Women and College Life

Women should always be respected.
Then again, women should always have a certain level of respect for themselves. Let’s go back for a second. In high school, we all have certain judgments of people. Some were the “nerds,” some were the “know it alls,” and some were the ones that go too far, always speak loud and you know their coming from miles away.
College life is sort of the same way. Everyone ends up being part of some sort of a crew. Some groups of friends like to drink, some like to party, and then there are those certain groups of friends that have bad reputations because of how they act around men. Reputations are formed quickly, especially for women. Men are always exaggerating what they did with a women and soon all their friends know one certain story, while the women know the truth. I am not fully blaming men though, because there are some decent ones out there ladies.
Right now, what I have started to see is a low self-respect by women for themselves. Going in and out of boys’ rooms like its nothing or bragging about all of those boys’ numbers they have in their phone. Don’t get me wrong, some women are respectful of themselves. They keep a distance from the “players” and always know when too far is not the right way to go is. What I am trying to say, is that women complain about the fact that men do not respect them, but it “takes two to tango”. Being a young woman myself I understand what goes on. The level of respect for women is decreased by men, but then again there are certain things that we as women do that give men a certain view of ourselves.
Some women ask, “What gives men the right to bet on me? What am I some prize?” Well let me tell you. It’s how a woman puts herself out there. You make your own reputation. This issue has been talked about since the day I moved into my dorm. Some women already have a bad reputation just by inviting plenty of guys to their dorms. Sometimes lies and rumors can’t be fought. How far would you go to get a man to notice you? Be careful girls.
