Sexual Abuse Not A Male Rite of Passage

Just when I thought it was safe to watch enetertainment news, some foolishnees come across the screen. According to an interview he did in Germany, Chris Brown said he First had sex at the age of 8 years old with a 14 year old girl. I am not shocked at his admission. It could be a lie in an attempt to look cool. It could be the truth in an attempt to look cool. But it is not cool. An 8 year old having sex is not anything to be proud of. That is sexual abuse.

Eight year olds should be watching Disney & Nickelodeon not having sex. The fourteen year old should have been doing homework and preparing herself for her future not diddling with younger children. I saw a gossip blog post their opinion on Facebook and many people men and women felt that what Brown did was consensual. How does an eight year old consent to sex? Only in the minds of people who think it is ok for boys to be little boys would think that was consensual. Having sex does not make any male a man. If this was a Christina Brown saying the same thing, society would be up in arms about the situation. If Chris Brown said he first had sex with a 14 year old boy at 8 years old, the word sexual abuse would roll off everyone's mouths. But sexist, macho attitudes makes it hard to accept that even though it was a young girl older than Brown, he was still sexually abused.

I can't be shocked this is the same society that says "R' Kelly had sex with a young girl on a video tape" but still bounce their butts to his music before he was acquitted of the charges. This is the same society that takes decades to convict priest and ministers of molesting children. This is the same society that brag about knowing fathers that took there teen sons to prostitutes to experience their first times and yet they don't have a CPS case. Until society changes their attitudes, this will still not be seen as sexual abuse. It will continue to be thought of a Male Rite of Passage. And there will still be a bunch of sexed up children walking around confused about what is going on with their bodies and their emotions.

Poor Chris Brown. He's victim of sexual abuse. But thanks to society he's too ignorant to even know it.

Passionate to Death

Did you watch Grey's Anatomy this past Thursday? I know, Stunning!!! The old surgeon that was mentoring Yang DIED in the middle of of a surgery. WoW!!!

It's been said in a few previous blogs that I was raised in a Christian church. So I have heard my share of
ministers dying immediately after they have preached. Both young and old ministers and of all races. I have also heard that was the "Way all Reverends Want to Leave this Earth". Last breath they take is Proclaiming God's Word. I thought it was a "preacher thing". Just like "if the Pastor come to your home to eat, you give him the biggest piece of chicken. Just "stuff" church folk say.

I had Never heard of anyone else "doing that" until Thursday. The old surgeon died saving someone else life and giving sage advice to a younger surgeon he thought had so much potential.

Dying doing the thing you are most passionate about. What a concept!!! Many of us have a Bucket List but have you ever thought about the thing you would want to Do To Death. I've thought about the thing I would do even I never got paid for it. I was told that was "My Career". I found some truth in that, unfortunately. *smiling* The thing you love that you don't mind Dying Doing It. That has to be your "Life's Calling", in my opinion.

Everyone wants to leave here with a smile on there face. I bet doing something you truly Love would give you the BIGGEST smile. A smile that you would light up your funeral so much that no one would think to be sad.

I challenge All of Us to do things that we are "Passionate to Death" about. You might leave this Earth doing it with a Great Big Smile on your face.
