Although much has been improved over the last forty years or so regarding the age and gender bias, there is much still to be accomplished to encourage individuals to maximize their total potential as a human being especially for the very young and the very matured in age. In addition, there have been "glass ceilings" that have been broken to open up opportunities for women who want to achieve their life's goals through their effective use of time, talents, and treasures. However, in this arena there is a long way to go to encourage women to strive to succeed in the typical "man dominated" environments. Assertiveness has proven to be a valuable asset to accelerate the process in the long run. In addition, effective communication skills and interpersonal skills have helped women who already know how to effectively multi-task better than their male counterpart. When you want the job to be done correct, ask a woman.
Our Country's attitude toward age on both ends of the spectrum have a long way to go to return RESPECT for the unborn as well as the extremely elderly, dependent person of advanced age and maturity. RESPECT means to convert the attitude of a "throwaway mentality" to preserving the value of each unique human being from conception to natural death with RESPECTFUL DIGNITY and SACREDNESS. When a Country like the United States of America elects to abort more than 50,000,000 unborn babies during the past 35 years through humanly constructed laws, the negative attitude is contrary to any DIVINE law that says: "EACH UNIQUE HUMAN BEING HAS A RIGHT TO LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS." When this attitude exists on one spectrum of human life, the effect impacts the other end of the spectrum that encourages euthanasia as a way of creating the so-called "death with dignity" or mercy killing. ONLY GOD HAS THE RIGHT TO GIVE HUMAN LIFE AND TO TAKE HUMAN LIFE as the third party in creating each HUMAN LIFE.
Women have found themselves the targets of "pornography" as a way of distorting the beauty of each woman. Women have found that men demean women through their conversations, their attitudes of selfishness, and their ways of creating women as second-class citizens. Look at the criminal statistics regarding forcible rape...about 90 percent against women...Look at the criminal statistics regarding domestic violence by live-in boyfriends and some spouses...about 90 percent against women. Look at the creation of executive positions for women...about 20 percent or close to that figure. Look at the way we look at women homemakers who choose to be stay-at-home mothers, they are considered to be non-contributors to the economy and to society. Imagine what women are going through who desire a sizable family by choosing to have more than two children...going against zero population growth by the myth makers.We need to return to a RESPECT FOR WOMANHOOD that God intended a woman to be. We find many examples of WOMANHOOD in Scripture, in Tradition, and in many cultures. Here is a verse that my research has found over the years:
"Woman was made from the rib of man; she was not created from his head--to top him nor from his feet--to be stepped upon."
"Woman was made from his side--to be equal to him: from beneath his arm--to be protected by him: near his heart--TO BE LOVED BY HIM."
When we return to a love that transcends animal love and human love, we will find the divine love that says: WE ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD. IN GOD WE TRUST. "FAITH, HOPE, AND LOVE, BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE." Remember that OCTOBER IS RESPECT HUMAN LIFE MONTH!
