Nail Polish?

I have just a few questions about the new fad in nail polish!

Did anyone notice that it was all men on the team that created this nail polish that will let a woman know if “roofies” (date rape drug) has been added to her drink? All she has to do is dip a finger (or toe?) into her drink and it will change color, indicating that all is not right in Paradise.

That may be fine, and some may say it’s men who are trying to help women prevent rape, but I wonder what that really means?

Isn’t it about time we taught men that rape is not okay under any circumstance? Why are we applauding this creation at all? Why should women be responsible for whether they are raped or not? And why are we still saying that if a woman dresses in a certain way they are just "asking for it?"

Put the nail polish on the man’s . . . (uh, decided not to go there), and let him take the responsibility for not raping!

As a mother of two adult sons, I hope I taught them how to respect a woman and not feel it was their “right” to rape her. 

I could go on and on, but I’ll let it rest there, and give you the opportunity to think through this issue and what it really means for your own life.

I blow you a kiss!
