Self fulfilling?

Are you looking for the whore or the spotless virgin and are you convinced that they exist?

Because some woman treat their sexuality as a product does this make all woman whores? Conversely is it possible for the virgins to raise the overall value of womankind?

It seems that most woman are somewhere between these polar opposites and that is less important than the power of the respective ends. Is our treatment of woman more important than their actual expression of sexuality?

What happens when we begin to treat all woman one way or the other? When we treat all woman as if they are whores than I suggest that it diminishes the entire gender. We start to expect wanton behavior and start to build systems that actually reinforce the very behavior that we are seeking to avoid.

If on the other hand we treat all woman as if they are spotless virgins, then the entire gender is elevated and systems are established to reinforce that behavior.

The same behavior is applicable to the church. As I start to retreat from and expect bad behavior, I reinforce the stereotype and holistically do damage to His bride.
