Was a book review, now it's not.
I was going to review a book called A Woman's Worth by Marianne Williams. I'm sorry to say it won't make it as I cannot bring myself to finish the book. I made as far as about half the first chapter and was too mad to finish it. So, in light of the fact that i fell the need to review what i did read, here a statment and then the review of the preface and part of the first chapter.
What the hell is going on here! And where did this woman get her info about "the hell and bak club"(as she would put it.)
This review is my own personal opinion. I do NOT apologize if it offends anyone, as I am entitled to have my own opinion. :
A woman's Worth: Marianne Williams 1993
Preface review:
"For us, for women who have been to hell and back?"
Firstly, I don't think the women who made this statement really understand what this fraize means. The author claims that knowing what it means make it a membership badge for the club, a badge of honor so to speak. I don't think she full understands what it means. My best friend really has been to "hell and back" She knows what it means. Some of what I have been through myself makes me a nominee, not a member. I have not truly been through hell. Just glimpsed it in the distance waiting for the right catalyst.
Miss(or Ms. or Mrs.) Williams listed abortion as one of the things that makes you a member of this club. From a personal stand point, that is NOT CORRECT. Abortion is the murder of the child you are to be protecting. An infant separate from your body that has a visibly heartbeat at 3 months. That from the minute you start seeing an obstetrition they can monitor for health. It has it's own arms, legs fingers toes, organs, brain and body funtions. It is not part of your body. The reason we reproduce by incubation for 9 months is because it is the safest place for the baby. Abortion is the murder of a helpless human being. IT DOES NOT MAKE YOU A MEMBER OF THE CLUB.
As for the rest of the book:
I could not make it more than half through the first chapter because it became clear that the sum up from the inside cover makes the book mascarade as a christian book, but in truth I don't think the woman believes in God at all. The book also seems to be makeing women fell better about liking sex so much they can have it with men who aren't thier husbands.(yes i know i had sex with the my husband before we were married i'll clarify). It seems to make married women fell better about that. Unfortunately for the unmarried girls our culture has taught them that virginity is something that does not need to be charished.
That is af far as I got. I am not going to finish the book. I do not apologize for offending anyone. My personal views are mine and you are entitled to have yours. I only hope that any who read this post understand that my views cannot be changed, but that i will not forcfe them on you either. I would like to hear your views and I hope you are not overly vexed by mine.
