A Large Number of Women are Unhappy; Why?
Essay #2
Women are more intelligent than men so why aren’t they happier than men?
To make it simple for men who read this I will explain it in automobile terms.
Women are the luxury cars and run on higher octane. They are soft, well-built, and give a nice ride.
Men are the cheaper stick shift models. They run on lower cheaper octane. They take rougher handling but don’t seem to mind, some prefer it.
In simple human terms women are more complicated and require more care, more maintenance, and better treatment. They are concerned about things men never think about.
Men being less complicated, have fewer worries, fewer fears, they wonder why women are concerned about picky little things that don’t matter.
What we want to establish here is that men and women are different. Several years ago a weird women’s group decided men and women were exactly alike. The term they fondly repeated was unisex. Women seemed okay with the term but men were puzzled. A few years later much to the relief of men, Time magazine published an article that explained men and women were actually quite a bit different.
What caused this silly speculation was a little pill. Do women realize what they have given up for a tiny birth control pill? What about respect? Honor? Morality? Decency? Why do you suppose so many young women are attacked, raped, and/or killed? Could it be because most boys are no longer taught to respect girls and women? The sex drive in men is very strong and when there are no restraints on it evil things can happen.
Women prior to the sixties were considered precious by men. They were after all:
1 Keepers of the home and hearth
2. Had the world’s most important job
3. The torch-bearers of civilization
4. The source of health, happiness, contentment, and the meaning of life
5. The family standard bearer
6. The teacher of manners , morals and respect to their children.
So why have all the loving, loyal, protecting men who thought their purpose in life was to serve as husbands devoted to their wives and family, disappeared? What has become of the notion that a man and a woman joined together in matrimony could experience a lifetime of happiness?
So who convinced women they were better off without these old fashion ideas and that they could better themselves by being more like men and working for the things men found important? Men don’t pay much attention to sexual immorality and with the pill negating the fear of pregnancy women didn’t have to either. Whoopee, let’s all enjoy intercourse as often as we want to and with whomever we want to.
After this return to the animal kingdom there arose a group of men who figured they had the right to take any woman they fancied any time whether the female consented to it or not. If the woman complained she could easily be killed. If you need to be reminded how many perversions and depraved acts this developed into just read your local newspaper.
The internet has developed its own world-wide cult of pornography. Girls as young as 9 or 10 have discovered they can make money by exposing themselves and asking for a donation. One wonders what kind of people their parents are.
I suppose a lot of people are content with the way things are but I know there is a large group who are not. Even men who thought this free and easy sex was great at first are now having second thoughts. As they begin to enter their late twenties and the thirties they wonder if they can find a decent woman who is interested in being a wife and mother. I have the notion they don’t know where to look. It is interesting to see how many young women in their teens have observed women in the lifestyle of the twenty-thirty somethings age group who don’t seem to be as ecstatically happy as they imagined they would be. These young ones are pretty smart. They have observed that many of these women are unhappy and they don’t feel fulfilled. Something is missing. It is strange that often older women in their fifties and sixties seem happier than the younger women. How does that work?
People, especially women are faced with an awful state of affairs in this brave new world. How strange, as things gets better, life gets worst. When a vacuum is created in nature it tends to be filled. When a spiritual vacuum occurs in a human being that tendency of nature may be the same. When Moses failed to fill the spiritual needs of his people, they substituted a golden calf. Do people today with spiritual needs have a tendency to fill it with phony idols as well? Money? Clothes? Celebrities? Small animals? Sports? TV? Obsessions often become a god substitute, cars, guns, shoes, jewels. Is there anything on the planet that can’t become an obsession? It you are filling your spiritual void with one of these substitutes you are vying for the pinhead of the year trophy.
I know not what other religions may offer but I do know that for most folks Christianity is one of the best for those seeking spiritual meaning for their lives, especially women. It is a good fit for republics and democracies. It is an equal opportunity religion in that young and old, male and female, race and nationality are equally served.
I have observed that lots of young women are drawn to the best of the charismatic churches and congregations where the services are modern upbeat and enthusiastic. These churches are generating the kind of excitement that is appealing to young people. I believe that the future of the church and Christianity is in the capable hands of these young innovators. So, my dear ladies, I suggest that this is the church for you. This is your chance to be the leaders. This is your opportunity to gain back the respect and honor that your mothers squandered. This is the time to again pick up the torch of civilization and to lead your generation out of the darkness. Think of it! To once again to be on a pedestal, to be the dominate force. If you take up this challenge the young men will flock to your banner! You will be able to mould them and shape them into the kind of men you want to be your loyal husbands, perfect fathers for your children, ready to love you and cherish you the way you deserve.
Doesn’t that sound like something that might interest you?
