Since I am on a roll with people of fame and the context of oxymoron. Remember an oxymoron is something of contradictory terms.
Let me ask you this question, “If the head of your department at work, bragged about having sexual relationships with several staff people, wouldn’t they be fired for sexual harassment?” So how does David Letterman get by? Isn’t that the same thing? Except for the world it’s funny – ha ha. It’s boosting the ratings of his show. No one from CBS has said anything about a sexual harassment suit charged against him. He hasn’t been put on leave until things can be sorted out.
If you or I made an announcement like that at our place of work, we would be out reading the help wanted ads by now.
I thought we had ethical considerations for how women are treated in the work place? If it’s not sexual harassment, it would at least be power abuse. C’mon what’s the world coming to!
I recall the woman caught in sexual sin and the Pharisees were about to stone her to death. Jesus commented, “Those without sin cast the first stone.” Jesus came to her aid. [And by the way where was the man who was part of her sexual sin? How come he wasn't about to be stoned to death?]
I recall the woman who poured a year’s worth of perfume on Jesus and was ridiculed by the disciples. Jesus came to her aid.
I recall the woman with a twelve year flow of blood who touched Jesus garment for healing and Jesus came to her aid.
We say pornography is wrong and yet look at how large a business it is. We turn the other way when president’s say, “I didn’t have sexual relations with that woman.” or celebrities reveal their dirty laundry just to keep from having it twisted and aired by the media.
What is wrong with us to say it’s bad for one and yet good for another? October is Breast Cancer awareness month and we have our women in our lives covered in pink to show our support. How about next month we continue to show our support to women who are manipulated in the work place by power abuse and sexual harassment. How about support for women who are abused in domestic violence. How about showing our support for women who are enslaved into prostitution.
How about the next time a comedian talks about their multiple sexual conquests we say, “That’s not funny!” Tune out what is wrong in this world and speak up for what is right!
