Hot or not?

This post is mainly for guys out there. If we are truly going to assist women in this world, then we really need to think what terms we use when speaking to and about them. We should refrain from calling them "hot." Partly because of the stereotype that the word refers to the sexual nature of a woman rather than the spiritual nature of a woman, which is first and foremost. If I sound a little strong, just honestly think about it from the woman's perspective - if we call them hot, then that changes their idea of how we see them, even though we might simply mean that they are "beautiful," "pretty," or "gorgeous" (there are three other alternatives to "hot"). Some girls might not have the highest levels of self esteem (I hope I am wrong here), but we should speak to them as if they are dignified and gorgeous people. Often those three other terms signify more of an inner beauty, which is what we most want to project to them.

If we are trying to change the culture, then we should fight back against using terms that steretypcially refer to a sexual nature rather than a spiritual and physical nature. Stereotypes are often stereotypes for a reason, and with as fragile a sense of womanhood some women might (but hopefully not) have, we need to do everything to build them up and not refer to them as "hot" but rather "gorgeous."

Fight the culture and reestablish the woman as a dignified person.
