Restroom catfights and evil stares; do ‘ladies’ still exist?
Ashley Lawson
Where all the ladies at? A lady by definition is a woman, refined, polite and dignified.
However, as I examine the women who frequent the ever-so-popular Mill Avenue centered in the heart of Tempe, on no particular night I find it difficult to locate, by definition, any ladies.
My research concluded that these femme fatales have landed far and beyond the standards of yesteryear.
What happened to the June Cleavers of our day?
Where are their morals, their principles?
All I can make out are seas of scantily dressed college girls looking for some chauvinistic pig to hook-up with for the night.
I will define all of these actions as super classy.
Mrs. Cleaver would sure be proud.
Is society that messed up to where women think it’s ok to have a raunchy demeanor when going out on a weekend night, where the bar scene is looked upon as an unofficial prostitution ring?
I’m willing to bet that if a girl or guy is taking you home after one night, they are not in love.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for that second “date.”
You already gave it up, he’s moved on to the next cow.
What’s the deal?
Women in the 1960s and 70s bonded together to form one of the most significant sexual revolutions in history.
But now we get in catfights with a girl in the restroom for looking at us wrong, that seems misguided.
Forty years ago, women weren’t even allowed the same basic sexual human rights as men, now females these days take all of what those courageous women worked for, for granted, and throw it out the window, along with their morals.
I am not saying that going to a bar and meeting new people is in any way wrong.
However, taking the new friend home for a night of bad decisions and unprotected encounters is not what Margaret Sanger had in mind when she opened the first birth control clinic in 1916.
Maybe if we had more role models like Susan B. Anthony or Betty Friedman and not ones like Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan, more ladies would be visible on any given night, on Mill Avenue.
