Diary of a Wom'n

A conversation I had with Courtney gave me a deeper understanding into his values and his perspective on life. First of all, he's very sexually active - makes me wonder if he is at all concerned about contracting anything or whether he gets tested regularly. Well, we got to talking about sex and he tells me that he won't marry a woman unless he knows how she is in bed - to quote him, "You won't buy the ride unless you've taken a test drive".

Hm. I didn't know where to begin to debate this one. This can't be the mentality of all men. It can't be.

Maybe it's just different for women. There's more at stake for us. In addition to STDs there's accidental pregnancy. How do you fix that without any moral repercussions? You can't.

Going back to what Courtney said - it's attitudes like that that push naive women to give in to a man and not think of the consequences; women who have no self-control; women who are insecure. Sadly, this will always be the case. Some women will never have been taught their worth growing up, and as adults, will never know their own worth.

Losing a man over sex doesn't phase me one bit. Him, I can get back. If I lose me, I'm gone for good.
