"I am NOT a Whore!"
"I am NOT a Whore!"
"I am NOT a Whore!"
These words rang out in anger and through tears, shouted by one of the ladies of Emerald City at the person who had just called her such.
I was too far away to know the details of what was going on. My immediate response to the men and women around me was "Oh how I hate that 'W' word!"
One man asked… "That 'W' word?"
"Yes. That 'W' word that sounds like it should be an 'H' word. For that matter, I hate the 'P' word and the 'H' word that really is an 'H' word!"[1]
One lady who overheard my rant actually laughed at me as I put those words in the same realm of offensive words as the dreaded 'F' bomb.
I continued… "No lady here is a W, P or H… Everyone here is a human being worthy of dignity, honor, respect, and love."
"Oh, I bet you say that to all the women." One lady chimed in with a grin.
"Actually, I do because it's true. It's true of the women. It's true of the men. Everyone here is a human being worthy of the highest dignity, honor, respect, and love."
A couple of people simply said, "Thank you."
A couple others seemed to have just been exposed to a new thought on the same plain as "The world might be round."
You are not a 'w' and the world is round!
Genesis 1:27 New International Version (NIV)
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
