The Prostitution of a Woman's Mind

Nobody Cares: Men--if you have a daughter, pay attention; I could cover this subject with a book, but I'm cutting to the chase with two examples in order for all fathers out there to guard themselves against making this very serious mistake with their daughters.

And that's on the subject on how you react when you notice your little girl is no longer your little girl.

Example one: I was reading Raquel Welch's book, "Beyond the Cleavage" and came upon this;

At the salon, they cut my hair off to just above the shoulder and then curled it into a bouncy '50 style. I was still getting used to it when I walked through the front door of our home. My dad took one look at me and hit the ceiling. He was furious! He wasted little time before putting my head under the bathroom faucet and soaking it through. The offensive curls went limp. I was thoroughly humiliated. According to my father, only whores and harlots wore their hair loose. The next day I had to have the rest of my hair cut off. Dad was so worried. I hadn't even hit puberty yet. Is it any wonder that one day I would end up a sex symbol? On the one hand he was overly strict about things like my hair; but on the other hand, he reacted positively and noticeable too overtly sexy women. It was hypocritical and maddening!

After reading this I started to wonder, just how common this was ?

Back in the sixties, before this nobody could even imagine what "sex" was, my father one day, did not like the mini-skirt (which was all the rage) I had on. You see, I was sixteen, and dating an older fellow, who was about as respectful as could be...almost like a brother. One afternoon, I went for a ride with him and one of his friends. We were more like the Harry Potter trio. But, to my father, I was a whore...simply because I got into a car with two men. and as soon as got back, and walked into the door, my father threw me against the wall, called me a whore, and took his fist, and punched me directly in the stomach, after I had asked, "What's a whore?"

Sorry, the world "whore" had never shown up on a Beatles album.

I was shocked, and terribly hurt, (more psychologically) because I knew I had only innocently "kissed" this guy once...on the lips...like a peck.

My father told me I was grounded for two weeks, and he wanted me to break up with the guy.
I will never forget what my boyfriend "John" did after that. Two days later he came over, marched into our front door, took my hand right in front of my father, and told him what he thought about him. My father was so shocked that this little "intellectual dweb" had stood up to him, he never said another word to either of us again.

I didn't talk to him for years.

Of course, I hated him for much of my young life after that. And I'm sure that devastated him.

Later on, we made up, because he lovingly became a great father to my son, who's own father was also a bully.

Now, I'm not a follower of psychology---but if you are a father, and maybe your young daughter is starting to look to you like a "whore," and your angry because you can't protect her from all the men out there who think much the same as you might have or still do, then hold your temper.

Go cut down a tree. Get yourself a chainsaw and go for it.

Remember, be her buddy from the time she is a child, and this scene will never happen. It should be the fathers that tell the daughters the lines, the thoughts, and the reality of other men's intentions, so she can arm herself. After all, women don't know how men's minds work...and who else is going to teach her the ropes?

And then, even if you don't like her boyfriends...remember, all kids have to make mistakes.

For God's sake, don't call the daughters whores before they even know what the words mean. Even if by today's pornified media blitz, they probably already do know.

Oh, and don't call them "pigs" either.

In fact, I think we should limit that word to prostitutes and politicians.

And that's my Nobody's Opinion.
