So, I'm not going to lie, some of this stuff went right over my head. It is usually not anything I pay much attention to because I honestly don't really have an opinion on the matter. I try my best to stay out of the politics of things such as equal rights amongst women and men and races and things of that nature. The reason I do this is based on MY EXPERIENCE ALONE, not saying it happens every time something of this nature is brought up, it tends to lead to anger or some form of confrontation which I think is just ridiculous. Now that that has been said, back to the matter at hand.
Most of this stuff went right over my head. I didn't really know what was going on, so if I misinterpreted this passage then I apologize. What stuck out to me most in the reading is in chapter II where she writes about innocence and how it is seen as good for a child, yet it is seen as a weakness for an adult. I wanted to focus mainly on this because I thought it was interesting. Did people actually see innocence as a weakness then? To the best of my understanding, which is not a very deep understanding, I thought it was something expected of people to be innocent. If innocence is being used as a euphemism referencing to virginity or something of that matter, then I can see where people would, in most cases in today's culture, over glorify someone's lack of innocence. However, our culture today is pretty wack, to say the least. I guess that was my only question on the matter. I think it probably just stuck out to me so much because I had thought something different was true.
I commented on Ezra's and Addison's post.
