It's a Privilege to be a Women

My heart and soul have been broken and not in the good way. I feel God has laid it on my heart to share this with you.
So many times, especially this past week, being a women has made we want to cry. This troubles me because never should a women feel dejected, substandard, or regretful because she is a women.
Being a women is a privilege, and so it should be. Femininity does not equal weakness, as many women in today's society are convincing themselves. Men and women, although they are equal in ontological character, have been made different by God. Different yet complementary. Each sex has its strengths and weaknesses. Husbands and wives are to help each other overcome these weaknesses.

"Women [...] are the guardians of purity. This is already clearly indicated by the structure of their bodies, which chastely hides their intimate organs. Because their organs are "veiled," indicating their mystery and sacredness, women have the immense privilege of sharing the sex of the blessed one: Mary, the most holy of all creatures" [as believed in Catholicism]. A women "knows intuitively that to give, to nurture, to care for others, to suffer with and for them -- for maternity implies suffering -- is infinitely more valuable in God's sight than to conquer nations and fly to the moon," (Von Hildebrand).

What has happened to the generations of this world? What ever happened to chivalry and respect?
I am so sick and tired of the perverted, vulgar, disrespect towards women. I am so sick and tired of men constantly looking at me like I'm dessert. I'm appalled, sad, and sick of the molestation, rape, and domestic violence towards women.
Ladies and gentlemen, please have a voice take a stand. Show chivalry, give respect. Treat women like the ladies and princesses they are, for crying out loud!
