sex(y) over 50!

As always I sat and wondered what to write about. As I was "googleing" just about everything, I found this, a beautiful lady in a wonderful dress, come to find out this lady is Carmen Dell'Orefice. She is a 76 year old model, also known as the first "super model" starting her carrier more than 60 years ago. I realized that at the same time I was astound by her beauty but on the other hand I was wondering "why on earth is she still doing this?" Pondering that question I came across the following study: Grandma's got her groove on which discusses how women over 55 still enjoy sex. Not only do they still enjoy sex, no they enjoy it more than women of that age group 20 years ago. How do these two stories connect you may wonder?
In our society we not only are racist towards skin color, religion, and gender, we also have a problem with age. In our society talking or dare portraying aged sex is not very popular. I believe that Miss Dell'Orefice is a great demonstration of why old people still have sex and she empowers more women to do so. One of the reasons listed as to why women over 55 today want more sex then 20 years ago is according to Eli Coleman, director of the human sexuality program at the University of Minnesota Medical School. "They are empowered women," and they want to remain that way, he says."
So something has happened to women in the past. We have gained more power. We are still not at equality; however a 76 year old model and women over 55 are showing us that we are moving forward. Our culture is excepting more and more from our beautiful female world.

Night life is a meat market

Free drinks for ladies all night! No cover for girls before midnight! 18+ for ladies, 21+ for guys. Who Has not seen these advertisements for clubs?
After reading How Bars Exploit Underage Women as Commodities, I was shocked that I had never thought about this. Basically women are being prostituted. When we (women) get let in the clubs for free and it is advertised, it lets men know that there are a bunch of women in the bar. The clubs are using us to lure men. Having men pay to get in and buy us drinks' since we get them for free on ladies night this means that all the profit is made from the guys buying drinks.
I do not know if it is consciously or subconsciously but men are attracted to these clubs. They know that they will find women in there, who will be more willing to have sex since they are enabled by all the free or cheap alcohol.
Do these ladies nights lead to more women being raped? "July 2006. In a second homicide that summer in the city involving a young woman who had been drinking to excess, 18-year-old Jennifer Moore left one of the city's most exclusive lounges intoxicated. Walking alone in the early morning hours along the city's West Side Highway, she was abducted and raped. Two days later she was found disemboweled in a dumpster in Weehawken, N.J."(How Bars Exploit Underage Women as Commodities, By Liz Funk, Women's eNews. Posted January 2, 2007.)
So what can we do about this? Some might wonder why should we care about sleazy women? We could try to force bars to keep underage women out of the clubs. We could try and educate America's youth better.
As to why we should care, it is simple. Many young women feel the only way they can find a partner is exploit themselves. They do this by wearing promiscuous clothes and trying to party "as hard as the boys can". If society didn't expect women to look a certain way or to be with a boyfriend then perhaps women wouldn't feel the need to put themselves in dangerous situations like this.
I am not saying that all women should boycott clubs. What I am saying is women should be safe when they go out. Clubs should not provide an atmosphere where a woman is hunted, but instead be a safe and fun experience for anyone who attends.

Hypocrite

I like Green Day, I own Metallica's reload and I like it. I do not know if this follows the line of what these posts are supposed to be about and if not then I will simply have more than needed.
I am sick of how once a band has made it in the media world they are considered sell outs. Yes, the media is what the masses want but what happens if the masses want something that is good? Is it necessary that the "cool kids" have to hate it and consider it a sellout? Why is it that these supposedly tolerant people are so intolerant towards thing that are accepted by the masses? Yes, I understand that the these groups as the side groups in society, however they help form pop culture. How many stores are selling clothing that is inspired by punk lifestyle? But when a "true" punk sees the people shopping in the stores with the punk inspired clothes then that "true" punk thinks all the others to be wannabes!
I am so annoyed with the hypocrisy of the so called open mindedness of the side groups. These groups seem to be the most closed minded people in the population. I wonder is this the right way to fight the media and its obvious stupification?
I say we should all make our own decisions as to what we like and don't like. Do not hate a band because it suddenly has fans but actually listen to the music and decide for yourselves if you still like it.
Do not consider a band awesome because it is underground band, but actually listen there music and decide for yourself if they are good.
I do not like the sex pistols! Does this make me less of a punk? What is a Punk, Scene kid, Hopper? I listened to the Sex pistols and there was no talent in that band; it was angry screaming, and the ability to play 3 cords. So again I ask why I should like them.
I guess what I am trying to say is stop being such a hypocrite and make your own decisions, but also do not be a lemming, and make your own decisions!

10 Pounds

This picture started the controversy of weight yet again.
As the picture of Jessica Simpson aired in the media, a new discussion started on stars that are "fat" according to the media world.
I am starting to get the feeling that the media is out to cause a massive suicide amongst stars and teens.
Psychologically seen the weight that Miss Simpson gained shows that she is comfortable in her new relationship and she decided to simply enjoy her life. However, the media takes it upon them selves to ridicule her for gaining a possible ten pounds.
What bothers me the most about this is that if you look at the people "reporting" these things, they are old unfit men.
Why does the media do this? The reason is that we let them do it. If we would not show interest in these types of stories then maybe they would not show up. If we would not follow the dictations of the media to get thinner, prettier, we would not have to set or selves up for failure.
The average woman will never reach the ideal of what the media wants us to look like which is demonstrated in the picture of the skinny model.
So how can we stop this madness? We could boycott fashion shows. We could refuse to buy gossip magazines. We could simply start eating again.
