Blasphemy

So i was reading this blog on Myspace and the title was "The true life of LA girls beware of them they are not safe"......

The title alone caught my attention, but as I began to read the content, it only lead me to frustration. It is one thing to simply to state your opinion but to try and push your ideas off on people is wrong. In the blog that i was reading, the guy was talking about how women from Los Angeles are a waste of life and that there are only three types of them. He said these three types of women are the groupie, the gold-digger and the hoe. To make a long story short he talks about how all of these girls are obsessed with celebrities and fortune. He said that they will do anything to get their 15 minutes of fame, even if it's layed up in a celebrities bed. In some cases this may be true, but why is that he only singled out women in L.A.? There is promiscuity no matter where you go, its the oldest job known to mankind.

Singling out women in any region of the world and categorizing ALL of them is pathetic. Not every woman in L.A. is selling their body or trying to get rich on someone elses ticket. I'm not from Los Angeles but I have family that is. And as of right now I do reside here and I myself am far from what this man that I have never met, describes me to be me. I go to work everyday and I am a young woman in college trying to eduacte herself. I have goals and dreams that have absoluetly nothing to do with selling my body to the first person that crosses my path. People like this young man are the reason why society lacks in many areas when it comes to portraying and treating us women.

In 2007 women made up 51% of those in the workforce. Meaning, there are more women out there working then there are men in high paying, professional, corporate jobs. So, please tell me how all women are a waste of life, when the majority of us are trying to make it big in the world. We women work in a wide range of careers we are engineers, realtors, school teachers, doctors, nurses and we are now holding our ground more than EVER in politics.

It doesnt matter where you live or where you have been, i guarantee that there has been someone walking the streets. If there isnt someone now, there was someone in the past. Instead of degrading women, why not educate those that you do know headed down the wrong path? It is wrong to categorize anyone because we are all individuals from different walks of life. For example, if we were to flip the script and talk about ALL men from L.A., San Diego, or Boston are all jail bait, low life, male prostitues, wannabe celebrities and pimps, then tons of men would be furious and would feel disrespected. We need to stop with the anamosity and realize that we all have potential. We need to stop putting people down to make ourselves feel better. It is an unfortunate truth that there are promiscuous women and MEN in this world setting a bad example but the rest of the world needs to be the change. WE NEED TO BE THE CHANGE THAT WE WANT TO SEE.

Love,
Renee
