Respect for women..

All along women have been objectified and one step behind men in government, politics, and rights. Today is not much different. Women may have the right to vote and have a place in politics, however they do not have equal pay in many positions and are still objectified as much if not more so then before.
We live in the modern world of female advancement and the modern working women. This woman is educated in the same manner that her male counterpart is and yet is making on average twenty percent less then he is. How is this possible? Women are supposed to have equal rights and pay. Sexual discrimination is illegal and women have a strong voice in politics. The government has not passed enough legislation to have this be a reality and protect its female population. Wage isn’t the only problem with which government has turned its back on.
The way women are objectified in society is a also a problem that we must deal with, pornography and other such forms should be eradicated because even though some women might, place themselves in those situations they are making a mockery of the female race.
This also has connotations that men are above women and implies that they are allowed to get away with more. Even words like “slut” among others have the same meaning as “pimp” yet are considered worse. Why can’t both be negative? They can both lead to the same thing and mean promiscuous. Yet when a male is called a “pimp” is almost like a sigh of accomplishment.
This also brings up how men treat women as object and feel that they can disrespect them. Even as a sixteen year old girl I cannot jog down a street, or walk home from work with out eyes moving off the road and onto the sidewalks, sometimes even a beep or two. It makes you feel horrible as if you, yourself have done something wrong. A lot of men, not all by no means am I condemning the whole male species, have disrespected women in some or all forms of this and its despicable.
Women have to get angry about this and show men that they are better, shoot a dirty look, demand higher pay and look down on the way that men treat them. Otherwise we will go back in time not forward and female advancement will reverse.

When the leaders of the Catholic Church say that faith in today’s world is at an all-time low, and continues to sink, they are sadly mistaken. Belief and worship is at an all-time high! However, this belief and worship has nothing to do with the Church. As the multitudes of people turn away from the Catholic Church because of a lack in faith, they think that they are freeing themselves from a binding belief. Little do these people know that they are throwing themselves full-force into fly traps of secular and shallow beliefs and worship.
As a great man once said; “He who believes in nothing, believes in everything.” Without the help and guidance of the Church, many of these people are willing to believe anything they hear from the media, friends, popular culture, and anything they come in contact with. Flooded by these pop-culture beliefs, the “rebel” takes them all in because now he is supposedly free of all constraint. However, he does not know that these “anything goes” beliefs and practices are constraining him more than he thought the Church could ever do.
But there is no safety-net anymore. All it takes is one person to take control of his life to completely extinguish free will. At this point, he wonders what has happened to his freedom. There is no use in explaining what has happened, because as St. Thomas Aquinas said “To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.”
The only explanation possible is meant for those not totally blinded by their new “freedom,” is that he, the “rebel,” saw faith as a constraint rather than a pathway to freedom. Through the eyes of the Church, the “rebel” needs to come back because “There is but one Church in which men find salvation, just as outside the ark of Noah it was not possible for anyone to be saved” (St. Thomas Aquinas). Now all we have to do is figure out how we all can get back.
