Double Standards II (Men and purity)
It's more acceptable for men to commit premarital sex than women
Definitely NOT ACCEPTABLE!
Yes, men won’t get pregnant BUT they can get the female sex partner pregnant, acquire sexually transmitted diseases and infect everyone they have intercourse with.
What if the guy isn’t ready to have a family yet, a baby to provide for or won’t marry the poor impregnated girl? Who loses? Both, because the girl will be raising the baby (abortion shouldn’t even be a choice here) by herself, out of wedlock and the guy will have a child outside of marriage too and even if he doesn’t marry her, he will still have to provide because the law would require him to.
And it’s really idiocy to think that sex can make a man more ‘manly’. Sex doesn’t turn boys into men. When has it become befitting for a “man” a “real man”, to take advantage of women he has no intention of marrying and use them only for self gratification?
“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.” – Genesis 2:24-25 (KJV) – Notice that it says “unto his wife” NOT “unto his girlfriend or unto a woman.
It's more acceptable for a married man to commit adultery than married women
NO Way!
Infidelity destroys the family and hurts the children no matter who committed it, the husband or the wife. The pain and the consequences are the same. It’s not true that it hurts men more if it’s the wife who was unfaithful, it hurts just as much if it’s the other way around; it’s still betrayal!
It’s not true that men can’t help it; it’s a deception we want to believe to justify unfaithfulness. Women are just as vulnerable to temptation as the men.
When God said “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.” – Hebrews 13:4 (NIV) He’s saying it to both the husband and wife.
It’s time we change the standards, the social norm that chastity should only be practiced by women. Men ought to stay just as pure and faithful.
