Judgmental Envy
9:43 AM
We,
as females, constantly ridicule the loose woman. We judge the street walker. We
look down on the exotic dancers and escorts. The shameless women of the night.
But we are the foolish ones. Doing for free what they get paid for. We take
pride in our expensive vehicles and flashy diamond rings on fingers that
continue to plump with age. She enjoys freedom, liberty, and the high of life
flowing through her veins. The addiction to fast money, fast cars, handsome
men, and jealous stares.
We
hate her for sleeping with our men. But yet it is her that we emulate when we
want to bring our man’s attention back home. It is her we think about when we
envision our partner’s escape from us. We fault her for wearing heels that are
too high and tops that are too low. But we seek to be like her when we want to
be sexy. We wear her uniform of stilettos, tight dresses, and teased hair. We
look for her independence. We look for her carelessness. We envy her candor.
We
whisper to our friends that she squanders her money while we work hard every
day for our 401K. We mumble that she’s had too many pleasures with too many
men. So many ships have sailed through her wetness. Her ocean must surely be
polluted. But we want to be like her. We dance naked in front of the mirror,
sucking in our stomachs to be perfect. Just like her. All the time.
But
the truth is, we are her. The woman who wears the heels and disappears with
strange men into the darkness of the night. Why are we so different from her?
Because our privates are not public fodder? Because less hands have rubbed
against our bare skin? No. You hold the same power as her. It is infinite. You
burn with the same fury. You feel the same passions. Do not fault her for doing
what you are simply too conservative, too ashamed, or too afraid to do. How we
use the roar within us is what eventually separates the lioness from the house
cat. Which one are you?
