change requires more than thought

guys walk down a sidewalk, people don't think much of it. a girl walks down a sidewalk and she gets honked at, whistled at, yelled at. guys walk into bars, people don't notice too much. girls walk into bars and they getted stared at, hit on, and drinks offered or bought for them(with the specific purpose of getting the girl drunk and taking her to bed). guys play sports and most people watch and cheer. girls play sports and they got mocked or ignored. guys sleep around and they get a "high social status" and a slap on the back. girls sleep around and they're called "hoes", "sluts", and so on.

girls so often are seen as objects, property, possessions, trophies...and often times get treated as such. this is not solely the fault of the guy(s). many girls have or do continue to allow themselves to get seen and treated as such. many do not do anything about it, they just complain and whine, not taking a stand. we can't expect things to change while just sitting on the sidelines complaining about it. action must be taken for change to occur.(this theme was quite evident in the movie North Country).

its the same for racism. change needs to occur and for that to happen action needs to be taken. the right actions need to be taken. and for the right actions to be taken hearts need to be right. and for hearts to be right, God needs to be present and thriving within all of us.
