The New Morality and the Walk of Shame - Todd Strandberg - http://www.raptureready.com/rap16.html
I've heard the term "walk of shame" before, but for the longest time I didn't quite understand what it means in popular culture. I thought it generally applied to anyone who does something stupid. That is one of the definitions of the term. The most common term is one that is always applied to women in a disparaging way.
It is when a woman leaves the home of a man (quite possibly one she met the night before) in the early morning hours. The giveaway is her attire is not matching the morning setting.
It is sort of a strange Cinderella story in reverse where a typically beautiful woman goes out on the town to have a good time and 12 hours later she turns into a harlot when she emerges on the street, minus prince charming or her party friends.
I'm left to ask, why the carefree morality of today has such a double-standard? Avoiding the walk of shame should apply 24 hours, yet this culture now encourages women to act like citizens of Sodom once the sun goes down. Once daylight comes, these women are open targets for ridicule.
Society and culture put pressure on the young to make their bodies the center of attention; rather than emphasizing the attainment of higher spiritual and intellectual achievement and values. All young women are certainly encouraged to follow popular role models like Miley Cyrus, Paris Hilton, and Kim Kardashian.
Being a woman of progressive morals is a very lucrative occupation. Every time Miley Cyrus strips down to her underwear on stage with her tongue hanging out, a cash register rings. The Kardashian sisters make millions each year flaunting their looks. Yes, everything about these people and those like them is vapor. But the chorus of media tells women, "This is who you should be like."
Just last week, Kourtney Kardashian made headlines by posing semi-nude while pregnant, for a magazine. She offered this explanation for the photo shoot, "It's what a woman's body is made to do, so I hope it's maybe seen as something that's artistic."
How can I argue with this mountain of wisdom?
Years ago, Demi Moore started the nude prego crazy rolling in August 1991, when she exposed her baby bump (and everything else) on the cover of Vanity Fair. I thought it was gross and pointless, but no one asked for my opinion at the time.
The problem with this game, the party will only last until the wall of beauty runs dry. A girl could be a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show model that is wined and dined by the most famous rock star boyfriend. A few years later, stud boy is out chasing younger flesh and a DUI is the only reason why someone would want to take the picture of the ex-model.
It will never be normal and natural for a women whore herself out. Virtue and beauty go hand in hand. The best looking porn star will always shine dimmer to a physically less attractive girl who is pure and innocent.
Women who think otherwise are playing a fool's game. This past year, several female celebrities had personal nude photos stolen and placed on the Internet. I don't know why they would have these photos. Once they became public, there was no one in the liberal left saying, "What is the big deal?" These women suffered shame because they had bought into the naked body in nature lie.
Beauty is, as the old saying goes, in the eyes of the beholder. I don't find the vast majority of these so-called "hot celebrities" the least bit attractive. Yes, most of them are good looking physically, but their sinful lifestyle makes them unappealing in the eyes of God (and anyone with decent morals). You could be the ugliest person on the planet and still have an eternal beauty that can never be dismissed.
Someday soon the ultimate walk of shame will take place. When the Lord Jesus judges this world the morals of today will be proven to be a lie from the pit of hell.
"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner-self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight" (1 Peter 3:3-4).
"Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is much more important, for it promises a reward in both this life and the next" (1 Timothy 4:8).
