Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Google's very own definition of the adjective "sexy." When I read this definition, red flags popped up in my head. How is an opinion of a human being defined to one word? Why would a professional woman, a female high school drop out, a "single mother" supporting 4 kids, a female CEO, a woman on welfare or a teenage girl want to be viewed as "raunchy"; or any of the other explicit synonyms describing the word we place so much value you in? Why are women only sexy if they are fragile, uneducated, easy and good looking. Is it the intimidation that men develop when they work with a confident, educated women? Or is it the shame that comes over a man when his girlfriend does not depend on him for money and resources? Are women in our society trapped by the boundaries men developed? Was Eve the reason women in today's world represent conniving human beings? Or was it the way the story was interpreted. This post does not put blame on men, however it does analyze the inequality women face. We are equal, we were not put on this earth to be represented as an object, robed of our dignity. It is however the "norm" in our society, because we encourage this behavior and way of thought. What you describe the next women walking down the street as, is completely your opinion; but is she subject to "XXX sexy videos" or is she confident with poise and dignity? The definition of "sexy" is subjective, but please... don't be so shallow.
