Strong Women

I watched So You Think You Can Dance last night and was pretty frustrated with all the hoopla and standing ovation for the two girls dancing together.  I really didn't see anything that spectacular about Sasha's and Melanie's dance. Don't get me wrong, it was a good piece and they danced very well (although I did feel that Melanie was having to keep up with Sasha) but I really felt like it was just a "praising" just to try to get people to accept two women together not being women but being strong.  Why this need to portray women as fierce and manly and strong and androgenous?  What's wrong with a woman being a woman!  People are really being duped.  What God created in men and women is a beautiful thing.  There is nothing inferior or less about a woman.  Both male and female have very important and powerful roles and positions and responsibilities and we all need to accept who we are, male or female, and be our best.  Marriage is not for two women or two men - it is for one man and one woman.  People can have friends that are the same sex and can enjoy doing things together but they can not experience marriage as it was created to be.  What they have should be considered friendship.  Intimacy as it was designed can not be experienced by two people of the same sex.  When people say things like "I'm just being myself" in relation to their sexuality it's a lie.  If you were created as a male and you try to be a female you couldn't be any further from being yourself - you are a male!  I feel that we as a society can help with some of these, to me, inaccurate feelings by not making someone who enjoys sewing or dancing or something that seems opposite of what society says is masculine or feminine feel that they can't enjoy those things and be male/female.  I'm sure this doesn't make a lot of sense and many would argue otherwise but these are just my thoughts and feelings and how I felt at the end of the show last night.  I like being "a weaker vessel" that is loved, adored, honored, respected, needed, etc. and I know the strength I have in the relationship I have with my husband.  Together we make each other stronger!
