MAN VS WOMAN!!!



GOD says...
When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being. When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils. But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man because your nostrils are too delicate. I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.
Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity. From one bone I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects man's life. I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do.
Around this one bone I shaped you. I modeled you. I created you perfectly and beautifully. Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile. You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart. His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life. The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.
Support man as the rib cage supports the body. You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to be above him. You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side. You are my perfect angel. You are my beautiful little girl. You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes fill when I see the virtue in your heart. Your eyes -- don't change them. Your lips -- how lovely when they part in prayer. Your nose so perfect in form, your hands so gentle to touch.
I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep; I've held your heart close to mine. Of all that lives and breathes, you are the most like me.
Adam walked with me in the cool of the day and yet he was lonely. He could not see me or touch me. He could only feel me. So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you: my holiness, my strength, my purity, my love, my protection and support.
You are special because you are the extension of me. Man represents my image -- woman, my emotions. Together, you represent the totality of God.
So man -- "treat woman well. Love her, respect her, for she is fragile". In hurting her, you hurt me. What you do to her, you do to me. In crushing her, you only damage your own heart, the heart of your Father and the heart of her Father. Woman, support man. In humility, show him the power of emotion I have given you. In gentle quietness show your strength. In love, show him that you are the rib that protects his inner self.


MY TAKE:
We are all the children of God. We are human beings. I really dont like to differentiate between man or woman. But sadly in today's society man has all the power. Even now in many places in India birth of a boy is rejoiced and birth of a girl is a grievous affair. Why? Why even now a girl has to fight to live in this world? Why is she treated below a boy? A girl might be 100 times more efficient from a guy but still she will not be, in many cases, considered good enough! Why? Why a girl wearing "sexy" clothes be termed a slut? Why the number of rape cases in girls far exceed the rape cases in boys? Why a girl is supposed to learn to behave in an "APPROPRIATE" way and the man well he's allowed to order her, beat her, rape her? Why the cases of domestic violence are still on an increase? Why the hell it is so?
I am a girl and i am so tired of these so called customs this power hungry struggle. I refuse to be treated like a slave I refuse to be treated any less than a boy I refuse to behave appropriately to dress appropriately why should I? When these men who rape these men who abuse these men who play should be learning the etiquettes!
My blog is focussed on the issue of sexual abuse but i figured that no amount of information about this will make a change until the basic questions are answered , until whole freedom is given to females , until man and woman are treated as equals!
