north country

I don't know where to start. when I watched north country I got incredibly disgusted, upset, and offended and it wasn't even me that everything happened to. and what got me most was the fact that it was even some people she knew; a guy she grew up with and even had a "fling" with. and even her own father stood by for awhile doing nothing until it finally got out of hand and her mother finally stepped in to do something about it by standing up to the father. it just seemed so unreal to me(and sadly it was based on real events). I thought over and over and realized just how blessed I am to have the parents I do, to have the father and brothers I do, the male friends that I have. I won't say I never get treated like on object or like I am sub-human because at times I have been treated that way and yes it can be just as horrible as that movie depicted but I don't live with it day in and day out and I also have family and friends(both male and female) that support me and watch out for me.
I am by no means a radical feminist, I am actually fairly traditional. but regardless, we are ALL created in the image of God. man is no more superior than women. and no one should be treated as inferior or be made to feel like any less of an image of God.
