Ramble On - Or How I Get Through This Life

Ramble On - April 2008

We are Beautiful

April 27th 2008 02:18

Americans compartmentalize sexuality, intelligence, and competence,. How can you claim to be smart, or funny, or compassionate, but still want to show off what God gave you? Why not be loud and proud about your positive physical qualities? We all have to live in this world, amidst the judgments of others, and can't blame people for wanting approval. I notice how folks feel caught between a rock and a hard place. Maybe we feel the need to play down our sexiness in order to be judged based on merit, or else somehow prove we haven't lost our " inner beauty." What does this mean? Why are we so ambivalent?

I ask:

Where is the balance of strength and femininity or masculinity we must maintain in order to be socially accepted as a "woman" or "man" while not over-sexualizing or exploiting the body?

For the Sake of Argument
My Apologetics

I think too many people worry about what others thinks of them and too many people like to pass judgment on others for the most inane things.
