembeling a penis.

Thousands upon thousands of magazine covers have convinced women in this country that your stomach has to be flat in order for you to be accepted. You have to lose weight in order to look good. You have to be skinny in order for a man to want you. Your nose has to be turned up and cute! You HAVE to be able to SEE your cheekbones! Aging is looked at as disgraceful and ugly. There are massive amounts of anti aging and anti wrinkle products in this country that have made women ashamed of their age instead of PROUD that they have endured that many years on this earth and have earned every fucking wrinkle on their face. A woman in this country never accepts her position as a mother and tries to live through their youthful daughters. Women in this country are embarressed to be in photographs because the “camera adds 10 pounds.” We have women who want to spend THOUSANDS of dollars on their PHYSICAL beings. Knowing good and well that for the majority of people their physical looks just dont last past a certain age. And, once that is gone..what will they have? They will be worse off than when they started. Instead of being a bitter old bitch they will be a bitter old bitch whos flesh is rotting off to reveal all the plastic she had hammered underneathe there when she was 20.

The image of women in America has created a society of young girls who resign themselves to puking every meal in the toilet JUST so she can look like Kate Moss. The image of women in America has created a fictitous, superficial, sad and pathetic mindset that many women of this country succumb to EVERY DAY. Its sad and its created extremely shallow people, people who would rather work on their outside, an outside that will change VASTLY in 50 years, as opposed to working on their inside that will only better with age.

Anyway. I just had to rant about that. I think its sad. People wonder what the future of America will be like? Well, we better all get the crap outta here because its not looking too bright.
