Dear Women and Girls of All Ages,
There has been something weighing heavy on my heart for a few weeks now. Tonight, as I drove home, this burden became overwhelming and therefore I am writing to you now. This letter is in regards to Lady GaGa's newest song dominating the airwaves. I want to believe that the goal of this song is to be uplifting and filled with "girl power." However, it falls extremely short of this goal.
My dear friends, yes, even those I do not know, be on your guard with this song! The reality we face is that our bodies are intimately connected with our souls, hearts, and minds. The idea that a man "can't have my heart and won't use my mind" yet do whatever he wants with my body without consequence is the biggest lie of our generation. Your body is the vase that holds your very essence. It is imperative that you take a stance and do not let anyone do whatever they want with your vase.
My heart hurts for our generation. After 17 years of people using my body, I can tell you that no matter how hard you try, it will damage your heart, mind, and life. You will lose your voice if you do not exercise your ability to say "NO". In no circumstance should a person allow or invite another to use their body for whatever twisted, disgusting, lustful activities.
Take guard my sisters! Be prepared to protect your bodies, hearts, and minds against the horrible views of the world. There is nothing more valuable than your body, mind, spirit, and soul. You are more precious than silver and rubies. You, yes YOU, are beautiful, exceptionally wonderful, outstandingly and perfectly YOU!!!! Do not let the views of this world ruin who you are.
If I had the power, I would have this song taken off the airways. There is simply no point in exclaiming to a man, or anyone, that he can do whatever he wants to your body. This poorly thought out song points you, my young sisters, towards a life of darkness. Avoid it with all your might.
Sincerely,
A 27 year old female determined to overcome the years spent under the physical control of others.
