A February 2015 ESSENCE article listed seven attributes which led a man to marry his
wife. Written by a man, Point # 6, titled She Isn't
Easy, caught my eye
She respected and valued her body. She
wouldn't let me sleep with her on the first night, the first week, the first
month like every other woman I'd met until that point.
She wouldn't let
me. . .
Why were you
trying?
Dear Men,
I am beyond tired
of being told to keep my legs shut while you are trying to get between them. Why
do I have to defend myself to be considered respectable? Why do I have to prove
to you that my body is to be valued?
How 'bout you
respect me by not trying to sleep with me on the first night, first week, first
month? How 'bout you show me how much you value me by not pressing the issue?
Cordially,
