I couldn't help but be sadden while watching today's episode, knowing there would be other women out there hating on the young Ms. Nevada for her actions. We spend thousands if not millions of dollars a year on medication and gym memberships and trips to the mall to make us feel better about ourselves and especially our bodies- When here, we have a young women who is proud of how she looks, and able to admit she may have made bad choices. We condone her, but have no problem defending a woman who chooses to stay with an unfaithful man, who we know has children- We want to stop the cycle of men cheating and disrespecting women? We stop saying it is okay for women to stay in unfaithful and unloving and unhealthy relationships because of kids- Guess what? I would rather my daughter learn acceptance and pride in her body, than that it is okay to accept an unfaithful partner, because she has kids. We teach our kids through actions- I heard Ms. Nevada apologize for her mistake, but not once heard the wife apologize for staying or for teaching her children that this behavior (cheating and ignoring) were acceptable.
