Right now I’m reading the prequel to The Prisoner of
Zenda. It’s called The Heart of Princess
Osra. I’m only on chapter 5, but
basically up to this point every chapter follows the life of a different man
who falls in love with Princess Osra.
Every one of them either must leave the country or die because her
beauty has driven them mad with love. In
one case a man, who has disguised himself as a soldier to get close to her,
ultimately decides to kill the princess so that honest men will no longer
suffer because of her beauty. He, of
course can’t do it, but instead dies to protect the Princess. After this Osra asks the King to make her a
nun so “that she might trouble honest men no more.”
This is an entertaining story to read, but is a pack of lies
for girls. Let me address five myths:
Myth #1: Men can’t control themselves.
Bull. There are men
who don’t control themselves, but that’s true of anyone, right? What you wear, or how you look, doesn’t make
a guy do anything. In the Christian
world we talk about girls causing guys “to stumble” by wearing clothing that
might cause them to lust. Girls don’t
cause this. This is important because
lots of girls feel ashamed of themselves when they have been violated
(physically or verbally or by text etc.) by a guy. There is part of them that feels like they
caused it or “asked” for it. I’d like to
drive 100mph on the highway because it would be a thrill, but I choose not to
do it. But, if I did, and got a ticket,
I can’t say “movies with chase scenes” made me do it. If a guy blamed you for a violation of his,
he is lying.
